Engineering Lead – User Experience Team (m/f/d)

Raisin is the world's leading platform for savings and investment products. Founded in 2012, the FinTech connects consumers with banks in the EU, the UK and the US. This gives consumers better interest rates and banks a diversified form of refinancing. Our vision is to offer savings and investments without barriers and thus open up the global 160 trillion euro market.

Raisin currently employs more than 800 people from over 75 countries worldwide. Today, the platform holds over 80 billion euros in assets from more than one million investors which have accrued over 5 billion euros in returns.

Team

The User Experience Team at Raisin is a dynamic cross-functional unit shaping the design and experience of core web platforms across markets. As a key contributor in this team, you'll take ownership of foundational domains such as our Design System, Web UI Library, and Public Website, ensuring consistent, accessible, and scalable user experiences. You'll also help drive the evolution of our Headless CMS and champion web accessibility standards across all touchpoints.

Beyond technical excellence, you'll play a central role in people development — mentoring peers, fostering a collaborative engineering culture, and supporting individual growth. We value team health as much as platform quality, and your leadership will be instrumental in both. If you're passionate about building inclusive web experiences and empowering those around you, the User Experience Team at Raisin offers the ideal space for impactful leadership.
