  • AI Integration: Collaborate with AI engineers to embed models, embeddings, and agent services directly into backend workflows.
  • System Modernization: Transform outdated legacy workflows into secure, scalable, cloud-native systems.
  • Security & Compliance: Build with security-first principles, ensuring enterprise-grade compliance for the utility sector.
  • Agile Delivery: Ship features and improvements in rapid cycles while balancing speed with reliability.

 

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of backend software engineering experience (SaaS or enterprise).
  • Strong in React, Python, and either Golang or Java.
  • Familiarity with AI/ML tools & APIs (comfortable calling models and integrating outputs).
  • Solid understanding of databases (SQL/NoSQL), distributed systems, and message queues.
  • Experience building cloud-native systems (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • A clear communicator who thrives in small, agile teams and takes full ownership of their work.

 

Why Join

  • Opportunity to build a platform from the ground up with direct impact on product direction.
  • Work at the intersection of AI + energy infrastructure, solving complex, meaningful problems.
  • Competitive salary + equity package in a high-growth environment.
