Job Description

About us

Rabot Energy is an independent provider of dynamic electricity tariffs for households and businesses. With smart procurement strategies and automated control, we shift flexible consumption into hours with low exchange prices. That way, households and businesses optimise their electricity costs. Our vision is to give all customers the ability to steer their electricity consumption smartly and benefit from low-price exchange hours.

Why Now?

The energy market is going through its biggest shift in 50 years. We no longer just supply electricity, we make it intelligent. RABOT is growing triple digits, and our Small and Large Asset Squads are at the heart of it: they build the systems that connect and optimise large energy consumers like EVs, heat pumps, wallboxes, home storage and smart appliances in real time.

Both squads are growing, and we want one Engineering Manager who owns them end to end: delivery, technical health and, above all, the people. That is where you come in.

Your Mission

You lead the Small and Large Asset Squads as their Engineering Manager. Your job is to keep both squads shipping reliably, keep their architecture healthy and help every engineer grow.

In practice that means you run delivery for both squads (planning, dependency management, clear priorities) and work hand in hand with the Product Managers. You make sure the technical architecture stays healthy and sustainable as the squads scale. You manage team performance, enable the individual development of your engineers, hire new talent and continuously raise the bar on engineering and operational excellence. And you help your engineers get more leverage out of AI in how they build.

Your Results

We think in outcomes, not task lists. If you are successful, here is what that looks like:

Month 3 (ramp-up)

• You have onboarded to the squads' products, setup, tech and architecture, and to the people.
• You have identified the main challenges across both squads.
• You have taken over leadership for the engineers and built a trusted collaboration with the Product Managers.

Month 6 (performance)

• You have built a solid understanding of the business.
• You contribute to roadmap planning and technical strategy.
• You are established in the engineering leadership round and contribute to it actively.
• You drive major local improvement initiatives, for example better tooling and workflows that make Designers and Product Managers more effective.

Month 12 (scale)

• You contribute to and support overarching engineering initiatives beyond your own squads.

Who We Are Looking For

• People-first leader: You manage team performance, enable the individual development of your engineers and build trust quickly. Strong people and communication skills are non-negotiable for this role.
• Delivery manager: You keep two squads shipping reliably through clear planning, dependency management and priorities, in close alignment with Product.
• Technical steward: You ensure a healthy, sustainable technical architecture and make sound trade-offs, even when you are not writing most of the code yourself.
• Excellence driver: You continuously raise the bar on engineering and operational excellence and push improvement initiatives forward.
• Team builder: You hire strong engineers and grow the people you already have.
• AI enabler: You help your engineers increase their leverage of AI in how they build.

Nice to have: .NET experience and experience in the energy market.

What We Offer

• Ownership: You own two squads end to end and shape how they deliver, with real room to set the bar.
• Room to shape: A lot is still taking shape here, so you influence how we build instead of maintaining finished processes.
• Culture: Transparent collaboration. We celebrate mistakes as long as we learn from them.

Your Extras

• Employee discount on RABOT Energy electricity tariff
• Urban Sports Club partnership + Deutschlandticket
