This is your next job

As Technical Operations Lead, you'll join our forward-thinking team to design, enhance, and expand the software solutions that help stabilize modern energy grids. You will work closely with a passionate group of energy and IT professionals to seamlessly integrate new customers, optimize renewable energy management, and scale our platform across diverse international markets.

Beyond hands-on development, you will rapidly take ownership of critical production systems and operational processes. This role is designed as a fast-track position for high performers: within a short time, you will be expected to drive major operational improvements, take responsibility for system reliability and customer-facing operations, and grow into a technical and operational leadership role at the core of our business.

Why you should be excited about this opportunity

  • Innovative Technology: Lead the operation and continuous improvement of cutting-edge systems that directly address the stability challenges of modern energy grids and enable large-scale renewable energy integration.
  • High-Ownership Growth Environment: Take full technical ownership of our production systems and operations, actively shaping both the platform architecture and the operational toolchain as the company scales.
  • Collaborative Leadership Culture: Work within a highly collaborative, open team where your technical leadership, clear communication, and forward-thinking approach directly influence both strategic decisions and day-to-day execution.

What you will do

  • Own and evolve the operation of fast, scalable production systems, ensuring high availability, performance, and reliability.
  • Build and maintain fast, scalable server-side applications.
  • Design robust APIs and data models with PostgreSQL as your go-to database.
  • Lead cloud deployment, monitoring, and scaling strategies in AWS to support business-critical workloads.
  • Drive systematic debugging, testing, and performance optimization across all back-end services.
  • Continuously evaluate and introduce modern tools, patterns, and best practices, translating them into measurable operational improvements.

This is you

  • 5+ years of professional experience as a backend engineer.
  • Strong backend skills in Python (FastAPI), Go, or both.
  • Comfortable with PostgreSQL (or similar SQL databases).
  • Working knowledge of Docker and cloud platforms like AWS.
  • Familiar with RESTful API design and back-end architecture.
  • You care about code quality, performance, and testing, and know when to ship.
  • Experience with version control systems (e.g. Git), agile workflows and a good understanding of how modern codebases are maintained and deployed. CI/CD tools, containers, or infra-as-code is a plus.
  • Naturally curious and driven by solving complex problems, digging deep until the root cause is truly resolved rather than stopping at the first answer.
  • You are comfortable working in live operational environments, where reliability and precision matter.
