Job Level
About the role
- You are responsible for the “Core Reliability & Connectivity” roadmap and act as the primary interface between our engineering team and business stakeholders to ensure our platform remains industrial-grade while delivering scalable value.
- You translate complex technical challenges (e.g. refactoring, security, protocol updates) into tangible business value and incorporate them into the official roadmap.
- You work closely with the Lead Software Architect and the Agile Delivery Lead to specify requirements for high-tech features (e.g. OPC UA, MQTT, container architecture).
- You restore alignment between Product and Engineering by moving, together with the Agile Delivery Lead, from a “pull-when-ready” approach to a reliable planning routine.
- You balance “feature hype” and “technical debt” to sustainably ensure platform stability.
- You take full ownership of the technical backlog and ensure the engineering team works on the agreed priorities.
Requirements
- Technical background (mandatory): Degree in computer science or equivalent qualification, or several years of experience as a developer or solution architect.
- Solid understanding of APIs, Docker, Kubernetes, and software and system architectures.
- Professional experience: At least 5 years in product management for B2B software solutions, ideally in Industrial IoT, edge computing, or cloud infrastructure.
- Domain knowledge: Familiarity with industrial protocols such as OPC UA, Modbus and S7 as well as message brokers like MQTT or Kafka.
- Mindset and working style: Ability to critically challenge technical decisions at the engineering level while ensuring a constructive, collaborative partnership.
- Language skills: Very good German language skills (at least C1 level) are mandatory. Fluent written and spoken English.
- Bonus: Cloud and integration expertise, e.g. experience with the Azure Marketplace and cloud integrations.
- IT security knowledge: Basic understanding of cyber security, particularly with regard to IEC 62443.
- Transformation experience: Experience evolving “waterfall” or “pull”-based working models into agile ways of working and processes.
Benefits
- We are a company with flat hierarchies and plenty of freedom for independent decisions and your own area of responsibility.
- Diversity, mutual appreciation and a strong sense of togetherness are essential to us.
- We grow together and treat each other as equals.
- We offer an engaging and varied role where you can make things happen without excessive bureaucracy.
- A strong sense of community and regular team events.
- Ongoing professional development tailored to your skills and interests.
- A workplace with a feel-good atmosphere: including a professional coffee machine, sweet snacks and fresh fruit, as well as an after-work soft drink or beer.
- Reliable work–life balance with flexible working hours, 30 days of vacation per year and a one-time additional leave entitlement of 10, 15 or 20 days after 3, 4 or 5 years of service.
- Flexible vacation days: Use up to 5 of your 30 vacation days as flexible leave, either for a longer break or for financial benefits.
- Up to EUR 100 subsidy for childcare costs per preschool child.
- Monthly allowance of EUR 50 for food, sports, bike leasing or public transport.
- Attractive retirement provision including a subsidized direct insurance plan and a fully funded support fund.
