AFC Technology

AFC Technology (AFC Tech) is responsible for designing, building, and operating the technology platforms that enable Deutsche Bank’s Anti‑Financial Crime (AFC) function. This includes delivering secure, resilient, and compliant solutions for transaction monitoring, case management, alerting, and data, while meeting regulatory expectations. AFC Tech partners closely with business, risk, and operations teams to reduce financial crime risk through scalable platforms, strong engineering standards, and continuous modernization.

You will join the AFC Technology organisation in Berlin as a Lead Full Stack Engineer (f/m/x) with a strong focus on UI and frontend architecture. You will co‑lead a UI Platform team responsible for building and evolving a shared frontend platform used across multiple AFC product teams.

This is a senior, hands‑on technical leadership role focused on creating scalable UI foundations rather than delivering a single product. While the role includes backend exposure (primarily Java), its primary focus is on modern frontend technologies. You will drive platform‑level frontend solutions, including Angular component libraries, design systems, Node.js build toolchains, micro frontends, performance, accessibility, and long‑term maintainability
