Full Job Description
📋 Description
- • A fast-moving, early-stage startup building an enterprise-grade AI platform for industrial energy procurement and cost optimization is looking for a Founding Product Engineer to join as one of the first engineers on the team.
- • This is a high-ownership, high-impact role where you'll work directly with founders and customers to shape the product from the ground up.
- • The platform is data-intensive and technically deep — spanning time-series forecasting, linear optimization, real-time market data, and complex decision-support UIs for industrial energy buyers.
- • You'll have meaningful input into the tech stack and product direction from day one.
- • You'll own the full product lifecycle from design through deployment.
- • You'll translate product objectives into concrete requirements through close collaboration with customers.
- • You'll design simple, iterative solutions to complex energy procurement and optimization problems.
- • You'll build performant backend services for a data-intensive application.
- • You'll develop intuitive, elegant frontend UIs for complex decision-support workflows.
- • You'll train time-series forecasting models for power consumption and renewables production.
- • You'll develop linear optimization algorithms that reduce customer energy costs.
- • You'll help choose and evolve the core tech stack (PostgreSQL, TypeScript, React, Python).
🎯 Requirements
- • 2+ years of software engineering experience delivering scalable web applications, ideally in an early-stage startup environment.
- • Proven ability to deliver full product features independently in close collaboration with customers.
- • Strong fundamentals for building robust, maintainable, and scalable full-stack web applications.
- • Experience building backend services for data-intensive applications.
- • Experience building frontend UIs for complex, data-rich decision-support systems.
- • A genuine product mindset — you think about outcomes, not just output.
- • Comfort with ambiguity and a high-ownership, fast-paced startup culture.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Salary: €85,000 – €140,000 annually, depending on experience.
- • Early-stage equity opportunity.
- • Direct influence over product, architecture, and company direction.
- • Work closely with an experienced founding team at the intersection of AI and the energy transition.
