Jobbeschreibung

Engelhart was founded in 2013 by BTG Pactual Group as a commodities trading company. Our business model is “asset light” and highly diversified – giving us the ability to adapt effectively and nimbly to changing market conditions. We have assembled successful multidisciplinary teams, leveraging advanced fundamental analysis with deep quantitative and weather research capabilities. Our activities are underpinned by strong risk management practices and by powerful technology and operational excellence. We have exceptional teams with diverse global backgrounds and decades of experience, and are driven by a highly collaborative culture, across products and competencies.

In 2024, Engelhart acquired Trailstone, a global energy trading and technology company. The acquisition provides us with new expertise, analytics and proprietary technology which is being used to provide risk management and optimisation services to help maximise the value of our clients’ renewable power. The acquisition also expanded Engelhart’s capabilities into physical natural gas across North America, a critical fuel to support the energy transition.

Our talented and experienced individuals work together according to its four company values: be bold, be collaborative, be proactive, be your best.

Software Engineer, Python – Berlin, Germany

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced back-end Python software engineer to join our dynamic Berlin office. This role will join the Trading & Commercial Development Team, developing best in class back-end services and microservices for our renewables trading platform, with Python.

The team is building a world-class product to help us scale and bring renewables to many more power markets in the world, while trading many more smaller electricity assets. This project is expanding at pace, following Trailstone acquisition with Engelhart Commodities Trading Partners. As a result, this role will be joining an international team with tangible impact on our platform's success from day one.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain containerised services for auction-based renewables trading, and integration with internal and external systems.
• Work in a cross-functional team with engineers, business analysts, traders, data engineers and data scientists.
• Stay up to date with the latest trends in technology and continuously improve our code base, systems, and processes.
• Mentor junior members in the team by emphasising code quality and conducting pull requests and code reviews.

About You

This person will be a seasoned developer, experienced working with time-sensitive hybrid-cloud systems, in order to deliver immediate impact to our growing renewables trading platform. This person will be working closely with commercial stakeholders on a regular basis, so experience collaborating with non-technical staff will help set someone up for success.

Essential skills & experiences

• Strong knowledge of object-oriented, functional and asynchronous programming and design patterns.
• Substantial SQL experience and understanding of relational database fundamentals.
• A passion for delivering clean code and working with a test-first mindset.
• An appreciation of working in a hybrid-cloud and container-driven architecture (partly on-premise and partly AWS).
• Domain knowledge in the energy or financial sector is highly desirable.
• Desirable, but not essential: Experience developing services in C#

Our tech stack includes Python (FastAPI, Pandas), AWS (ECS, Aurora), Redis, Docker, Atlassian (Jira, Bitbucket), SQL Server, C# and more.

What we offer

• Competitive compensation and participation in Engelhart’s discretionary bonus plan.
• 28 days of annual holiday entitlement plus Berlin public holidays.
• €3,000 per year contribution to a private pension scheme on your behalf.
• €20 monthly subsidy towards BVG tickets.
• €25 monthly subsidy towards ClassPass membership.
• Eligibility to receive external and internal training in accordance with our Training & Development Policy.
• A sociable working environment with an open, international culture.

We believe in inclusivity and are therefore dedicated to ensuring all employees – across gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, life experience, background and more – feel welcome and included in the company. We promote diversity because we believe it is essential to our ability to think holistically.
