• Experience working with APIs, databases, and existing codebases.

• Ability to work with loosely defined problems and turn them into practical solutions.

• Comfortable taking ownership, working independently, and adapting in a fast-moving environment while collaborating with people across different teams.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with agentic systems, MCP, RAG, evaluations, or workflow orchestration.

• Hands-on knowledge of AWS, cloud infrastructure, developer tooling, or internal automation.

• Background in energy, electricity markets, trading, optimization, or another data-heavy domain.

Why Capalo

• Build the AI capabilities the whole company runs on, from the ground up

• Own solutions end to end, from idea to production to daily use

• Work on technology that is accelerating the transition to renewable energy

• Join a fast-growing company at the intersection of AI and energy markets
