Software Engineer (m/f/d)

Job Description

Want to shape the future of renewable energy? Your ideas matter here. We are building the operating system for renewable energy and simplify the management of energy assets with Amperecloud Platform – for a world where green energy drives growth.

We're looking for a sharp, product-first full‑stack engineer to build the platform that 300+ energy operators rely on every day: monitoring 8,000+ solar and wind plants with more than 10 GWp under management. This is real‑time, mission‑critical infrastructure. Live plant telemetry around the clock, alerting that has to fire within minutes, and APIs that control‑room teams depend on.

Contract type: Full‑time, permanent
Location: Berlin

Team Lead: Omkar Pimple

What you will do

• Build: Design and implement new features across frontend and backend – Node.js, React, microservices on Kubernetes
• APIs: Develop and maintain the APIs that connect inverters, data loggers, and third‑party systems to one platform
• Real‑Time Data: Work on ingestion, processing, and alerting for live telemetry from thousands of plants
• Quality: Troubleshoot and resolve bugs before customers notice them, supported by Grafana and Prometheus
• Collaborate: Work in an agile team where engineers shape decisions, not just tickets
• Ramp‑up: In the first 6 months, master our stack, ship platform features, and own platform areas

What we offer

• Ownership: Your features, your decisions, your responsibility. From day one, not after a probation year
• Mission Critical Impact: Your code runs real renewable energy infrastructure. When your deploy improves alerting, an operator somewhere catches a failure hours earlier. No feature flags, no three approval rounds
• Direct Access: Short paths, small team, no alignment theater. Architecture discussions happen in the team, with you at the table
• Growth: The platform is scaling fast, and engineers who grow with it move into architecture decisions, not into management by default
• AI with Purpose: AI tooling in the daily engineering workflow as standard: licenses for everyone, used where it creates real leverage, not hype
• Environment: Office first in Berlin with limited home office flexibility, because we build faster in person

What you bring

• Fullstack: ~5 years of professional experience shipping production software with Node.js and React, ideally a SaaS platform real users depend on
• Track record: You've shipped at a high‑growth startup or top‑tier tech company and know what production quality at pace looks like
• Backend: Designed, built, and maintained APIs that others depend on
• Infrastructure: Comfortable working in a Kubernetes/microservices environment
• Debugging: Track down issues systematically instead of guessing
• English: Fluent (our working language). German is not required
• Nice to have: Grafana/Prometheus experience, time‑series data, or a background in the energy sector

Who you are

• Entrepreneurial: Act like an owner: spot problems nobody assigned you and fix them without waiting for permission
• Team player: Make the people around you better through honest code reviews and shared context. No lone‑wolf heroics
• Thinker: Question the ticket before you build it. Tech serves the product, not the other way around
• Ambitious: Aim high, ship, learn from what breaks, and iterate with a better approach

Not for you if: you’re bureaucratic, conflict‑avoidant, risk‑averse, 9‑to‑5, anti‑AI, a poor communicator, or a hardcore introvert.

We evaluate based on ability and potential, independent of age, gender identity, origin, sexual orientation, disability, or religion.
