On Lead Software Engineer - Finance Technology

As a Senior Engineer in the Finance cluster, you will architect and build the technological infrastructure that powers On’s global financial operations. You will play a pivotal role in transitioning our finance ecosystem toward a "North Star" architecture - moving away from legacy patterns toward a high-performance, event-driven landscape.

At On, we believe everyone in the world should have access to the best sportswear. For this to happen, we need high-performing, robust financial solutions that ensure our global growth is supported by accurate data, compliant processes, and efficient automation across all legal entities. By leveraging Kafka for real-time data streaming and NestJS for robust microservices, you will ensure our financial systems - from global tax compliance to automated bank integrations - are scalable, reliable, and future-proof.

Your Mission

• Architect for the North Star: Write well-tested, scalable code to migrate legacy tools to modern NestJS services.
• Event-Driven Finance: Build and operate streaming pipelines using Kafka to ensure financial data is consistent and available to other technology domains.
• ERP Integration: Deeply integrate D365 F&O with cloud-native applications to automate complex workflows.
• Operational Excellence: Drive the adoption of CI/CD best practices, specifically improving how we deploy and manage cloud resources via GitHub.
• Engineering Leadership: Partner with the Head of Engineering to split complex projects into small, logical units of work (User Stories and Subtasks) to maintain high velocity.

Your Story

• TypeScript Mastery: Extensive experience building backend services specifically with NestJS and Node.js.
• Streaming Expertise: Proven experience implementing Apache Kafka in production environments to handle high-throughput data.
• Logical Problem Solver: Proficient in leading technical discovery and breaking down "Big Bang" migrations into manageable, iterative releases.
• Cloud & DevOps Native: Strong track record with Kubernetes, Terraform, and automating deployments through GitHub Actions.
• Domain Curiosity: Technical experience with ERP systems (D365 F&O) and financial processes - such as Landed Cost, tax engines, or CNAB bank integrations - is a plus.
• Collaborative Partner: You communicate effectively with both technical peers and Finance stakeholders to translate business needs into architectural requirements.
