Founding Product Engineer

About the Role

Join an early-stage energy technology team building an enterprise platform for energy procurement and cost optimization. You will work closely with customers and company leadership to turn complex market dynamics and data into practical product solutions.

What You'll Do

• Own features across the product lifecycle, from design through deployment.

• Work with customers to translate product objectives into clear requirements.

• Design iterative solutions to complex energy procurement and market challenges.

• Build performant backend services for a data-intensive application.

• Create intuitive interfaces for a complex decision-support system.

• Develop time-series forecasting models for power consumption and renewable generation.

• Build linear optimization algorithms to help reduce energy costs.

• Help shape the technology stack, including PostgreSQL, TypeScript, React, and Python.

What We're Looking For

• At least 2 years of software engineering experience delivering scalable web applications in an early-stage startup.

• Fluent spoken and written German, and a product engineering track record that includes independently delivering customer-facing features.

• Experience building both frontend interfaces for complex decision-support systems and backend services for data-intensive applications.

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and comfort working across frontend and backend domains.

• Experience with PostgreSQL, React, and Python is preferred; TypeScript, FastAPI, and Supabase are also relevant.

• Hands-on experience or strong interest in time-series forecasting and linear optimization, with curiosity about energy markets.

• Early-stage startup product ownership is important. A strong equivalent career signal, such as experience at a high-growth startup or a strong academic background, is valued.
