Engineering Team Lead / Manager (f/m/x)

PowerUs is building the LinkedIn for skilled blue-collar workers. We help workers like electricians or heating installers to create their online profiles, connect with other workers in our community, complete free education courses and find better jobs with higher salaries. On the other side, we help companies to hire workers faster so they can complete their projects, especially with a focus on renewable energy installations like solar and wind. Skilled blue-collar workers are the most important missing piece to solving the energy transition to renewable energies. By using our platform, users can go into these new and exciting industries while earning up to 50% more. Since our founding, we have been supported by tier-1 investors like General Catalyst, Y Combinator and HV Capital as well as successful business angels like Max Viessmann, the founders of Personio and Mario G tze. In total, we have raised $12m of venture capital. To grow even faster, we are looking for a Chief of Staff to help us take PowerUs to the next level.

In order to be able to grow even faster, we are looking for the Engineering Team Lead to help us to carry PowerUs to the next level.
