• Solve real-world infrastructure complexity instead of building isolated apps

Your Profile

• Strong backend or platform engineering experience
• Interest in infrastructure systems and interoperability
• Pragmatic problem solver
• Ability to work independently and take ownership
• Curiosity for real-world operational systems

You will thrive here if you

• enjoy solving messy infrastructure problems
• like systems thinking more than feature factories
• want to build critical infrastructure software with real-world impact

What We Offer

• A small, highly experienced team of just 10–12 people with maximum ownership, visibility and impact.
• Flat hierarchies, fast decisions and direct access to customers, partners and management.
• The opportunity to work with some of the most innovative companies in energy and e-mobility, from fast-growing startups to large international corporates.
