Job Description
Backend engineer focusing on building and maintaining scalable cloud infrastructure for an AI-powered electricity marketplace. Collaborating with teams to deliver high-performing backend solutions.
Responsibilities:
- Design and build scalable backend services that power our core marketplace platform
- Develop and maintain cloud infrastructure on GCP using Terraform, ensuring reliability and cost efficiency as we scale
- Build integrations with utility data sources, supplier APIs, and third-party services across multiple energy markets
- Create robust data pipelines for real-time rate monitoring and market intelligence
- Partner with product and cross-functional partners to translate system and supplier needs into high-performing, resilient experiences. Take product ownership on select features and projects when necessary
- Collaborate closely with a small team where your code ships fast (multiple daily prod deploys) and your architectural decisions matter
- Leverage AI tools and workflows and uplevel the team around you
Requirements:
- 5+ years of backend engineering experience with production systems at scale
- Strong JavaScript/TypeScript expertise: Node.js for backend services, familiarity with Nest.js a plus
- Hands-on experience managing cloud environments including serverless and event driven systems built on native cloud tooling (GCP experience preferred)
- Terraform proficiency for infrastructure-as-code; you've managed real cloud environments, not just tutorials
- Comfort with databases (SQL, ideally Postgres), API design, and async processing patterns
- AI fluency: you actively use AI coding tools and are eager to push the boundaries of AI-augmented development
- Bias toward shipping; you thrive in environments with ambiguity and move fast without sacrificing quality
- Interest in energy, climate tech, or marketplace products is a strong plus
Benefits:
- Competitive salary + meaningful equity + benefits
- Remote-friendly with occasional in-person collaboration as needed
