What is important for us
Reliability
We stand behind all our decisions and promise to do our best every day for our collaboration, our mutual success and our customers.
Transparency
Transparency allows us to communicate openly and clearly with each other and with our customers. Transparency is for us the basis of trust and motivation.
Curiosity
We want to create great things together and for that we have to think just as big. We are not just a startup, but rather a creatup. Thinking big – creating extraordinary.
Purposeful
We are courageous and open to new things. Perseverance and the will to get the best out of every situation and not to lose sight of the goal drive us.
That’s what our team say
Smartlane offers a familiar but international working atmosphere. We have flat hierarchies and relevant information from the different areas is communicated very openly. There are also regular activities outside of work, which means that you can also get to know your colleagues well in private. As a research engineer, I can develop new technologies and experiment a lot.
Maximiliane Rautenstrauss, Research Engineer
What excited me about Smartlane was the idea of really changing the transport industry in the long term by optimizing it and developing a meaningful, beneficial product. What matters most to me are the people I work with. People management in a startup is always exciting. The employees are all motivated, want to learn and grow with the company. A lot of things are happening at the same time and new challenges are constantly being added due to the growth. I insanely enjoy putting together a team that tackles tasks together and shapes Smartlane’s culture so intensely.
Christoph Jäckel, Head of People and Organization
Smartlane places a very high value on the well-being of its employees and is constantly trying to reflect itself and become better and better as an employer and for its employees. The people who work here are incredibly motivated, flexible and inquisitive, and are simply a pleasure to work with. As a senior people manager, it is an absolute enrichment to accompany our employees in their daily work, to look after them and to support them in word and deed in all HR topics.
Sabrina Eberwein, Senior People Managerin
We are changing one of the biggest industries in the world – this means working closely with great customers in exciting projects. But also includes doing the best work and having a lot of personal responsibility right from the start. As a Head of Marketing, I am always looking ahead and am looking forward not only to growing together with Smartlane, but also to accompanying our customers in their successes.
Lea Schmidt, Head of Marketing

Frequently asked questions
If you are not just a specialist in one area, you are welcome to apply for several positions at the same time.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at jobs@smartlane.ai. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
Even if we don’t have a suitable job at the moment, we are happy to receive an unsolicited application. Your unsolicited application will end up in our applicant pool and will be screened by Recruiting and forwarded to the appropriate departments. Simply state the areas of expertise in your cv and where you see yourself working in the future. If we can not offer a suitable position,we will store your application in our applicant pool and get in contact with you if there is a suitable job opening.
After we receive your application, we check it carefully and after a few days you will get the first feedback. You have been invited to an interview? Great, then you will have a first interview with our lovely Nina. In the second interview you will get to know the team and the team leader of your applied department. If this interview also went very well and you impressed them with your skills, you will get to know our founders in the third round and be able to convince them of your abilities.
If you apply for a “Head of” position, the recruiting process is not quite finished yet. In a final interview, you get to know our investors.
The best way to prepare yourself for an interview is to compare the requirements and skills with the job advertisement. If both matches, it is of course desirable and appreciated if the candidate informs himself about Smartlane and the industry and also finds out for himself what his expectations of Smartlane are. Since we would like to get to know you personally as well as possible during virtual conversations, test your equipment (microphone and camera) in advance. This means that nothing stands in the way of a smooth process with image and sound.
To help you get to know Smartlane and the different areas even better, we invite you to our onboarding sessions during the first days. In a total of six onboarding sessions, you will gain insights about Smartlane and the founders, HR/People, Marketing, Sales, Customer Solutions and Engineering. Of course, we would also like to get to know you on a personal level over lunch (lunch lotto) or a delicious cup of coffee.
Onboarding is the most important time to internalize the Smartlane culture, build your professional network, get to know your team and our product. That’s why we organize onboarding on-site whenever possible and encourage newcomers to spend their first days in the office. If it’s not possible to attend an in-person onboarding, we’ll make sure you’re well integrated into the virtual onboarding. We will send the hardware and your “Welcome Package” before your first day at work. During six virtual onboarding sessions you will have the opportunity to get to know our departments and the Smartlane culture.
Basically, you can say that there are three different working models available to you: You have a 100% remote contract, a hybrid contract (home office days are fixed) or a 100% office contract.
For us at Smartlane, it is extremely important that every single employee feels welcome. We offer several benefits for our team, for example, the flexibility we offer you, fitness support, but also the most modern equipment.
Continuous growth and further development are very important to us – also for our employees! For this purpose, we offer a generous training budget of € 1,500 per year, so that you can develop personally and professionally.
