Job description

The Company

The energy industry is undergoing one of its biggest transformations in decades.

We're partnering with a well-funded, early-stage climate technology company building software that sits at the heart of the transition towards a cleaner, more intelligent electricity grid.

Rather than improving existing systems, they're building an entirely new platform from the ground up - combining real-time data, distributed hardware, AI, and energy trading to solve complex problems that have a genuine impact on the future of energy.

Still a small engineering team, they're at the stage where every engineer has a meaningful influence on the product, technical direction, and success of the business.

You’ll join a highly technical, product-focused engineering team building software that powers real-time operational and commercial decision-making.

This is a backend-first role (Python ≈70%) with exposure across the full stack, working on data-intensive systems where correctness, scalability and performance genuinely matter.

You’ll work across multiple product areas - from backend services and APIs through to customer-facing products, internal tooling and complex operational workflows.

Expect plenty of ownership, ambiguity, and the opportunity to solve difficult engineering problems from first principles.

This is a fast-moving Product Engineering environment where engineers are trusted to own problems rather than simply deliver tickets.

Nice to have:

Experience within energy, trading or financial markets

Evidence of exceptional technical achievement or deep personal passion for building products

This role will suit engineers who enjoy solving difficult business problems just as much as writing great code.

Introductory conversation
Technical pairing session
Final conversation with the founders

A collaborative interview process focused on real-world engineering rather than algorithm memorisation.

Join an exceptionally early-stage business tackling genuine technical complexity
Work on products involving real-time data, distributed systems and intelligent decision making
High ownership from day one with direct access to founders
Small, highly capable engineering team with no unnecessary hierarchy
Opportunity to influence architecture, product and engineering culture
Equity alongside a competitive salary
Work on technology with meaningful climate impact

If you're a product-minded software engineer who enjoys solving complex backend problems, thrives in startup environments, and wants to build systems where every decision has real-world impact, we'd love to hear from you.
