## Job description

## About Codesphere

Codesphere is a Virtual Cloud Provider from Germany building the future of sovereign cloud infrastructure. Our platform gives enterprises and governments full sovereignty without giving up modern cloud capability – a vision recently validated by a series of multi-million European government tenders. Since our founding in Karlsruhe in 2020, we’ve expanded into an international team of 60+ experts. Based in Karlsruhe and Munich and backed by top-tier investors, we are chasing a bold vision. We’re scaling fast and would love for you to join us and grow alongside us 🚀

## About the role

As our Product Manager for Deployments (m/f/d), you'll own a foundational layer of that platform: core runtimes, deployment technology, networking, and observability. This is not a coordination role – it's a role for someone who takes ownership, challenges assumptions, and turns ambiguity into shipping.

## What you'll drive

- You shape the strategy for our deployment and runtime technologies – grounded in market insight and deep customer discovery
- You lead the full product lifecycle: from PRD and user stories through to launch and iteration
- You work closely with Engineering, SRE, and Design to deliver high-quality, mission-critical features on time
- You act as the internal and external subject matter expert – supporting sales and marketing on go-to-market execution
- You track KPIs, run RCA loops, gather user feedback, and continuously push product-market fit forward

What makes you a great fit

- 3+ years in product management, ideally in SaaS, cloud, or developer tooling
- Deep understanding of cloud technologies – containers, Kubernetes, PaaS/IaaS, and developer workflows
- Proven track record of taking technical products from zero to launch
- Strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for different audiences
- Background in CS/Engineering or consulting is a plus
- German is preferred but not a hard requirement
- Based near Karlsruhe or Munich, comfortable with ~50% on-site presence

## What's in it for you

- 32 days of paid time off – 30 regular vacation days plus Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve off
- Meal allowance – up to 15 digital vouchers per month, adding up to over €100 net for you
- Flexibility – hybrid work setup with mobile work options and flexibility around core hours
- Steep learning curve – fast-moving environment, real ownership, and a front-row seat to scaling a company
- Job-Rad – lease a bike through us, tax-free
- Gym access – stay active on site (Karlsruhe office only)
- Employee events – from team offsites to regular get-togethers
- Company pension scheme – company-supported pension to set you up for later
- Great public transport links – both offices are within walking distance of tram and metro stops

## About Codesphere

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Codesphere provides a sovereign cloud platform that enables organizations to develop, deploy, and manage applications across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments with vendor independence.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A, $19.2M raised in 2024)
- **Headquarters**: Karlsruhe, Germany (with offices in Munich and New York)
- **Founded**: 2020
- **Founders**: Elias Schneider (CEO), Thomas Weyand (COO), Christophe Attias (CTO), Roman Frolov (Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Cloud Infrastructure, DevOps, Enterprise Software, Digital Sovereignty
- **Target customers**: Large enterprises, public sector institutions, banks, and regulated industries (B2B, Enterprise)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Empowering organizations to innovate faster while maintaining control" — enabling users of all skill levels to develop and manage complex software across all environments.

## Products & Services
- **The Virtual Cloud Platform**: A sovereign platform layer that decouples compute from runtime, standardizes network storage, and removes Docker complexity. It can be installed on any infrastructure (air-gapped, on-prem, cloud, hybrid) and includes patented cold-start deployment technology, zero-config autoscaling, self-service CI/CD, and managed services.
- **Deployment Technology**: Patented deployment algorithm that eliminates Kubernetes knowledge requirements, enabling teams to deploy anything from simple frontends to multi-service production landscapes and LLMs.
- **Workspaces & Integrations**: Developer-centric self-service environment for end-to-end infrastructure management.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Annual Revenue of $6.7M (estimated); Total Funding of $27.4M across 4 rounds
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Creandum (lead investor Series A), 42CAP, LEA Partners, Begin Capital, 468 Capital
- **Growth Signals**: 60+ team members (70 employees per LinkedIn, +23.2% YoY), 50k+ users, 99.99% uptime, 4+ offices across Germany and the US, operations in 9 countries, trusted by banks and public authorities, 10 active job postings (+900% YoY growth in postings)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vendor & Cloud Agnostic**: Decouples infrastructure from any specific provider — portable across on-prem, cloud, or hybrid, enabling easy switching.
- **Sovereign by Design**: EU-first, vendor-neutral, and can operate in air-gapped environments — critical for regulated industries like banking and public sector.
- **Patented Deployment Technology**: Eliminates the need for Kubernetes expertise, reducing operational complexity and the DevOps talent bottleneck.
- **Cost Reduction**: Claims 40-60% reduction in total cost of ownership across infrastructure, personnel, and licenses.

## Strategic Focus
- **Digital Sovereignty**: Capitalizing on growing regulatory and geopolitical risks (trade wars, supply chain disruptions) to offer infrastructure independence.
- **Regulated Industries**: Deepening presence in banking, public authorities, and other restricted verticals where compliance and security are paramount.
- **AI Workloads**: Enabling production AI workloads (including LLMs) on their platform, even in air-gapped environments.
- **Enterprise Adoption**: Scaling from mid-market to large enterprise, with a focus on migrating legacy infrastructure without specialized DevOps resources.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Mission**: Purpose-driven work focused on solving infrastructure dependency and digital sovereignty — a high-impact, meaningful challenge in European tech.
- **Growth Trajectory**: Rapidly scaling company (23% YoY headcount growth, 900% increase in job postings) offering career acceleration and ownership.
- **Engineering Excellence**: Strong engineering pedigree rooted in Baden-Württemberg, Germany's high-tech hub. Technical team makes up 31% of headcount. Focus on patented, novel technology (not just "cloud wrapping").
- **International & Diverse**: Team of 60+ people from 10+ nationalities across 9 countries. Offices in Karlsruhe (HQ), Munich, and New York.
- **Hybrid/Remote**: Multiple office locations with flexibility; strong German engineering culture with global reach.
- **Notable Perks**: Work on a patented deployment technology that genuinely differentiates in the market; opportunity to shape a product used by 50k+ users and large enterprises.
