Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • This is a founding engineering hire at an early-stage, AI-powered platform built for industrial energy procurement and cost optimisation.
  • • You'll join a small, high-conviction team and take genuine ownership — from shaping the architecture to shipping features directly with customers.
  • • The platform handles real-time energy market data, forecasting, portfolio management, and optimisation at enterprise scale.
  • • If you're a generalist engineer with a strong product mindset, comfort with ambiguity, and a curiosity for data-intensive domains, this role is a rare opportunity to have outsized impact from day one.
  • • Note: Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
  • • Own the full product lifecycle — from design and requirements through to deployment and iteration.
  • • Translate product objectives into clear, actionable requirements in close collaboration with customers.
  • • Design simple, iterative solutions to complex energy procurement and market problems.
  • • Build performant backend services for a highly data-intensive application.
  • • Develop intuitive, elegant user interfaces for a sophisticated decision-support system.
  • • Train time-series forecasting models for power consumption and renewables production.
  • • Develop and refine linear optimisation algorithms to reduce customer energy costs.
  • • Help define and evolve the core tech stack — including PostgreSQL, TypeScript, React, and Python.

🎯 Requirements

  • • 2+ years of software engineering experience delivering scalable web applications in an early-stage startup environment.
  • • Proven track record of delivering full product features independently, working directly with customers.
  • • Strong software engineering fundamentals — you write robust, maintainable, scalable code.

🏖️ Benefits

  • • Salary: €85,000 – €140,000 per year, depending on experience.
  • • Meaningful early-stage equity participation.
  • • Direct influence over product direction, tech stack, and company culture.
  • • A lean, high-calibre team working on a complex, high-stakes problem in the European energy transition.
