ABOUT THE ROLE This is a backend engineering role on the core infrastructure team of an early-stage energy tech company building the foundational layer for next-generation dynamic electricity plans. You'll work on a modular billing engine, low-level energy-market communication protocols, and a full accounting ledger — systems that need to be both highly reliable and infinitely scalable. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Design systems that tame complexity at the architectural level, not just the code level. - Scale core infrastructure to handle dynamic billing, energy trading integrations, and real-time data flows. - Take decisive action in ambiguous situations, shipping thoughtful solutions without waiting for perfect information. - Continuously raise the quality bar across the codebase, technical processes, and team practices. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 3–10+ years of backend development experience with TypeScript (Node.js) and a strong grasp of asynchronous programming. - Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL and an ORM (e.g. Drizzle) for data access patterns. - Familiarity with Next.js for backend services — API routes or server components. - Working knowledge of distributed systems concepts and how to design scalable, maintainable services. - Experience integrating Stripe payments and building billing flows end-to-end. - Strong CS fundamentals — formal degree or equivalent practical experience. - Clear written and verbal communication, an ownership mindset, and comfort operating in a fast-paced, early-stage environment. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS - Salary: €80,000 – €120,000 per year - Visa sponsorship: Available LOCATION On-site in Berlin, Germany. This role requires regular in-person presence at the Berlin office.
