ENGINEERING MANAGER - DATA INTELLIGENCE

ABOUT TRAWA

European energy costs are 2x compared to US and China. Electricity demand is expected to double by 2050. Market price volatility & complexity are here to stay. The backbone of Europe's industrial economy is at risk and companies need to act now.

trawa is building the solution: the first integrated B2B energy platform that orchestrates procurement, energy management, and flexibility steering in one product. Supply, Manage, and Flex combined. That integration unlocks up to 30% in recurring electricity cost savings, all while helping companies switch to renewable energy.

We're the fastest-growing B2B energy platform in Europe. Active in Germany and Austria now, and expanding operations to a third market in 2027. We're on the road to European scale and move fast, the market window is open and we intend to own it.

trawa is a scale-up based in Berlin with ~100 FTE, ~30 of whom work in Product & Tech. We've raised over €35M to date, including a €24M Series A in May 2025, backed by Balderton, Headline, Speedinvest, AENU, Magnetic, and Tiny VC. All three founders are on board and 100% committed to build the utility of the future

ABOUT THE ROLE

Data is the heartbeat of trawa. It is the foundation and lifeblood of our product, the core that unlocks the power of the energy markets for our customers, turning a complex challenge into a source of savings and sustainability.

This high-impact team builds and operates the utility backbone of our energy platform, combining expertise in data platforms, data engineering, and business intelligence.

You'll shape a team culture grounded in trust, collaboration, and continuous learning, creating an environment where engineers thrive and do their best work. Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you will lead an established and growing group of talented engineers.

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.
