Are you passionate about improving the developer experience and shaping the foundation for secure, scalable software delivery? As Product Lead for our Internal Developer Platform (IDP), you'll play a key role in designing and evolving a modern, self-service platform that empowers our engineering teams and enforces a robust Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC).
You’ll work closely with experienced platform engineers to create a highly automated, secure, and developer-friendly environment — with a strong focus on infrastructure-as-code, observability, and DevSecOps principles.

The Platform Unit delivers measurable business impact by enabling faster time-to-market, reducing development costs, and improving product quality through scalable and reusable services & components.

Our mission is to lead the transformation to a company-wide platform approach by developing and maintaining shared infrastructure and services as strategic assets. We enable scalable, efficient product development and foster innovation across the organization, empowering teams to deliver value faster and more effectively. We provide the technical means to develop entirely new product classes.

The unit consists of a team of highly motivated software engineers focused on cutting-edge, security-focused technologies and a DevSecOps platform that supports the entire lifecycle of our products. This is a dynamic and evolving team, offering exciting challenges and opportunities for growth.

What You'll Do

• Take full product ownership of our Internal Developer Platform — from vision to implementation and operation
• Design and evolve a secure, scalable self-service platform that enables our engineering teams to move faster and safer
• Collaborate closely with developers, security, and product mangers to understand their needs and translate them into platform features
• Engage customers and use their feedback to continually improve the product direction
• Influence technical priorities and business strategy through data-driven contributions to advance our products’ success inside secunet
• Identify and confirm needs inside the organisation to come up with new products
• Interface with business and engineering to ensure the continuous success of our products
• Capture, document, and communicate business and technical product requirements

What You Bring

• Several years of experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or Technical Program Manager in a DevOps, Platform, or Infrastructure setting
• Strong technical understanding of developer tooling, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, observability, and security
• You’re familiar with the needs of modern software engineers — and know how to turn those into actionable platform capabilities
• Hands-on experience with Internal Developer Platforms or related tooling is a big plus
• Bonus points if you're familiar with Nix/NixOS, Terraform, Kubernetes, GitOps, or Rust
• You’re structured, pragmatic, and a great communicator — fluent in both technical and stakeholder conversations
• You thrive in cross-functional environments and care deeply about creating real value for engineers

What We Offer

• A rare opportunity to build a Developer Platform from the ground up
• Work with a cutting-edge tech stack in an ambitious, high-impact environment
• A clear product vision, lots of freedom to shape your work, and experienced teammates
• Flat hierarchies, quick decision-making, and a strong engineering culture
• Flexible working hours, remote options, and modern equipmen
