Backend Software Engineer (f/m/d)

At Enpal, we are pursuing the dream of building the largest renewable community in Europe. How do we make that happen? Enpal finally simplifies providing solar energy: We rent out solar systems, electricity storage, and wall boxes at an all-inclusive rate, supplemented by a favorable green electricity tariff; all intelligently connected to form an integrated overall solution. True to the motto "digital, decentralized, and 100% renewable", our heart beats both for the rapid development of a company and for combating the greatest challenge of our generation - climate change.

Our highly ambitious team around serial entrepreneur Mario Kohle is supported by experienced investors like Alexander Samwer (Picus Capital) and Lukasz Gadowski (Team Europe, Delivery Hero). In addition, we were able to bring Princeville Climate Technology (advised and funded among others by Leonardo DiCaprio) and Peter Rive (SolarCity) on board. As the first green unicorn in Germany, we see it as our duty to continuously drive forward our mission of green energy for all. Be part of our success story and change the world by joining us!

As a backend software engineer you will work on complex problems in delivering renewable energy solutions: from building APIs supporting real time energy data, via integrating caching strategies to optimize performance, all the way to scaling and operating cloud infrastructure in Azure.

We offer speed, agility, and steep career growth. Our vision to make sustainable solar energy available to everyone can only come to live through our customer and product-oriented view, and the cooperation between software development, product management and lean, experiment-driven business development.

Join us to develop your professional skills, take part in the energy revolution, and let us take ownership of the sustainable change we want to see in the world together! We are looking forward to your application.
