Team Lead Software Development - Industrial IoT & Fleet Operations (m/f/x)

Who we are

At Reverion, we’re on a mission to enable a decentralized, flexible, and carbon-negative energy system. And that’s what drives us every day. We are developing innovative, reversible power plants that can efficiently convert gases such as biogas or hydrogen into electricity and heat. When needed, the process can be reversed to transform renewable energy into storable green gases. With an efficiency of up to 80%, Reverion power plants are among the most efficient in the world. Sounds interesting? Then for the role of Team Lead Software Development - Industrial IoT & Fleet Operations (m/f/x) and become part of our team!

Your mission

As Team Lead Cloud Engineering (m/f/x), you are the driving force at the intersection of PLC systems and modern cloud infrastructure. You lead a team that connects our plants, makes real-time data actionable, and actively drives digital solutions like our Remote Plant Operation Cockpit.

1/ Fleet Management & Operations

• You own and shape the strategy for plant connectivity and secure remote access.
• You optimize deployment processes (CI/CD) for over-the-air (OTA) updates in the field.
• You ensure that our plants can be monitored and controlled at all times.

2/ Data Infrastructure

• You lead the design and operation of a highly available data infrastructure.
• You manage modern time-series databases (e.g., InfluxDB, ClickHouse ) and implement scalable streaming solutions (MQTT, Kafka ).
• You ensure real-time processing of sensor data in close collaboration with our Data Analytics & Digital Solutions team.

3/ Services & Core Libraries

• You drive the development of central services and libraries (data logging, alarming systems).
• You are responsible for monitoring IT resources and integrating the field level (e.g., via EtherCAT).
• You support our PLC developers as well as application and control engineers with software development and feature implementation where needed.

4/ Leadership & Strategy

• You lead and mentor a team of software developers, supporting both technical and personal growth.
• You shape the long-term vision for our software stack and translate business requirements into a clear technical roadmap.
• As the interface between operations, engineering, and data science, you prioritize requirements and translate them into a structured product backlog.

Your profile

• You hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
• You bring several years of hands‑on experience in software development with hardware integration (ideally in the energy sector or Industrial IoT).
• You've led development teams (at least technically) and thrive in agile project management (SCRUM) as well as precise requirements engineering.
• You are skilled in Python, C#, or Rust and have no fear of PLC systems (e.g., Beckhoff TwinCAT).
• You're a true generalist and act as a translator between cloud architects, DevOps engineers, and PLC programmers.
• You speak English fluently and German at a good level (minimum B1).
