Company Description
Location: Copenhagen (on-site with hybrid flexibility)
Company: Coach Solutions ApS
Industry: Maritime SaaS | Data & Sustainability | High-Impact Tech
Help us shape the future of sustainable shipping.
At Coach Solutions, we build software that empowers the global shipping industry to work smarter, sail greener, and make data-driven decisions that matter — for both profit and sustainability. Backed by Kongsberg Maritime, we're entering a pivotal new phase, modernizing our architecture and scaling our impact.

We're now looking for a Head of Backend to lead and grow our backend development team in Copenhagen — someone who brings clarity, stability, and curiosity into a complex and evolving tech landscape.

What You'll Lead

  • A team of 10–12 skilled backend developers on-site in Copenhagen
  • The modernization of our platform
  • Architectural strategy and backend evolution aligned with business goals
  • A calm, focused, and learning-driven engineering culture
Your leadership scope includes
  • 1:1s, performance reviews, and development planning
  • Team forecasting, backlog management, and delivery follow-up
  • Architectural planning and end-state definition
  • Continuous process improvement and retrospectives
  • Ownership of our Azure setup, dev tools, and backend platform
  • Driving technical decisions and people development with equal care
What We're Looking For
You've likely held roles like Lead Developer, IT Architect, or Head of Development, and you:
  • Have hands-on experience with SaaS, .NET / C#, Docker and modern backend architecture
  • Bring a track record of leading developers through growth and transition
  • Balance long-term thinking with short-term delivery
  • Communicate clearly with both tech and business folks
  • Care deeply about people, learning, and impact
  • Thrive in environments where "the best idea wins" — not the title
The mindset that fits
You're steady under pressure, pragmatic in execution, open to change, and thoughtful in how you lead. You bring emotional maturity, technical depth, and a healthy sense of humor to the team. We're not just hiring a backend lead — we're looking for a culture-carrier and architecture partner.

What You Get
  • A purpose-driven workplace at the intersection of tech and sustainability
  • A flexible, informal work environment, we want to keep you for a long time
  • A social workplace with a respectful culture and a relaxed atmosphere where compassion beats noise
  • Support for your leadership growth initiatives
  • A team that values curiosity, autonomy, and psychological safety
  • Opportunity for self-development both personally and professionally
Ready to lead with clarity, care, and technical edge?
We'd love to meet you. Reach out and let's build something meaningful together.Seniority level
