Team Lead - Invoices

Our agentic platform helps finance and operations teams worldwide remove manual work from their core business processes, so work runs end-to-end with greater control and significant productivity gains.

Today, over 550 enterprise customers use BLP across 1,300+ deployed projects. In the processes we automate, customers achieve productivity improvements of 5 to 10 times.

To date, BLP remains majority employee-owned, with Goldman Sachs holding a minority stake as a growth investor. Our success is driven by deep expertise in technology and business processes, a superior product with strong product-market fit, reflected in an expanding customer base that includes Fortune 500 companies.

BLP is one of Switzerland's fastest-growing SaaS scale-ups; we are now entering our next phase of growth. From our headquarters on Zürich's Bahnhofstrasse, we're expanding globally, with a growing presence across Europe and North America.

Join us and help make autonomous operations the new standard.

Invoices is BLP's largest product. Every day, it decides whether a supplier invoice can be posted to the customer's ERP without a human touching it. The invoice team builds and runs that product.

This is a leadership job with three parts that are equally important:

• →

  Run regular 1:1s, ensure growth of the engineers in your team, review progress, and make promotion and ranking decisions together with engineering leadership.

• →

  Coach and develop subteam leads, and set up the subteam structure as the team grows.

• →

  Keep a distributed team connected and productive: clear working agreements, transparent planning, and a culture where people raise problems early.

• Own hiring for the team end to end: define the profiles, screen candidates, run interviews, review coding challenges, and close offers together with Talent Acquisition.

• Keep a high bar while hiring at pace (our current target is around two new engineers per month), and make sure every new joiner has an onboarding plan and a buddy.

• Build the quarterly roadmap and run monthly planning with product owners and product management, prioritizing by customer impact, revenue, and strategic value.

• Balance enterprise go-lives, automation improvements, platform migration, developer experience, operations, and new products, and say no when something does not move the product forward.

• Escalate early and clearly when priorities conflict, and communicate decisions to the go-to-market organization.

• Take responsibility for the engineering side of large enterprise go-lives: requirements engineering, solution design, test and fix cycles, and go-live readiness.

• Work directly with project managers and, where needed, with customer stakeholders and their IT teams, and give clear, regular engineering updates.

• Close gaps in the product rather than per customer, so the next enterprise customer arrives on a platform that already handles their case.

• You have led an engineering team of 8+ people for at least two years, ideally in B2B SaaS, and you have grown a team through hiring rather than only inheriting one.

• You have a strong backend engineering background and can still read, review, and discuss production code and system design with senior engineers.

• You have hired many engineers yourself, you know what a high bar looks like, and you can run a structured interview process.

• You have delivered complex software for enterprise customers, including demanding go-lives, and you are comfortable in a room with customer stakeholders.

• You prioritize ruthlessly, communicate trade-offs clearly, and can hold a position with engineers, sales, and executives while keeping the relationship.

• You develop people: you give direct feedback, set measurable goals, and help engineers grow into leads.

• You take ownership, surface problems early, ask for help when you are stuck, and hold your team to the same standard.

• You are fluent in English. German is a strong plus, since many of our customers and colleagues are in the DACH region.

• A real mandate. You own the invoice team end to end: people, hiring, roadmap, and delivery.

• Impact you can measure. Automation rates and go-lives on our largest accounts are directly visible to customers and to the business.

• A strong team. Engineers from serious academic and industry backgrounds who care about doing the work well, with subteam leads already in place.

• A smooth handover. The current team lead moves into a new role in engineering leadership and stays available to support your start.

• Room to grow. As a fast-growing, global AI company, BLP keeps creating new leadership opportunities.
