You want to actively shape the energy transition?

Then join SPiNE Energy – the first start-up with a cyber-secure Energy App Store in Europe. Our mission: We're building the digital backbone of the energy transition – with scalable software on the Smart-Meter infrastructure.

As Software Tech Lead (m/w/d), you'll be responsible for developing and operating our scalable Energy-as-a-Service platform for innovative energy applications – from architecture to backend and embedded development, all the way to secure and performant delivery in production.

What we're doing:

SPiNE is developing the software stack for intelligent energy management on the secure Smart Meter infrastructure. Our API-centric platform enables city utilities and energy suppliers to implement new business models like dynamic tariffs, energy management, local optimization, grid-friendly control, and marketing of flexibility – reliably, scalable, and future-proof.

Tasks

• You'll take responsibility for our full-stack architecture and bring technical depth in backend, frontend, and infrastructure.
• You'll develop central components of our SaaS product further – from conception to implementation.
• You'll help create technical roadmaps and scalable solutions for production operation.
• You'll drive and expand the SPiNE software development process: from idea to development, review, and evaluation.
• You'll work closely with our CTO, the development team, and external partners.
• You'll ensure clean interfaces, sustainable code quality, and robust architectural decisions.

Qualification

• Multiple years of experience in developing complex software solutions (ideally in B2B or infrastructure environments)
• Deep understanding of modern tech stacks (cloud-native architecture, API design, data modeling, security)
• You think in systems and have a sense for pragmatic, robust software architecture.
• You know how to create a stable yet flexible software development process.
• You're strong both in conception and implementation – from whiteboard to deployment.
• Nice to have: Experience with IoT, energy management, or the Smart Meter infrastructure
• You're confident in English and speak German (at least B2 level)

Benefits

• Mission-driven work: Our software contributes to decarbonization and digitalization of the energy system.
• Startup vibes: You'll work with an experienced founding team with short decision-making paths.
• Technology with substance: Over 100,000 lines of code, ongoing cooperation with established market partners, and a unique product on a regulatorily secure foundation.
• Flexibility and responsibility: We build on trust, self-responsibility, and smart solutions – not overhead.

If you're excited to shape the energy transition from scratch with deep-tech solutions and drive digital progress in the energy sector, we look forward to your application with a brief CV and a few lines about your motivation.
