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.
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Data Intelligence team. This high-impact team builds and operates the utility backbone of our energy platform, combining expertise in data platforms, data engineering, and business intelligence.
