Jobbeschreibung

Our mission for you

Join us to build the core behind flexibility trading

We're on a mission to unlock flexibility in the energy system. Our software enables businesses to shift and optimize energy usage in real time — from reducing peak demand to trading energy directly on the market. As Engineering Manager for Flexibility Trading, you will lead a very talented cross-functional team building the core of our energy trading stack: from predictive algorithms and optimization engines to secure and scalable backend services that automate market transactions.

You’ll lead and grow a team working at the intersection of machine learning, optimization, and cloud-native backend infrastructure — helping our customers actively participate in the energy transition.

Your Role

You will lead engineering efforts across three key areas:

Team Management

• Drive delivery of high-impact milestones through structured weekly processes

• Plan initiatives in alignment with product, backend and trading teams

• Actively unblock the team, enabling engineers to focus on what matters

• Foster a culture of technical ownership and continuous improvement

Architecture & Technical Leadership

• Guide architectural decisions and ensure long-term system health

• Maintain a high bar for engineering quality: test coverage, maintainability, documentation

• Collaborate closely with data scientists and backend engineers to integrate ML & optimization algorithms

• Own our backend architecture, balancing scalability with performance

Hands-on Implementation

• Contribute to important but non-urgent feature development

• Improve developer experience, tooling and technical hygiene

• Jump into backend and infrastructure challenges when needed

Our Stack

• Languages: Python (primary), TypeScript

• Infra: AWS, Terraform, GitHub Actions, Airflow

• Data/ML: Pandera, ML & Optimization frameworks

Who we are looking for

What We’re Looking For

• 2-3+ years of engineering leadership with a track record of leading strong teams

• Strong technical background in Python backend engineering and cloud infrastructure

• At least 5 years of hands-on software engineering

• Experience working with ML or optimization models in production systems

• Strong mathematical thinking and analytical mindset

• Excellent communication and prioritization skills

• Creative, curious, and self-driven — you take ownership from day one

Nice to Have

• Experience in energy trading, electricity markets, or time-series forecasting

• Background in mathematicaloptimization or power systems modeling

• Familiarity with event-driven architectures or distributed systems
