These are our current challenges and future goals:

We are looking for a senior technical leader to own how our core business systems fit together and evolve over time.

The role sits between strategy and execution, with the technical depth to engage meaningfully with engineers, vendors, and implementation teams, while staying focused on system-level design, decision quality, and long-term outcomes.

You will work across our core operational and commercial systems, defining integration patterns and a pragmatic target system architecture, while acting as an escalation and decision layer between business and delivery teams.

This is where we need your support:

Own system-level technical decisions

• Take clear ownership of integration and system design decisions.
• Frame trade-offs across cost, complexity, risk, speed, and sustainability.
• Document decisions and ensure they are understood and applied.

Establish a shared view of the system landscape

• Assess a fragmented, independently evolved system landscape.
• Identify the highest-leverage areas to improve coherence and reduce risk.
• Define where to start and why, in a way the organization can align behind.

Define integration patterns and guardrails

• Establish clear system boundaries and integration principles.
• Enable systems to evolve independently without brittle coupling.

Manage long-term complexity and risk

• Identify failure modes and structural risks early.
• Prevent silent accumulation of technical debt through deliberate design.

Act as a technical counterpart to the business

• Translate business objectives into sound technical structures.
• Partner with Product, Operations, Finance, and Tech leadership.
• Challenge proposals that introduce unnecessary long-term cost or risk.

Work with vendors and delivery teams

• Evaluate system changes from a whole-system perspective.
• Provide guidance and review without owning delivery or execution.

You have the following experience:

• Senior experience in system design, integration, or technical leadership roles.
• A track record of owning cross-system technical decisions.
• Comfort operating in SaaS-heavy, vendor-managed environments.
• Clear, pragmatic communication across technical and non-technical teams.

That's something you can look forward to:

• Work flexibly, in the way that suits you best. Work when and where you’re most productive – with flexible hours and smart time tracking.
• Home office? Done right. We’ve got you covered: receive a one-time €500 allowance to set up your perfect workspace.
• Fully equipped from day one. Mac or Windows – you choose what works best for you.
• Glow Card – your monthly treat. Get €50 every month to spend however you like – that’s €600 a year, just because.
• Learning is part of the deal. Whether it’s our Glowcademy, dedicated learning time, or personal development support – we invest in you, not just in numbers.
• Let’s Glow! Enjoy 40% off our entire product range – yes, everything.
• Take a break – you’ve earned it. 30 vacation days + 1 personal holiday + up to 10 additional unpaid days off when you need a real reset. Oh, and New Year’s Eve? That’s a day off too!
• Stay healthy, stay glowing. Our company health insurance reimburses up to €600 per year for extras like vision aids, alternative medicine, or dental cleanings.
• Thinking ahead. After your probation period, we’ll contribute €600 toward your pension plan – and if you add more, we’ll top it up with an extra 20%.
• Exclusive partner perks. Get access to discounts and special offers from top brands through our corporate benefit platforms.
• Team spirit to go . Our Glow25 merch is more than just fabric – it’s your badge of belonging.
• Culture that truly shines. For five years in a row, we’ve been recognized as a Top Company on Kununu - proof of the strong, positive, and genuine culture we live every day.
• Move your way. From workouts to wellness retreats – you decide how to stay active. Choose between Urban Sports Club or Wellpass.

Yay! You've made it this far!

But there’s one more thing we want to say: Don’t hesitate! Especially if you’re a woman, or from an underrepresented group. Even if you don’t check every box, we want to encourage you to apply anyway. We believe that a diverse range of perspectives and experiences makes a team stronger – and the stronger our team is, the better we can fulfil our mission of helping people bring more energy into their daily lives.
