QUALIFICATIONS - 5–7+ years of software engineering experience (mid to senior level). - Strong background in backend systems, platform engineering, or internal developer platforms. - Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js (JavaScript ecosystem). - Solid understanding of modern AI system design, including agentic architectures vs. chains, tool use and function calling, and orchestration patterns. - Experience in LLM APIs (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek) and AI infrastructure. - Experience building observability, logging, tracing, and evaluation systems. - Strong focus on reliability, determinism, and production-grade engineering. - Experience building APIs and integrating complex systems. - Familiarity with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar). - Strong commitment to clean, testable, and scalable code. - (Senior level) Experience mentoring engineers and driving technical decisions. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - Join Germany’s leading green unicorn and help shape the energy transition. - Work in a diverse team of 65+ nationalities united by one mission. - Hybrid work model: office or remote — your choice. - Our Berlin HQ offers a fully equipped startup environment (rooftop, gym, lounges, events). - Structured onboarding, including a welcome session with our founder. - Regular company updates, technical deep dives, and knowledge sharing sessions. - Strong team culture, ownership mindset, and frequent team events. - A strong feedback culture that values continuous improvement.
