Senior Backend Engineer

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with an interest in full stack development to join our Site Config team. You will help to design, build and shape the solutions that enable the seamless setup and configuration of our customers' Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS).

What you'll do

• Plan, build and shape multiple business critical applications and integrations
• Thoughtfully create, implement, evaluate and deploy software solutions to solve complex problems in an elegant way
• Lay the foundation and architecture to scale globally
• Foster a culture of experiment-driven innovation within the team
• Promote teamwork and successful project execution
• Improve developer satisfaction by constantly avoiding/reducing tech-debt, automating as much as possible and documenting decisions, runbooks etc.
• Work across your boundaries and interact in close collaboration with our stakeholders and other teams

What you'll need

• Proven experience in developing, shipping and monitoring scalable backend software solutions with TypeScript from several past projects
• Experience with NestJS in large scale applications is a clear plus - otherwise, experience with similar frameworks
• Able to communicate ideas clearly and concisely both in written and spoken form (our working language is English)
• You actively seek input from your peers and create visibility where it's lacking
• A broad knowledge of architectural patterns and experience implementing them with modern devops best practices
• Worked in a cross-functional team being responsible for the full software development lifecycle, including leading project orchestration
• Interest in wearing different (metaphorical) hats: we expect our engineers to engage in product thinking and care deeply about business impact
• You feel comfortable with ambiguity and ask for what you need to get the job done

Nice to have

• Experience in Next.js or Flutter - We are experimenting with more fullstack roles, though you will remain primarily a backend expert
• Experience with CI/CD using GitHub Actions and cloud infrastructure (GCP/Vercel)
• A passion for the home energy and renewable sector

What they offer

• Work remotely (Germany-wide), with offices in Hamburg, Berlin or Munich
• Direct contact with core decision makers
• EGYM Wellpass for healthy work-life balance
• Benefits and discounts with Futurebens
• Job bike leasing for city bike or e-bike
