Head of Engineering

BIT Capital | Head of Engineering | Berlin, Germany | ONSITE (2 days/week) | Full-time Looking for the key engineering leader to build and scale infrastructure and data platforms for a Berlin asset management fund. We are betting big on AI to drive investment returns and build the best infrastructure to support our high alpha targets (track record >35% p.a. since inception; https://bitcap.com/en/bit-global-technology-opportunities-ai...). You'll design large-scale data pipelines, evolve our lakehouse architecture, strengthen data quality and observability, and build infrastructure for AI/LLM workflows (agentic scaffolding, RAG, LLMOps, AI for engineering). We are looking for a hands-on technical leader, that is steering initiatives end-to-end while staying deep in implementation. We have our roots in tech entrepreneurship (Jan Beckers), and this mindset still dominates our work culture, even as a regulated financial institution. We are a team of 45 tech- & investment experts with a flat hierarchy, hands-on leadership, fast-paced decisions, and a little nerdy culture as people are actually passionate about their work. Stack: AWS, Databricks/Spark, Python, PostgreSQL, Agentic AI. If the complexity of financial markets excites you as much as the complexity of distributed systems, you'll love it here. Competitive comp, relocation & visa support, stellar team. Reach out via: marc.thanhaeuser@bitcap.com
