Behind every story — the breaking news alert, the long\-form investigation, the live updates during an election night — is our home\-grown CMS, Unity. Unity is constantly evolving and built on Java and Boot, and it's the system that powers our newsrooms.We're looking for a Technical Lead to own Unity’s codebase, architecture and technical roadmap, to lead the four engineers who build it with you, and to collaborate with other teams and product owners. This is a hands\-on engineering role, and you'll also make sure the system, and the team, keep getting better.**What you can expect:*** Own the backend architecture. Our stack is Java 25, Boot 4, JPA, MariaDB, RabbitMQ, and Elasticsearch, among others.* Lead your team of four engineers in Zurich and Belgrade. Grow your people. Provide mentorship, technical coaching and general support for your team. Make sure the team runs smoothly and efficiently.* Be responsible for designing, developing and maintaining performant backend services, APIs, messaging patterns and integration flows* Define code quality standards, best practices, CI/CD pipelines, and keep improving DX.* Modernize what needs it. Parts of the CMS carry real history. Lead refactoring and modernization work that keeps the platform future\-ready — without grinding general delivery to a halt.* Ship faster for editorial. Our newsrooms' needs evolve constantly — new formats, new workflows, AI\-assisted tooling. You'll make sure the backend is an enabler for that, not a bottleneck.* Split your week roughly evenly between hands\-on engineering and leading the team — system design, reviews, pairing, coding, coaching.* Collaborate with other engineers and product owners to gather requir
