Job Description


About The Role

This is a core infrastructure role at a pre-seed energy tech startup building the foundational systems that power dynamic electricity plans — including a modular billing engine, low-level energy-market communication protocols, and a full accounting ledger. You'll be a key contributor shaping scalable, reliable backend architecture at an early and critical stage of the company's growth.

What You'll Do

  • Design systems that tame complexity and make hard problems tractable at scale.
  • Build and scale core backend services that underpin dynamic electricity plans and billing infrastructure.
  • Move fast with a bias for action, shipping meaningful work in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment.
  • Set and uphold a high technical bar across the codebase and team.

What We're Looking For

  • 3–10+ years of backend engineering experience with strong proficiency in TypeScript (Node.js) and asynchronous programming.
  • Solid experience with PostgreSQL and an ORM (experience with Drizzle is a plus).
  • Familiarity with Next.js, including API routes or server components for backend services.
  • Understanding of distributed systems concepts and how to design scalable, maintainable services.
  • Hands-on experience integrating Stripe payments and billing flows.
  • Strong CS fundamentals — formal degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, a strong sense of ownership, and comfort operating in ambiguity.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: €80,000 – €120,000 per year. Visa sponsorship is available.
