Our mission at Qwello is to revolutionize the charging industry, we are committed to turn the world from combustion to electric. We design, build and operate charging infrastructure for the public space. We excel in simplicity, user focus and engineering excellence. We value diversity of thought, background and approaches and foster a culture of belonging. We understand that the best products are built by excellent teams, not individual superstars. Be part of shaping the E-mobility of the future!

To reach our goal we are looking for an Engineering Manager - reporting directly to the CTO - to lead our Backend team—someone who is deeply organized, technically competent, and focused on amplifying their team’s impact. You will ensure that the team delivers on stability and scaling goals of our backend, our CPO roaming services, our load balancing  and smart charging components, our custom integration into Odoo, as well as our data pipelines while maintaining clarity on priorities, structured execution, and effective outside–team communication. Your role is not to be a gatekeeper, but to enable and empower the team, ensuring their ideas and work translate into real-world impact.

As an Engineering Manager at Qwello you will play a key role in bridging product, engineering, and business needs. You will be responsible for structured planning, OKR execution, and ensuring the team’s work aligns with company goals. You will code - but just enough to understand the team’s decisions, trade-offs, and technical debt—allowing you to advocate for them with confidence when they are not in the room. You will own people management fully, conducting regular 1-on-1s, supporting career development, and ensuring the team has everything they need to be effective. Above all, you will be highly self-organized, ensuring that tasks do not get dropped unintentionally and that priorities remain clear.


Your Responsibilities 🚀
  • Communicate clearly with outside-team stakeholders, ensuring transparency about what the team is working on, what is being dropped, and why
  • Work with the Tech Lead to assess feasibility but take the lead on planning, prioritization, and execution. Don't make all the decisions, but ensure that decisions get made
  • Code enough to understand technical decisions, trade-offs, and technical debt—so you can advocate for the team and make informed decisions
  • Ensure the team is highly productive by removing blockers, clarifying priorities, and fostering a culture of accountability
  • Champion organization, execution, and follow-through, ensuring that nothing is unintentionally dropped. Live productivity principles like inbox zero and getting things done, maintaining a structured and efficient workflow


    • Your Profile ✨
  • Even more than your deep love for tech you have a deep love for your people
  • Proven experience as an Engineering Manager, Tech Lead (Staff-SWE or higher), or similar leadership role in software development; including having built software for real (complaining) customers before
  • Strong technical background — with enough coding experience to understand architectural trade-offs
  • Strong ability to translate technical work into clear communication for external stakeholders - and vice versa
  • A philosophy of leadership that amplifies the team rather than imposing personal preferences or gatekeeping
  • Knowledge of any of this tech  will help: Rust, Python, AWS Infra, Terraform, OpenObserve, Observability (we use Honeycomb)
  • A plus is having experience in roaming in EV Charger, having worked with OCPI and/or OCIP before
  • A plus is having experience working in Odoo - or integrating with other ERP systems
  • Fluency in English; German is a plus


    • Your Benefits 🪴
  • Flat hierarchies with an efficient decision-making processes without red tape
  • The opportunity to play a key role in shaping the mobility revolution
  • Be part of an international and dynamic team of more than 30 nationalities
  • Enjoy a remote-friendly environment with flexible options, you choose whether to work entirely from home, in one of our offices or a mix that suits you and you have the possibility of workation within the EU, plus 30 vacation days
  • Regular company and team events outside of the office to disconnect from our computers and reconnect with colleagues on hikes, mountain e-bike tours, offsites and more
  • Personal and professional development through in-house lunch & learn sessions, collaborative coding challenge discussions, as well as externally provided training, courses and conferences


    • Equal Opportunities:
    We strive to eliminate discrimination,  remove barriers and ensure equal opportunity through a transparent recruitment process. We are fully committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful work environment where everyone can succeed.  At Qwello everyone is welcomed regardless of cultural background, creed, race, sexual orientation, colour or  gender expression.
