What You'll Do

  • Help shape the product and engineering stack, including PostgreSQL, TypeScript, React, and Python.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 2 years of software engineering experience building scalable web applications in an early-stage startup environment.
  • Experience independently delivering complete product features in collaboration with customers.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, with experience across backend services and frontend interfaces for complex decision-support systems.
  • Fluent spoken and written German.
  • Experience with PostgreSQL, React, and Python is valued; TypeScript, FastAPI, and Supabase experience is also useful.
  • Hands-on experience or strong interest in time-series forecasting and linear optimization, plus curiosity about energy markets and data-intensive business applications.
  • Evidence of strong fit for a founding product engineering role, such as early-stage startup experience or a generalist engineering background.
