Software Engineer
? Software Engineer (Python) | Climate Tech | London (Hybrid)
We’re working with a high-growth startup building the infrastructure powering the next generation of energy systems.
If you’re excited by real-world impact, ownership, and solving complex problems at scale — this is one to take a look at.
⚡ The Opportunity
This is a product-focused engineering role where you’ll be building systems that directly influence how energy is used, stored, and distributed. You’ll be working on software that connects to real-world devices, orchestrates them intelligently, and helps optimise energy usage based on cost and sustainability. It’s fast-paced, hands-on, and genuinely impactful work.
? What You’ll Be Doing
- Building backend systems in Python that power core platform functionality
- Working across product, data, and infrastructure — not siloed into one lane
- Owning problems end-to-end, from idea through to production
- Collaborating with users, clients, and stakeholders to shape solutions
- Shipping quickly and iterating based on real-world feedback
?️ Tech Environment
- Python-first backend environment
- Cloud-based infrastructure (GCP)
- Containerised systems (Docker)
- Strong collaboration between engineers and data teams
? What They’re Looking For
- Strong backend engineering experience (Python preferred)
- Someone who thrives in ambiguity and enjoys solving messy, real-world problems
- Product mindset — thinking beyond code to impact
- Comfortable taking ownership and moving quickly
- Interest in climate, energy, or building meaningful technology
? Why It’s Worth a Look
- Work on a genuinely important problem space (energy + climate)
- High ownership, low bureaucracy environment
- Competitive salary (£90k-£120k) + meaningful equity
- Hybrid working (London-based, 2–3 days onsite)
- Small, ambitious team where your work directly matters
If you’re the kind of engineer who enjoys building things that actually make a difference — this is a great opportunity to step into that environment.
