ABOUT THE ROLE We're a seed-stage deeptech startup accelerating the discovery of new materials through physics-informed AI, robotics, and real-world experimental data — with a focus on the energy sector and other critical industries. Our software is the coordination layer between scientific intent and physical execution, and we treat infrastructure as a first-class product. As a Software Engineer, Infrastructure, you'll build and maintain the systems that connect AI models, automated experiments, and robotic platforms. Your work directly shapes scientific outcomes — reliability, observability, and usability aren't afterthoughts here, they're core product priorities. This is an on-site role based in Berlin, Germany. Please note: visa sponsorship is not available for this position. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build backend services in Python (FastAPI, Pydantic) to orchestrate real scientific workflows. - Develop data pipelines that convert raw experimental output into actionable signals. - Create internal dashboards and interfaces (React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Streamlit) used daily by scientists and engineers. - Maintain containerized environments and CI/CD pipelines to keep systems running smoothly. - Improve observability so teams understand system state proactively — before users notice problems. - Drive reliability improvements grounded in real failure modes and production experience. - Support job orchestration and ML systems, including integration with SLURM-based simulation clusters. - Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams of scientists and engineers. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Required: - 2–5 years of software engineering experience with solid Python fundamentals. - Experience with containerized applications and foundational DevOps practices (CI/CD, Docker, etc.). - Comfort working across the stack and a willingness to dig into unfamiliar territory. - Excellent written and verbal communication skills — you'll work daily with both scientists and engineers. - A habit of writing clean, maintainable, well-documented code. - English fluency; additional languages are a plus. Nice to Have: - Exposure to scientific computing, ML infrastructure, or data-intensive systems. - Familiarity with SLURM or HPC environments. - Experience with React / TypeScript front-end development. - Background or strong interest in deeptech, cleantech, or materials science domains. LOCATION This is a full-time, on-site position based in Berlin, Germany. Candidates must be eligible to work in Germany without visa sponsorship. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Compensation details will be discussed during the interview process. You'll be joining a small, high-impact team at an early stage — with meaningful scope, close collaboration with scientists and technical leaders, and the opportunity to shape infrastructure that drives real-world discovery.
