Job Description

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.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: 70,000 to 100,000 EUR annually. Visa sponsorship is available.

On-site, five days per week in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.
