Each stream will take end-to-end ownership of its roadmap, delivery and releases, enabling teams to move faster, make better decisions and deliver meaningful impact.\nThe Role\nShape the architecture. Drive engineering excellence. Make an impact.\nAs our Java Staff Engineer, you'll take architectural ownership within one of our value streams, guiding three to four engineering teams towards scalable, reliable and maintainable solutions. You'll simplify complexity, reduce dependencies and turn our Principal Engineers' architectural vision into practical engineering standards.\nWith Java becoming our primary backend language, you'll play a key role in driving this transformation, modernizing services and growing Java expertise across teams.\nThis is a hands-on technical leadership role where you'll lead through expertise, collaboration and coaching - empowering Tech Leads, raising engineering standards and shaping the future of our technology landscape.\nWhat You'll Do\nShape the architecture: Own the technical direction of your value stream, translating architectural principles into practical standards and scalable, maintainable solutions.\nReduce complexity: Simplify systems, consolidate technologies and reduce dependencies to enable autonomous teams and independent, low-risk releases.\nDrive our Java transformation: Lead the migration towards Java, establish best practices and help engineers grow their Java expertise.\nChampion engineering excellence: Set the standards for code quality, testing, reliability, security and observability, fostering a strong \"you build it, you run it\" culture.\nEmpower technical leaders: Coach and mentor Tech Leads through architectural guidance, constructive reviews and knowledge sharing.\nTake end-to-end ownership: Drive the development and operation of components within your value stream, including shared services.\nInfluence strategic decisions: Partner with Product, Delivery Leadership, Principal Engineers and our CISO to align architecture, delivery, quality and security.\nWhat We're Looking For\nDeep Java expertise: Extensive hands-on experience with Java and its ecosystem, designing, building and operating production backend systems.\nCloud-native know-how: Strong experience with cloud technologies, Docker, Kubernetes and distributed, event-driven architectures. Azure is a plus.\nArchitectural leadership: A proven track record of driving complex architectural changes across multiple systems and teams, balancing technical excellence with pragmatic decisions.\nQuality-driven mindset: A strong focus on clean code, testing, observability, reliability and continuous improvement.\nTechnology versatility: Openness to working across different technologies, including Ruby and TypeScript, with the ability to see the bigger architectural picture.\nLeadership through influence: The ability to align teams, communicate technical decisions clearly and inspire others without formal authority.\nPassion for mentoring: A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for coaching engineers and developing Tech Leads.\nLanguage skills: Fluent English and German proficiency at a minimum C1 level are required, as English is our company language. Applicants must also reside in Germany.\nWhat We Offer\nReal impact and ownership: Take on a high-impact technical leadership role where your decisions directly influence architecture, engineering quality and the future of our technology landscape.\nShape an engineering transformation: Play a key role in evolving our engineering organization, driving our Java transition and building the foundations for autonomous, high-performing teams.\nTechnical leadership without people management: Focus on what you do best - solving complex engineering challenges, shaping architecture and helping others grow.\nA voice in strategic decisions: Work directly with Product Managers, People and Delivery Leads and Principal Engineers to shape technical direction and contribute to the success of your value stream.\nRemote flexibility: Enjoy a fully remote, permanent position with the freedom to work from anywhere in Germany.\nReady to make an Impact?\nIf you're passionate about building great software, tackling complex architectural challenges and empowering engineering teams to do their best work, we'd love to hear from you.\nJoin FinLink and help shape the future of our engineering organization.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4859,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Mortgage Lending & Brokers","Financial Comparison & Loan Marketplaces"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T15:43:31Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-22T05:24:29Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/baufi24-java-staff-engineer-mwd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/baufi24-java-staff-engineer-mwd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T07:24:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3004,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2754564},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2754564"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbaufi24-java-staff-engineer-mwd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbaufi24-java-staff-engineer-mwd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbaufi24-java-staff-engineer-mwd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/baufi24-java-staff-engineer-mwd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbaufi24-java-staff-engineer-mwd"}]}
