- Lead the technical handover and knowledge transfer of existing software solutions from external partners, building sustainable internal expertise.
- Support the development of an internal team of developers through onboarding, mentoring, knowledge sharing, and technical guidance.

- Solid understanding of software architecture, databases, APIs, automated testing, Git-based development, and modern software engineering standards.
- Experience with technologies such as Java, Python, Oracle/PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes/OpenShift, and Azure/AWS is beneficial; however, the ability to quickly learn and work across different technology stacks is more important than deep expertise in a specific technology.
