If you've worked in a role where you shaped platform strategy, influenced architecture across multiple teams, and drove adoption of shared engineering capabilities, you'll feel at home here. What matters most is your ability to connect long-term direction with practical outcomes and create alignment across a broad technology landscape.

Life on the team

You'll have opportunities to support organizational change, coach engineers, and help grow technical capability through mentoring and collaboration.

This position will be in our LEGO® Hub in Copenhagen, soon moving to Postbyen. The work environment is exciting, inspiring, and flexible - and we like to have fun along the way!

What success looks like

Success means becoming a trusted partner to Principal Engineers, Lead Engineers, Engineering Directors, and product teams. You'll help reduce architectural fragmentation, create clear technical roadmaps, and strengthen alignment across capabilities. Over the next 12 to 18 months, you'll contribute to expanding developer experience capabilities, advancing GenAI enablement, improving workflow automation, standardizing engineering practices, and increasing platform adoption across the organization.
