Lead Software Engineer

We're looking for a Lead Software Engineer who will shape the technical direction of one of our Cloud SaaS teams. You’ll act as the technical architect ensuring our platform is performant, secure, and maintainable.

Who are we 

BIMcollab has been supplying the architecture and construction industries with BIM (Building Information Modeling) software since 1992, from design software to tools for model checking, issue management and document management. With BIMcollab, our flagship product suite, we are the market leader in BIM quality control with modelchecking and issuemanagement, stimulating BIM-based collaboration throughout the whole lifecycle of buildings or infrastructure. Our platform enables users to create and use a Digital Twin that becomes the single source of truth, from design and construction to management and maintenance.  

We empower users to create and maintain high-quality buildings that are circular, energy efficient, and offer a safe environment. We shape the construction industry by facilitating an integrated BIM process with fast, innovative, and user-friendly solutions that integrate with all popular BIM tools. Through high-quality, service-oriented support we let our users experience the power and joy of a smooth BIM process. 

We are a firm believer in the circular economy and are an advocate of circular construction. Our software solutions contribute to the responsible use of our scarce resources. Enabling more sustainable decisions to be made from design to construction and then repurpose these materials during demolition. In our internal operations, we strive to be CO2 neutral. For example, the headquarters is virtually carbon-neutral and KUBUS offsets all CO2 emissions by planting new trees in cooperation with Trees For All, of which we are a forest partner.  

Your team 

As part of our mission to drive model-based collaboration across the entire lifecycle of building projects, this team develops BIMcollab’s document management capabilities. Customers use these features every day to manage project documentation, models, and the workflows around them. It’s a central part of the product and plays an important role in how project teams collaborate.

The team owns a mature part of the platform that continues to grow. You’ll work on new functionality while also improving and simplifying existing code where it makes sense. Some parts have been around for a while, and we’re looking for someone who enjoys making them easier to understand, maintain, and extend.

About your role 

As a Lead Software Engineer, you’ll play a key role in the technical direction of the team. You’ll take ownership of important parts of both the backend and frontend, helping us simplify and modernize the codebase where it makes sense.

At the same time, you’ll not only be thinking about architecture. We expect our Lead Engineers to stay hands-on: writing code, reviewing pull requests, helping teammates with technical challenges, and leading by example. You’ll help the team make sound technical decisions, balancing long-term improvements with the day-to-day work of delivering features our customers use.

In this role, you’ll mentor engineers, review designs, and set engineering standards. You’ll work closely with your Engineering Manager (focused on “who and when”) and Product Manager (focused on product priorities and vision) to ensure the right things are built the right way. Our current stack includes .NET-based services, Azure integrations, and a Vue-based front end—with room for refinement.

Key responsibilities 

• Technical Leadership: Define architectural direction and maintain coding best practices for backend services, cloud integrations, and frontend applications. 

• Collaboration: Align with Product Management to transform business requirements into workable technical solutions. 

• Hands-On Development: Write efficient, maintainable code and lead by example. 

• Quality Assurance: Oversee testing strategies using, guiding the team toward continuous improvement. 

• Lead & Mentor the Team: Provide technical leadership and guidance, to a team of engineers, fostering a collaborative and and fun environment. 

• Drive Innovation & Best Practices: Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends, introducing new tools and methodologies to advance our data capabilities. 

What will make you successful in this role 

A strong background in backend and cloud architecture (Azure experience is a pre, but not a necessity), combined with a genuine interest in modern frontend frameworks, will set you up for impact. You’ll excel if you can translate complex technical issues into clear action plans and motivate the team to reach ambitious goals.   

Collaboration and communication are a big part of this role. You enjoy partnering with teammates across different functions and teams to align on vision and execution. Your coding background means you’re comfortable getting hands-on when necessary, but you also keep the broader vision in mind.  

We especially value curiosity and a commitment to continuous learning. If you’re excited about staying on top of emerging technologies, experimenting with new solutions, and helping others on the team grow, you’ll thrive here. We know no one fits every bullet point perfectly, so if you see aspects of your experience or interests reflected here, we’d love to learn more about you!
