Your mission

You will become the Engineering Manager of the Developer Platform Team, whose mission is to enable software delivery teams to move faster, enhance reliability, security and do so with greater satisfaction.

  • Represent and advocate for the Developer Platform team at leadership level

  • Closely liaise with the Technical Product Manager to build products that solve real user problems and have a measurable impact on the organization

  • Lead the development of a platform that abstracts away unnecessary complexity of infrastructure, observability and security, all while ensuring developers still understand the implications of their work

  • Continuously improve engineering processes, with a focus on automation, quality, and scalability

  • Tirelessly scrutinize and challenge current and target architectures, to arrive at the leanest, yet adequate software & infrastructure architecture for Developer Platform use cases

  • Help the team to stay focused on delivering high-impact solutions

  • Develop and communicate a strategic vision for the Developer Platform


Success indicators:

  • High team satisfaction scores and retention rates, along with reduced perceived stress

  • Improvement in team productivity metrics, such as velocity and cycle time,and consistent achievement of OKRs

  • Reduced communication bottlenecks and improved cross-team collaboration

  • Successful mentoring and career development of team members

  • Improved simplicity, reliability, scalability, and quality of platform offerings

Your profile
  • Proven experience as an Engineering Manager, Tech Lead, or similar role, with a focus on driving technical excellence and team productivity

  • Extensive experience in Platform Engineering, cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred), and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices

  • Proficient in at least one high-level programming language (e.g., Python, Go, TypeScript etc.)

  • Strong customer-centric mindset with a deep understanding of the importance of product thinking when enabling software delivery teams

  • Strong leadership and mentoring skills, with the ability to foster a collaborative and innovative team culture

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to advocate for technical decisions and investments at all levels of the organization

  • Very good knowledge of spoken and written English, German is a plus

Bonus points for:

  • Having worked in a scale-up environment at a company of similar size

  • Interest in the climate tech industry

Become part of a dynamic team dedicated to reshaping the energy landscape!

Benefits
  • You will be part of a young, dynamic and highly motivated team with people who have proven that they can make things happen and move companies forward

  • With your work, you support "energy and mobility transition" and make a concrete contribution to the sustainable transformation of our energy infrastructure

  • You are part of a fast growing company with a lot of development potential

  • You move in flat hierarchies and have direct contact with supervisors as well as short decision-making paths

  • You will be welcomed by a young, close-knit and fast-growing team with an exciting task ahead

  • You work remotely (Germany-wide), with offices in Hamburg, Berlin or Munich

  • You create a healthy balance alongside your work and enjoy all the benefits of the EGYM Wellpass
