Technical Product Manager — Platform

Technical Product Manager — Platform Munich Full-Time €75,000–€95,000 per year Reports to Head of Engineering Apply now Summary We’re looking for a Technical Product Manager to own HeyCharge’s core platform — the system that delivers charger access via cryptographic tokens carried by users running our mobile app, and the full vertical stack behind it: backend services, mobile SDK, and the chargers themselves. It’s the patented offline-first technology that makes SecureCharge possible, and it’s the product surface that every other HeyCharge product plugs into. The platform ships in two shapes, and you own both. First, as a standalone embedded product for charger OEMs and CPOs who want to run our technology in white-label form — they take the SDK, integrate our auth model, and ship their hardware with HeyCharge’s offline-capable platform inside. Second, as a turnkey CPMS — mobile apps plus backend — for CPOs who want a “just works” product under the HeyCharge brand. Your day-1 stakeholder is our internal CPO division (HeyCharge-Operated): they are your first and most demanding customer, and the platform you build for them is what we generalize for everyone else. About HeyCharge HeyCharge makes EV charging work in places it was never supposed to — underground garages, multi-tenant buildings, and any other concrete-and-rebar environment where cellular signal goes to die. Our offline-first SecureCharge platform uses Bluetooth for local session authentication and Zigbee mesh for inter-charger load management and cloud sync. No internet required at the charger; no compromise on reliability or billing accuracy. We’re Munich-headquartered with team members across Germany, Ukraine, and the US, selling into property managers, utilities, and OEMs across Europe, the US, and Latin America. Our partners include Vonovia (Europe’s largest residential landlord), Easee and Emobi. We’re backed by Y Combinator and EU innovation funding, with a culture that’s Google-rooted on engineering, AI-first and automation-first on operations, and allergic to bureaucracy that doesn’t earn its keep. Responsibilities Platform roadmap. Own the product roadmap across the full vertical — backend services, mobile SDK, charger-side firmware product surface — and the productized forms it ships in (embedded SDK + turnkey CPMS). HeyCharge-Operated as customer. Treat our internal CPO division as your first customer. Sit with them. Understand what slows them down. Build the platform that lets them deliver charging-as-a-service at scale. External productization. Define the embedded white-label SDK product for OEM and CPO partners — packaging, integration surface, support model. Define the turnkey CPMS product for CPOs who want our brand and our operations. API and SDK design. Own the developer-facing surface — how the SDK gets integrated, what the mobile and backend APIs expose, how documentation reads. The developer experience is product. Cross-stack shipping. Partner with the Head of Engineering, backend, mobile, and embedded teams to ship integrated platform releases. Hold the line on scope, sequence, and what gets cut. External technical inputs. Translate requirements from OEM and CPO partners (and from the OCPP and charging-protocol ecosystem) into concrete product decisions. Energy partnership. Partner closely with our Technical Product Manager — Energy Services to make the platform a fit substrate for energy features (V2G/V2H, demand response, dynamic tariffs) that span SecureCharge Module, CONNECT, mobile, SDK, backend, and web. Qualifications 5+ years in technical product management, with at least 2-3 owning a developer-facing platform, SDK, or API product. Strong technical fluency across at least two of: backend services, mobile (iOS / Android), embedded firmware. You can read a protocol spec, an API definition, and a mobile SDK header without panicking. Demonstrated experience designing products that serve both internal customers (an ops team, a service business) and external customers (developers, partners, OEMs) — and managing the tension between
