Founding Engineer

About the Role

This is a founding-stage full-stack engineering role at an early-stage energy software company building an end-to-end platform for industrial battery storage. You will own core product across the entire stack, directly shaping both the technology and the company's trajectory. The work touches real-time optimization, AI-driven forecasting, and infrastructure that manages significant energy assets across Europe.

What You'll Do

• Own and build the core product driving real-time optimization and forecasting for industrial energy assets.
• Develop backend services and mixed-integer optimization algorithms to process data in real time.
• Create frontend dashboards that allow battery operators to monitor and control their assets.
• Design and scale cloud infrastructure to support thousands of battery systems.
• Collaborate across functions to define product features and translate deployment feedback into improvements.

What We're Looking For

• Up to five years of full-stack engineering experience, including production applications.
• Strong frontend skills with JavaScript/TypeScript, React (Next.js preferred), and Tailwind CSS.
• Solid backend experience with Python, including optimization or forecasting systems.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Background in a fast-paced startup environment (small team, early stage).
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or Electrical Engineering with strong academic results.
• Fluency or near-fluency in German, as the primary customer base is German-speaking.
• Experience deploying optimizations or real-time data processing systems in production is a strong plus.
• Prior exposure to the energy industry is a plus.
