• Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience building maintainable, scalable applications, including frontend interfaces for complex decision-support systems and backend services for data-intensive products.
• Fluent spoken and written German, and a product-minded, hands-on approach suited to an early-stage team.
• Experience across frontend and backend development. PostgreSQL, React, and Python experience are relevant; TypeScript, FastAPI, and Supabase are useful.
• Experience or strong interest in time-series forecasting and/or linear optimization, with curiosity about energy markets.
