London, UK
Job Description
You will build the core infrastructure for a decarbonised energy system, developing the API layer that connects millions of EVs and batteries to electricity markets. Working in a flat, high-intensity environment, you'll own end-to-end features across device integration and ML forecasting to facilitate the global transition to renewable energy.
Why this role is remarkable
- Massive technical ownership and architectural authority as an early engineer in a 15-person team with hands‑on, CS PhD founders.
- Backed by world‑class investors like Accel with over £8M in seed funding to build the "Stripe for energy flexibility."
- High‑impact mission where your code directly reduces carbon emissions by optimizing real‑world energy assets and grid‑aware infrastructure.
What You Will Do
- Design and ship B2B API infrastructure using Python and GCP to connect distributed energy devices to global power markets.
- Build and manage the full Virtual Power Plant stack, including real‑time control systems and machine learning forecasting models.
- Collaborate directly with clients and market operators to iterate on product features that move energy usage to green, low-cost periods.
The ideal candidate
- Proven production experience shipping B2B SaaS products with Python backends and a strong grasp of Docker and GCP environments.
- A history of solving complex technical challenges in distributed systems, real‑time integrations, or data pipelines at a scaling startup.
- Deeply motivated by the climate crisis and ready to thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑intensity environment with a commitment to impact.
