Descripción de la vacante

The French Sourcer is building orchestration software that coordinates solar panels, batteries, EVs, and heat pumps for energy suppliers. We are seeking a Product Engineer in Ghent to own end-to-end product development and work closely with customers.

You'll design and ship features across Python, TypeScript, SQL, and APIs, acting as the technical contact for clients during implementation and ongoing use. Join a small, fast-moving team shaping the energy grid.

Formación

• Proven track record shipping production software.
• Experience owning a feature or product area beyond coding.
• Strong software engineering background.

Responsabilidades

• Own product development from problem to release and iteration.
• Collaborate with customers to understand asset management needs.
• Decide what to build based on impact and effort.
• Build features across Python, TypeScript, SQL, APIs.
• Act as technical POC for clients during implementation.
• Improve reliability, observability, and production systems.

Product Engineer - Ghent

Ghent, Belgium · Full-time · Hybrid

What you'd actually work on

• Owning product development from the initial customer problem through design, implementation, release, and iteration
• Working directly with customers to understand how energy suppliers manage distributed energy assets
• Deciding what should be built based on customer impact, technical complexity, and delivery effort
• Building product features across Python, TypeScript, SQL, APIs, and data integrations
• Acting as the technical point of contact for one or more customers during implementation and ongoing use
• Turning recurring customer implementation requirements into reusable product capabilities
• Integrating solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles, heat pumps, and other distributed energy resources
• Building and maintaining real-time services used within operational energy environments
• Improving the correctness, resilience, observability, and availability of production systems
• Using AI and agentic development tools where they improve engineering speed or reduce repetitive work
• Reviewing AI-generated output and deciding when it is reliable enough for production
• Communicating product decisions, technical constraints, and delivery progress clearly
• Working directly with the founders in a small engineering and product team

Where it gets technically interesting

• Coordinating large numbers of distributed energy devices as a single operational system
• Integrating devices and external platforms with different APIs, data formats, and operating constraints
• Maintaining a reliable source of truth across real-time device and energy data
• Building software used to support grid stability and electricity cost optimisation
• Making product decisions when customer requirements, technical constraints, and energy-market rules intersect
• Turning customer-specific implementation work into maintainable product functionality
• Operating real-time systems where incorrect or delayed data can affect physical energy assets
• Using AI-assisted engineering without compromising architecture, correctness, security, or maintainability
• Keeping delivery fast while the product, customer base, and underlying platform continue to evolve

What we're looking for

• A strong software engineering background and a record of shipping production software
• Experience owning a feature or product area beyond implementation alone

  The company

  A Ghent-based energy technology start-up developing orchestration software for energy suppliers.

  Its platform connects decentralised energy assets, including solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles, and heat pumps, allowing them to be monitored and coordinated as one system. Energy suppliers use the platform to integrate and manage assets across their customer base.

  The company is growing its product and engineering capabilities as distributed energy places increasing operational demands on European electricity grids.

  • Competitive salary, hybrid working, a high level of autonomy, and regular collaboration from the company's Ghent headquarters.
