## Job description

### ABOUT THE ROLE

You will join the core infrastructure team to build scalable backend services for an energy tech platform that enables dynamic energy offerings for OEMs and energy providers.

### WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Design and implement robust backend components using TypeScript and Node.js

- Work with PostgreSQL and an ORM to model and access data efficiently

- Contribute to serverless or server-based backend services, including API routes or server components

- Collaborate on distributed systems design to ensure scalability and maintainability

- Integrate payments and billing flows as part of the product surface

- Own features end to end from design through production shipping

### WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 3+ years of experience building reliable backend infrastructure

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

- Experience with PostgreSQL and ORM based data access

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

- Understanding of distributed systems concepts and designing scalable core services

- Experience integrating payments and billing flows

- Strong CS fundamentals, formal degree or equivalent practical experience

- Experience in an early stage startup environment and strong ownership mindset

### COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Salary range: €80,000 to €120,000 annually. Visa sponsorship available.

### LOCATION

On-site in Berlin, Germany

**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.
