## Job description

### ABOUT THE ROLE

Join the core infrastructure team at an energy technology company building systems for dynamic electricity plans and reliable billing. You will develop scalable backend services, including a modular billing engine, market communication systems, and an accounting ledger.

### WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Design backend solutions that simplify complex billing and energy-market systems.

- Scale core infrastructure to support growing transaction volumes and market needs.

- Ship features and improvements through rapid iteration and practical execution.

- Improve technical quality through code reviews, architecture decisions, and mentorship.

### WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- At least 3 years of hands-on backend engineering experience, with recent production coding and shipping.

- Proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js, including asynchronous programming.

- Experience with PostgreSQL and ORM-based data access, such as Drizzle or similar tools.

- Experience building Next.js backend services, including API routes or server components.

- Familiarity with distributed systems and designing scalable, maintainable core services.

- Experience integrating Stripe payments and billing workflows.

- Strong computer science fundamentals from formal education or equivalent practical experience, and evidence of exceptional technical work through projects, research, competition results, or founding experience.

- Fluency in German at C1 level or higher, strong communication skills, and an ownership mindset.

### COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Base salary: €80,000 to €120,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is available.

### LOCATION

On-site in Berlin, Germany, five days per week.

**Live in Clera’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
