Job Description
About The Role
Join a pre-seed-funded energy tech startup that is building the operating system for the next generation of energy. The core infrastructure team is developing a modular billing engine, low-level energy-market communication protocols, and a full accounting ledger — enabling dynamic electricity plans and reliable billing for hardware OEMs, installers, and energy providers across Europe. As a Backend Engineer, you will help shape scalable, maintainable systems at the heart of this platform.
What You'll Do
- Solve complex infrastructure and domain challenges through thoughtful system design.
- Scale core backend services to support growing energy platform workloads.
- Move quickly and take ownership — bias for action in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
- Raise the engineering bar through code quality, architecture decisions, and collaborative standards.
- Build and maintain API routes and server-side services using TypeScript (Node.js) and Next.js.
- Work with PostgreSQL and Drizzle ORM for reliable, performant data access.
- Integrate and extend Stripe-based billing and payment flows.
