About the Role
This is a hands-on founding engineering role at an early-stage energy software startup building an end-to-end platform for industrial battery storage. You'll own both backend and frontend development, shaping the core product that drives real-time optimization and forecasting across a growing portfolio of energy assets. Your work will have direct impact on product direction and company trajectory.
What You'll Do
- Own and build the core product driving real-time optimization and forecasting for energy assets.
- Develop backend services and optimization algorithms to process operational data in real time.
- Create frontend dashboards for battery operators to monitor and control assets.
- Design and scale infrastructure to support thousands of battery systems.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to define product features and requirements.
- Deploy production-ready optimizations and iterate based on live deployment feedback.
What We're Looking For
- Full-stack engineering experience (2–6 years) building and shipping production applications.
- Startup experience at an early-stage company (under 3 years old and fewer than 50 employees).
- Strong frontend skills with JavaScript/TypeScript, React (Next.js preferred), and Tailwind CSS.
- Solid backend experience with Python, including mixed-integer optimization techniques.
- Hands-on experience with real-time data processing and optimization/forecasting systems.
- Experience designing and operating scalable distributed backend systems.
- Containerization and modern deployment practices (Docker/Kubernetes) with CI/CD pipelines.
- Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).
- Database design and data modeling experience (e.g., PostgreSQL/MySQL).
- Cloud infrastructure experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or Electrical Engineering with strong academic performance.
- Fluency in German is highly valued — most customers operate in German-speaking markets.
- Experience in the energy industry or deploying optimizations in production systems is a plus.
