The Role

As a Fullstack Software Engineer, you’ll be a foundational member of the engineering team working directly with the CTO, AI engineers, and product leaders. You’ll design backend systems, build fullstack functionality, and integrate AI capabilities into production-ready services—all while moving at startup speed.

What You’ll Do

• Backend Development: Architect and implement APIs, services, and distributed systems for the platform.

• System Modernization: Transform outdated legacy workflows into secure, scalable, cloud-native systems.
• Security & Compliance: Build with security-first principles, ensuring enterprise-grade compliance for the utility sector.
• Agile Delivery: Ship features and improvements in rapid cycles while balancing speed with reliability.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of backend software engineering experience (SaaS or enterprise).
• Strong in React, Python, and either Golang or Java.
• Familiarity with AI/ML tools & APIs (comfortable calling models and integrating outputs).
• Solid understanding of databases (SQL/NoSQL), distributed systems, and message queues.
• Experience building cloud-native systems (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• A clear communicator who thrives in small, agile teams and takes full ownership of their work.

Why Join

• Opportunity to build a platform from the ground up with direct impact on product direction.
• Work at the intersection of AI + energy infrastructure, solving complex, meaningful problems.
• Competitive salary + equity package in a high-growth environment.
