Lead Product Manager Platform - Core Architecture

Our platform team is at a pivotal point: we're growing quickly, supporting more products, and expanding our reach. To support that scale, we're investing in a robust platform architecture that connects our internal systems like APIs, identity, usage data, billing, and provisioning.

As Lead Platform PM, you'll take on a strategic, cross-cutting role - owning the vision for how all teams build, connect, and extend backend capabilities. You'll work closely with senior engineers and leadership to shape the system's design and future-proof it for scale.

This is not just a PM role - it's a chance to act as the architect of how engineering works across RABOT Energy. Your influence will ripple across every product team and customer experience.

What You'll Do

• Own the platform vision: module design, API strategy, service boundaries
• Draft technical concepts and lead architecture conversations with backend engineers
• Define platform governance, standards, SDKs, documentation, and onboarding processes
• Evangelize platform usage to internal teams and act as internal product champion
• Track system adoption and performance; enable improvements and reporting

Do you have experience in Microservices?, * 5+ years in PM or Technical PM roles with strong platform or infrastructure focus

• Deep systems thinking; you can abstract complex backend domains
• Proven experience working closely with engineering teams to shape architecture
• Clear communicator who can align technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Data bias: define success with metrics like adoption, latency, and error rates
• Comfortable in iterative, fast-moving environments
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in a professional context in both English and German (C1)
• Being based in or willing to relocate to Hamburg for this role

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with microservices, service-oriented design, APIs, backend
• Background in energy tech, billing platforms, or internal enablement systems

Lacking experience in some of the areas mentioned? No need for concern - we are committed to providing you with the necessary support for learning, training, and on-the-job coaching
