The posting

ABOUT CODESPHERE

Codesphere is a Virtual Cloud Provider from Germany building the future of sovereign cloud infrastructure. Our platform gives enterprises and governments full sovereignty without giving up modern cloud capability – a vision recently validated by a series of multi-million European government tenders.

Since our founding in Karlsruhe in 2020, we’ve expanded into an international team of 60+ experts. Based in Karlsruhe and Munich and backed by top-tier investors, we are chasing a bold vision.

We’re scaling fast and would love for you to join us and grow alongside us 🚀

ABOUT THE ROLE

Codesphere is entering complex, high-stakes regulated markets where winning a tender requires much more than project management. As our Technical Bid Manager, you own the end-to-end bid process and actively shape the proposal itself – translating complex requirements into a clear response strategy and turning technical expertise into a compelling, compliant, and credible offer.

This is not a coordination role. You understand the scope in depth, challenge requirements, develop solution concepts, and write substantial parts of the proposal yourself.

WHAT YOU'LL DRIVE

- You own the complete tender lifecycle – from qualification and bid strategy through proposal development, submission, clarification rounds, and handover after award

- You analyse tender documents and translate technical, commercial, contractual, and compliance requirements into a structured response and execution plan

- You identify gaps against our product capabilities and work with Product and Engineering on viable solution approaches

- You develop key parts of the proposal yourself – executive summaries, solution descriptions, implementation approaches, and responses to evaluation criteria

- You turn complex topics around cloud platforms, PaaS, Kubernetes, security, and digital sovereignty into precise and convincing tender responses

- You coordinate and challenge contributions from Product, Engineering, Legal, Finance, and external partners to ensure one consistent, complete proposal

- You build reusable templates and evidence libraries, and feed recurring market requirements back into Product Strategy

WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT FIT

- Experience with complex B2B, enterprise, or public-sector tenders, solution design, or technical proposals in software, cloud, or platform environments

- Strong technical background – able to work effectively with engineers, architects, and product teams and hold your own in deeply technical discussions

- Solid understanding of cloud concepts: SaaS/PaaS/IaaS, Kubernetes, DevOps, CI/CD, managed services, IAM, and security

- Exceptional writing skills – able to create concise, precise, and persuasive content from complex and sometimes incomplete source material

- Highly organized under hard deadlines, with the ability to maintain a clear view of the overall solution and bid strategy

- Confident stakeholder management – you challenge senior leaders and subject-matter experts when contributions are incomplete

- Fluent in German and English

- Based near Karlsruhe or Munich, comfortable with a hybrid setup

WHAT YOU'LL TELL PEOPLE YOU ARE PART OF

- You'll work on tenders that shape infrastructure powering some of Europe's most critical institutions – from the German Federal Government to leading enterprises.

- We're proving European technology can outperform US hyperscalers – and you'll be part of that proof.

- You’ll join early enough to shape a category that didn't exist before, late enough to know it's real.

…ON TOP OF THAT

- 32 days of paid time off – 30 regular vacation days plus Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve off

- Meal allowance – up to 15 digital vouchers per month, adding up to over €100 net for you

- Flexibility – hybrid work setup with mobile work options and flexibility around core hours

- Steep learning curve – fast-moving environment, real ownership, and a front-row seat to scaling a company

- Job-Rad – lease a bike through us, tax-free

- Gym access – stay active on site (Karlsruhe office only)

- Employee events – from team offsites to regular get-togethers

- Company pension scheme – company-supported pension to set you up for later

- Great public transport links – both offices are within walking distance of tram and metro stops

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
