Role
Who you are
- You have at least two years of experience in a technical leadership role with people management responsibilities, ideally gained in a fast‑moving startup environment. You know how to balance team growth with delivery and create an environment where engineers do their best work
- Hands-on knowledge from one of the following domains: SRE, DevOps, Platform, Data, or Software Engineering
- You bring deep experience in cloud engineering on AWS, working with infrastructure as code, cloud‑native patterns, and containerised systems. You’ve built or led large‑scale distributed services, with a strong grasp of security, reliability, observability, and cost efficiency in modern cloud environments
- Clear communicator who builds trust and fosters collaboration across teams
- Inclusive leader who creates an environment where engineers of diverse backgrounds and experiences can thrive
- Nice to have: familiarity with compliance standards (e.g. ISO 27001, SOC 2) or experience operating in a regulated environment
- Don’t meet every single requirement? We still encourage you to apply!
What the job involves
- We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Platform team in designing, building, and running the core of trawa's technology ecosystem
- You'll shape a team culture grounded in trust, collaboration, and continuous learning, creating an environment where engineers thrive and do their best work
- Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you will lead an established and growing team of talented engineers who own the infrastructure and cloud platforms that power our services, enabling our data pipelines and applications to run reliably at scale
- This role is based in Berlin, with the option to balance remote work with regular in-office attendance
- You'll drive the evolution of three key areas:
- Scalable, secure infrastructure on AWS that powers our mission-critical services and data systems with high availability
- Enabling engineering teams through great developer experience: CI/CD pipelines, observability tooling, and internal platforms that help teams ship faster and with confidence
- Operational excellence through automation, compliance, and well-managed incident response
Our take
The global demand for renewable electricity is skyrocketing, reflecting the new commitments that are necessary for cutting down carbon emissions. While most companies, including smaller ones, are seeking access to renewable energy, as it stands sustainable energy is only accessible to companies with larger financial means.
Berlin-based Trawa is looking to challenge this narrative by building a digital, data-driven energy provider that helps businesses decarbonise their electricity consumption. With a particular focus on SMEs in the manufacturing and processing sectors, Trawa is enabling companies to make the switch to green electricity and join a growing circle of enterprises committed to the future of sustainability.
The startup has secured substantial funding over the years that will help accelerate its growth. While Trawa is still relatively new to the scene, it's making waves in its mission to revolutionise renewable energy and looks set for a bright future.
