About this role

ABOUT THE ROLE We're a pre-seed energy technology company on a mission to make energy free for European households. As a licensed electricity retailer, we build an AI-first, full-stack platform that enables hardware companies and energy providers to launch dynamic electricity plans — abstracting all legal and operational complexity into a clean API layer. We're looking for a product-focused engineer who sits at the intersection of customer discovery, end-to-end delivery, and engineering culture.

You'll own mission-critical problems for energy retailers and turn complex domain challenges into intuitive, production-grade experiences. This is an early-stage role with real ownership and outsized impact. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Sit with customers to dissect problems and develop product intuition that directly guides engineering decisions. - Ship end-to-end solutions across the full stack, taking features from discovery all the way to production.

- Leverage AI-native development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor) as force multipliers to accelerate delivery and increase your impact. - Own zero-to-one problems — such as dunning workflows, customer portal re-engineering, and billing engine improvements. - Prioritize and curate the roadmap: decide what to build, what to skip, and when to kill an initiative. - Solve core energy retail challenges including billing, procurement, retention, and cost optimization.

- Shape engineering culture, tooling, and processes, and help raise the bar as the team grows. - Adapt quickly to new tools and methods and bring the broader team along to the frontier. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Must-haves: - 2+ years of software engineering experience delivering full-stack, end-to-end products to production. - A demonstrated track record of shipping real product work — we assess what you've built, not just your résumé.

- Proven experience owning zero-to-one problems from discovery through to production. - Hands-on experience with AI-native codebases and AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor). - Strong full-stack capabilities and comfort owning end-to-end systems. - High ownership mindset with the ability to thrive in ambiguity and early-stage environments. Strongly preferred: - Experience solving billing, procurement, customer retention, or cost-optimization problems for an energy retailer or similar consumer-facing domain.

- Experience shaping engineering culture, tooling, and processes on a small or early-stage team. Nice to have: - Experience building or contributing to core products in high-engineering-bar environments or successful open-source projects. - Background in energy technology, smart hardware integrations (e.g., EVs, heat pumps), or European energy markets. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS - Salary: €80,000 – €120,000 per year, depending on experience.

- Early-stage equity opportunity on a mission-driven team. - Visa sponsorship: Not available — candidates must have the right to work in Germany. LOCATION This is a fully on-site role based in Berlin, Germany. We work together in person; remote-only arrangements are not available for this position.
