Description du poste

What we do

At Terabase Energy, we believe that digitalization and automation will drive the next wave of innovation and cost reduction in large scale solar. To fully unlock the potential of this opportunity, Terabase is developing an interconnected software and construction automation platform.

We work alongside project developers, owners, and engineering & construction firms to support the design, optimization, and construction of huge solar projects around the world.

Our team is a blend of solar-industry veterans and novices, thought-leaders, dreamers, software, electrical and mechanical engineers, coders, product managers, project managers, sales and marketing professionals.

Terabase Energy is a well-funded scale-up headquartered in Berkeley, California, with several other offices around the world, with the most recent one being launched in Paris.

Our Paris office hosts our core R&D team in charge of the development of our flagship product, Construct.

Construct is a B2B SaaS construction management and quality control platform designed from the ground up for utility-scale solar projects. By combining GIS, AI/ML, IoT, and mobile technologies, the solution drives major improvements in safety, quality, cost, and schedule for the solar industry. Construct has supported more than 16 GW of projects from leading owners and EPCs.

The Role

You’ll join the Backend team in Paris, reporting to the Head of Platform. This team owns Construct's backend and infrastructure, plus a handful of internal tools.

We’re looking for an experienced engineer who’s already deep in the AI-assisted development workflow, someone who treats coding agents as a real part of their toolkit, not a novelty. You should be comfortable owning complex problems end-to-end, shipping high-quality code, and being a team player.

You’ll collaborate daily with our US-based engineering teams and our external partners in Belgrade.

What you’ll do

• Work closely with the rest of the team on Construct's backend
• Collaborate with the Mobile, Front and AI teams
• Collaborate with our external software development teams
• Design, develop, build, test, deploy Construct's backend
• Apply Agile principles in work activities
• Write high quality code
• Communicate with and support users of developed tools & products
• Champion culture and communication by building bridges between the local team and the other Terabase teams

What we are looking for

• 3-5 years’ experience in backend development
• BS in Computer Science
• Expertise in Python
• Experience building web services
• Experience with cloud-hosted software environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) – we are primarily an AWS shop
• Experience with various database technologies, including relational (SQL), non-relational (no-SQL)
• Real experience using coding agents day-to-day, you have opinions about prompts, context, and where they help vs. hurt
• Comfortable with CI/CD, unit testing, and TDD
• Solid grasp of Agile and the software product lifecycle
• Works well remotely and across time zones
• Professional English, written and spoken

Nice to have

• Experience with digital twins, modeling physical assets and processes in software
• GIS background
• Startup experience, especially building 0 to 1 in new markets
