In the processes we automate, customers achieve productivity improvements of 5 to 10 times.\nTo date, BLP remains majority employee-owned, with Goldman Sachs holding a minority stake as a growth investor. Our success is driven by deep expertise in technology and business processes, a superior product with strong product-market fit, reflected in an expanding customer base that includes Fortune 500 companies.\nBLP is one of Switzerland's fastest-growing SaaS scale-ups; we are now entering our next phase of growth. From our headquarters on Zürich's Bahnhofstrasse, we're expanding globally, with a growing presence across Europe and North America.\nJoin us and help make autonomous operations the new standard. \nAbout the role\nInvoices is BLP's largest product. Every day, it decides whether a supplier invoice can be posted to the customer's ERP without a human touching it. The invoice team builds and runs that product.\nThis is a leadership job with three parts that are equally important:\nBuild the team. The team is growing fast and is distributed across Zurich and several European countries. You hire, onboard, and grow engineers, and you develop the subteam leads who will carry more of the line management as we scale.\n\nDeliver for our biggest customers. Some of the largest enterprises in Europe are rolling out BLP right now. Their go-lives, automation rates, and escalations land on your desk, and you make sure the team delivers on what we promised.\n\nTurn the team into an empowered product team. Today, a lot of work still arrives as requests through proxies. You lead the shift toward a team that owns its problem space, defines outcomes, measures them, and decides what to build.\n\nAs Engineering Team Lead for Invoices, you lead the team that owns BLP's invoice product: You own the team's roadmap, delivery, people, and hiring.\nThis job is for you if you want to lead a strong engineering team through its next phase of growth and own the result.\nYou report to the Director of Product Engineering and work closely with the other product team leads, product management, and the go-to-market organization (project managers, customer success, and sales). The team is organized in subteams, each with its own lead, and you are the person who keeps them aligned.\nWhat you'll do\nLead and grow the team\nRun regular 1:1s, ensure growth of the engineers in your team, review progress, and make promotion and ranking decisions together with engineering leadership.\n\nCoach and develop subteam leads, and set up the subteam structure as the team grows.\n\nKeep a distributed team connected and productive: clear working agreements, transparent planning, and a culture where people raise problems early.\n\nHire\nOwn hiring for the team end to end: define the profiles, screen candidates, run interviews, review coding challenges, and close offers together with Talent Acquisition.\n\nKeep a high bar while hiring at pace (our current target is around two new engineers per month), and make sure every new joiner has an onboarding plan and a buddy.\n\nOwn the roadmap and priorities\nBuild the quarterly roadmap and run monthly planning with product owners and product management, prioritizing by customer impact, revenue, and strategic value.\n\nBalance enterprise go-lives, automation improvements, platform migration, developer experience, operations, and new products, and say no when something does not move the product forward.\n\nEscalate early and clearly when priorities conflict, and communicate decisions to the go-to-market organization.\n\nDeliver for strategic enterprise customers\nTake responsibility for the engineering side of large enterprise go-lives: requirements engineering, solution design, test and fix cycles, and go-live readiness.\n\nWork directly with project managers and, where needed, with customer stakeholders and their IT teams, and give clear, regular engineering updates.\n\nClose gaps in the product rather than per customer, so the next enterprise customer arrives on a platform that already handles their case.\n\nWhat you'll bring\nYou have led an engineering team of 8+ people for at least two years, ideally in B2B SaaS, and you have grown a team through hiring rather than only inheriting one.\n\nYou have a strong backend engineering background and can still read, review, and discuss production code and system design with senior engineers.\n\nYou have hired many engineers yourself, you know what a high bar looks like, and you can run a structured interview process.\n\nYou have delivered complex software for enterprise customers, including demanding go-lives, and you are comfortable in a room with customer stakeholders.\n\nYou prioritize ruthlessly, communicate trade-offs clearly, and can hold a position with engineers, sales, and executives while keeping the relationship.\n\nYou develop people: you give direct feedback, set measurable goals, and help engineers grow into leads.\n\nYou take ownership, surface problems early, ask for help when you are stuck, and hold your team to the same standard.\n\nYou are fluent in English. German is a strong plus, since many of our customers and colleagues are in the DACH region.\n\nWhat you'll get\nA real mandate. You own the invoice team end to end: people, hiring, roadmap, and delivery.\n\nImpact you can measure. Automation rates and go-lives on our largest accounts are directly visible to customers and to the business.\n\nA strong team. Engineers from serious academic and industry backgrounds who care about doing the work well, with subteam leads already in place.\n\nA smooth handover. The current team lead moves into a new role in engineering leadership and stays available to support your start.\n\nRoom to grow. As a fast-growing, global AI company, BLP keeps creating new leadership opportunities.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6113,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Workflow & Process Automation (RPA, BPM)","AI Agents","Document AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T15:34:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":5,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:4","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/blp-digital-team-lead-invoices","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/blp-digital-team-lead-invoices.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T22:17:15Z","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":548,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"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":716964},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=716964"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fblp-digital-team-lead-invoices"},{"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%2Fblp-digital-team-lead-invoices"},{"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%2Fblp-digital-team-lead-invoices"},{"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/blp-digital-team-lead-invoices\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fblp-digital-team-lead-invoices"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3466012}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"blp.digital","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3466012},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
