Job description
Engineering Manager (all genders)
Company Overview
Are you ready to help shape the future of European e-mobility? Then chargecloud is the right place for you! Since our founding in 2016, we have been supporting companies of all sizes in operating their charging infrastructure. Our strong, diverse team of more than 250 employees makes it possible: a software-as-a-service solution that manages charging points and contract data and bills charging processes – across Europe, automated and infinitely scalable.
What you will do
- You lead several of our engineering teams - responsible for the people, the culture, and what the teams deliver.
- You are accountable for delivery: you translate strategy into measurable targets and course-correct when results fall short.
- You and your teams work on customer-facing products and the backend systems behind them.
- You work closely with Product and hold your teams to a quality bar rather than delegating it.
- You work with our Staff Engineers to keep architectural direction and delivery reality aligned.
- You establish transparent decision-making, mediate conflict, and resolve misalignment before it escalates.
Your profile
- You have proven experience leading and developing engineers.
- You have several years of experience in software development, including hands-on technical management — web-based solutions, API design, and server-client interactions.
- You bring solid backend experience and enough breadth to hold a design and architecture conversation with senior engineers - from infrastructure and platform topics through to customer-facing web and mobile.
- You are communicatively strong, decisive, and assertive, with excellent conflict-resolution skills, empathy, and a coaching approach.
- You have a solid understanding of agile ways of working and the technical challenges of software development.
- You still build things yourself with AI - a prototype, a tool, an automation - and you intend to keep doing so as a manager.
- You are fluent in English; German is a plus.
Why us?
- Remote First: Whether you prefer working from home, using co-working spaces across Germany, or being in our modern headquarters in Cologne – we support all working styles.
- Well equipped: To make sure you have everything you need in your home office, we provide the appropriate hardware. After your probation period, you’ll also receive a budget for ergonomic home office equipment.
- Flexibility: You can organize your working hours flexibly. With a core working time from 9:00 to 12:00, you have plenty of freedom to balance work and personal life. With our Workation Worldwide program, you can work remotely for up to 60 days per year from anywhere within ±4 hours of the German time zone.
- Benefits à la carte: With Probonio, you can design your benefits anew every month: Use your budget for meal subsidies, childcare support, vouchers, or book your Urban Sports Club membership – all easily managed via app.
- Time Off & Recharge: You benefit from 32 days of paid vacation per year. In addition, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve are fully off. With our Culture Day, you can also take a day off that is personally important to you - intentionally and individually.
- Company-wide Bonus: Our Shared Success Plan strengthens a shared result orientation by transparently and fairly sharing company success with everyone.
- Mobility & sustainability: Through FINN JobAuto, you can lease your own electric vehicle at attractive conditions. You can also benefit from bike leasing.
- Team spirit: Our teams meet in person once per tertial for brainstorming, workshops, and of course for our much-loved summer and winter events.
- Healthy at work: We support you with Urban Sports Club, life coaching programs, and additional offerings to help you stay fit and stress-free in your daily work.
- Dog-Friendly Headquarters: Your four-legged friend is welcome in the office—bring your dog to work!
- And more: 20% contribution to your company pension plan, access to our attractive corporate benefits portal, and lots of fun – “Spark joy together” is one of our core company values for a reason.
