Senior Lead Developer

The Hoppinger Group is growing, and we need a Senior Lead Developer to support our Group CTO with defining and maintaining a roadmap to take the development team of Hoppinger into a future of great code and great added value for our customers.  

As Senior Lead Developer you will actively seek and deliver input to the CTO for the long-term technical strategy of Hoppinger, and you will translate that strategy into a tactical roadmap while then monitoring and facilitating its operational execution. 

You will help the development team standardize their operations even more by enhancing reuse of code and components at all levels of our software, standardize our DevOps pipelines, and further improve the quality and effectiveness of our delivery. And by setting up training and information sharing structures you will make sure that all developers get onboarded along the proper structures. 

Of course you will not do this alone. The team is proven and a group of senior experts and architects will assist you in giving form to the roadmap. The board of the group are an experienced team who will be able to offer coaching both operationally and technical. And the sister companies Hoppinger Business Solutions and Vidda Digital will further contribute with the consolidated knowledge coming from their own expertise.
