Software Engineer

Job Description

Want to shape the future of renewable energy? Your ideas matter here. We are building the operating system for renewable energy and simplify the management of energy assets with Amperecloud Platform – for a world where green energy drives growth.

We're looking for a sharp, product-first fullstack engineer to build the platform that 300+ energy operators rely on every day: monitoring 8,000+ solar and wind plants with more than 10 GWp under management. This is real-time, mission critical infrastructure. Live plant telemetry around the clock, alerting that has to fire within minutes, and APIs that control-room teams depend on.

You've shipped real features in production and you own them end to end, from API design to the last pixel in the browser. You'd rather fix the root cause than patch the symptom, and you say so in code review. You treat AI tools as leverage in your daily workflow, and you care about results, not hours.

You'll own one clearly scoped area of the platform and ship features across the stack. Depending on where you start, that's external APIs and Virtual Power Plant connectivity, monitoring and alarms for battery storage (BESS), or the horizontal layer every customer touches: authentication, roles and permissions, whitelabelling. Your first PR ships in week one.

Team Lead: Omkar Pimple

Recruiter:

Contract type: Full-time, permanent

Location: Berlin

# What you will do

Build: You design and implement new features across frontend and backend — Node.js, React, microservices on Kubernetes

APIs: You develop and maintain the APIs that connect inverters, data loggers, and third-party systems to one platform

Real-Time Data: You work on ingestion, processing, and alerting for live telemetry from thousands of plants

Quality: You troubleshoot and resolve bugs before customers notice them, supported by Grafana and Prometheus

Collaborate: You work in an agile team where engineers shape decisions, not just tickets

Ramp-up: In your first 6 months, you master our stack, ship platform features, and own your own platform areas

# What we offer

Ownership: Your features, your decisions, your responsibility. From day one, not after a probation year

Mission Critical Impact: Your code runs real renewable energy infrastructure. When your deploy improves alerting, an operator somewhere catches a failure hours earlier. No feature flags, no three approval rounds

Direct Access: Short paths, small team, no alignment theater. Architecture discussions happen in the team, with you at the table

Growth: The platform is scaling fast, and engineers who grow with it move into architecture decisions, not into management by default

AI with Purpose: AI tooling in the daily engineering workflow as standard: licenses for everyone, used where it creates real leverage, not hype

Environment: Office first in Berlin with limited home office flexibility, because we build faster in person

Requirements

# What you bring

Fullstack: ~5 years of professional experience shipping production software with Node.js and React, ideally a SaaS platform real users depend on

Track record: You've shipped at a high-growth startup or top-tier tech company and know what production quality at pace looks like

Backend: You have designed, built, and maintained APIs that others depend on

Infrastructure: You're comfortable working in a Kubernetes/microservices environment

Debugging: You track down issues systematically instead of guessing

English: Fluent (our working language). German is not required

Nice to have: Grafana/Prometheus, time-series data, or a background in the energy sector

# Who you are

Entrepreneurial: You act like an owner: you spot problems nobody assigned you and fix them without waiting for permission

Team player: You make the people around you better through honest code reviews and shared context. No lone-wolf heroics

Thinker: You question the ticket before you build it. Tech serves the product, not the other way around

Ambitious: You aim high, ship, learn from what breaks, and go again with a better approach

Not for you if: you’re bureaucratic, conflict-avoidant, risk-averse, 9-to-5, anti-AI, a poor communicator, or a hardcore introvert.

We evaluate based on ability and potential, independent of age, gender identity, origin, sexual orientation, disability, or religion.
