• Build intuitive, elegant user interfaces for a complex decision-support system

• Train time-series forecasting models for power consumption and renewables production

• Develop linear optimisation algorithms that reduce customer energy costs

• Help choose and shape the core tech stack, including PostgreSQL, TypeScript, React, and Python

What We're Looking For

• Strong software engineering fundamentals with experience building robust, maintainable, scalable web applications in a high-intensity or startup environment

• A product mindset and the ability to deliver full product features independently with customers

• Hands-on experience or strong interest in time-series forecasting and/or linear optimisation (preferred)

• Comfortable working across backend and frontend domains; familiarity with PostgreSQL, TypeScript, React, and Python is a plus, and FastAPI or Supabase experience is welcome but not required

• Early-stage startup experience preferred; generalist engineer or former CTO background is a plus, while corporate backgrounds are acceptable with demonstrated startup mindset and grit
