Your creative field
We are looking for a full-time, permanent Teamlead Platform (all genders) to start as soon as possible. We live remote-first, but you have the freedom to choose whether you want to work hybrid or completely on-site due to your proximity to one of our locations.
Our platform forms the technical foundation of our most important and revenue-driving product — and with that, a direct lever for Contabo’s overall development. As Team Lead Platform, you ensure that this foundation remains stable, evolves in a meaningful way, and is operated with pragmatic decision-making. Changes here have an impact at datacenter scale, not on a single environment — which is why you keep the overview, set clear priorities, and make sure that adjustments are rolled out in a controlled, step-by-step manner.
In this role, you lead an experienced team of Platform Engineers and a Platform Architect. You bring structure to workflows, create transparency within the Kanban process, prevent unnecessary “fire-and-forget” changes, and help your team stay focused even when multiple topics are running in parallel. At the same time, you remain hands-on enough to stay close to the systems and decisions — without sliding into day-to-day micromanagement.
Beyond daily operations, you work on initiatives that secure long-term stability and efficiency: you ensure that metrics and data become reliably usable, forecasting becomes possible, and processes no longer depend on individual knowledge. You combine technical depth with economic reasoning and act as a sparring partner for architectural decisions — not as a blocker, but as someone who evaluates impact, risk and priorities clearly and constructively.
The success of this role is clearly defined: the evolution of our platform and its surrounding mechanisms enables the evolution of the entire company. When your work delivers impact, products scale predictably, processes become repeatable, and Contabo continues to grow on a stable foundation.
