About the role

About the Role

Join an early-stage energy technology team building an enterprise-grade platform for energy procurement and management. You will work closely with customers and the founding team to turn market data and energy market dynamics into practical, scalable products.

What You'll Do

  • Own product features from discovery and design through development and deployment.
  • Translate customer needs and product objectives into clear requirements.
  • Build performant backend services for a data-intensive application.
  • Create intuitive interfaces for complex energy decision-support workflows.
  • Develop time-series forecasts for power consumption and renewable generation.
  • Build linear optimization algorithms to help reduce energy costs.
  • Help shape the product and its technical foundations.

What We're Looking For

  • At least two years of software engineering experience delivering scalable web applications in an early-stage startup environment.
  • Experience independently shipping full product features in collaboration with customers, with ownership across full-stack or machine-learning product engineering.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience building maintainable, scalable applications, including frontend interfaces for complex decision-support systems and backend services for data-intensive products.
  • Fluent spoken and written German, and a product-minded, hands-on approach suited to an early-stage team.
  • Experience across frontend and backend development. PostgreSQL, React, and Python experience are relevant; TypeScript, FastAPI, and Supabase are useful.
  • Experience or strong interest in time-series forecasting and/or linear optimization, with curiosity about energy markets.
  • A strong career signal, such as a high-quality university education, experience at a high-growth startup, or equivalent accomplishments.
