Backend Engineering

Started by Stefan and Nils in 2024, the Nomos team now consists of former researchers, founders and senior engineers united by a deep frustration of the current energy system and the vision to build a category leading enterprise out of Europe., Nomos is building the core infrastructure for dynamic electricity plans. To make this possible, we've developed our own operating system, spanning a modular billing engine, low-level energy-market communication protocols, and a full accounting ledger. Your responsibility will include:

Solve for complexity through design. The energy market is full of edge cases, legacy protocols, and evolving regulations. Your job is to turn that chaos into clear, elegant abstractions and design APIs and systems that make something deeply complex feel simple and reliable.

Scale the core. You'll work on the beating heart of Nomos: our billing engine, data pipelines, and partner integrations. You'll design for performance, correctness, and resilience - building systems that can scale 10× without breaking.

Bias for action. We optimize for momentum. You'll have full autonomy to ship, refactor, and push ideas forward without waiting on layers of approval - the shortest path from idea to production is the right one.

Raise the bar. You'll shape our engineering standards, review critical code, and contribute to the technical culture of a team that values clarity, pragmatism, and velocity.

Do you have experience in APIs?, We are primarily interested in your motivation, ambition and ability to grow. While there is no perfect candidate, the points below give you an indication of what we are looking for:

• You thrive working in person in a small team that holds each other accountable
• You take extreme ownership of ideas and drive projects to completion.
• You have 3+ years of experience building reliable backend infrastructure
• You are excited about solving complex engineering challenges in the energy space
• You are driven by nonconformist curiosity and have shown this in your career or side projects - we're excited to hear about these!

• As an early member of our team you will shape the foundation of our company and benefit from the financial upside accordingly
• Solve complex challenges powering Europe's energy infrastructure
• No politics, instead passion, speed and customer obsession
• We have a clear vision to radically transform one of the world's largest industries by building a category leader from Europe
• Create the culture you always wanted. Actively shape our processes, setup and the way how we get things done

Nomos exists to eliminate energy costs for 200 million European households. We achieve this by developing new energy products with Europe's leading technology companies and embed energy as a cost-saving feature for electric vehicles, heat pumps, battery storage systems and more.
