About the Role
This is a core infrastructure role at a pre-seed energy technology company building the foundational systems that power dynamic electricity plans, billing, and energy-market integrations across Europe. You will work directly on a modular billing engine, low-level energy-market communication protocols, and a full accounting ledger, helping design and scale systems that need to be both highly reliable and deeply extensible.
What You'll Do
-
Design systems that tame complexity, making hard infrastructure problems approachable and maintainable at scale.
-
Scale core backend services to handle the demands of a growing energy platform serving OEMs, installers, and end consumers.
-
Ship production code consistently, taking full ownership from design through deployment.
-
Raise engineering standards across the team through code review, architecture decisions, and a high personal bar for quality.
What We're Looking For
-
At least 3 years of hands-on experience building and shipping reliable backend infrastructure in production environments.
-
Proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js, with a strong understanding of asynchronous programming patterns.
-
Experience with PostgreSQL and ORM-based data access (Drizzle or similar).
-
Experience building backend services with Next.js, including API routes or server components.
-
Familiarity with distributed systems concepts and an instinct for designing scalable, maintainable services.
-
Experience integrating payment systems such as Stripe and handling complex billing flows.
-
Strong computer science fundamentals, whether through a formal degree or equivalent practical experience.
-
A track record of technical exceptionality, demonstrated through standout projects, competitive programming, research, founding work, or a comparable signal.
-
Broad application-building experience rather than a narrow specialization in data pipelines, AI infrastructure, or similar niches.
-
Strong written and verbal communication, with a clear ownership mindset and comfort operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.
Compensation & Benefits
-
Salary: 80,000 to 120,000 EUR annually
-
Visa sponsorship: available
