Software Engineer

You'll be the first software engineering hire at Gridual. You'll work across the full backend stack, owning real systems that control physical assets in a live market. This isn't a role for someone who wants a clear ticket queue and a comfortable lane. It's for someone who gets energy from figuring things out, moves fast without cutting corners on what matters, and wants to look back in a few years and say they built something real.

What you'll work on

• Low-latency data pipelines feeding forecasting and real-time control systems
• Backend services that integrate with energy markets and partner APIs
• Observability and reliability for systems where downtime has real consequences
• The architecture decisions that will shape how we scale

• Ambition and boldness: ready to tackle complex, high-impact problems
• Strong software engineering skills, with Python-heavy backend experience
• Experience building robust, production-ready data pipelines or backend systems
• A hands-on, ownership mindset. You ship code fast, and are ready to leverage AI-based tools to do so

Bonus points :

• Cloud infrastructure experience (AWS, GCP)
• Experience with schedulers, or real-time data
• Energy, trading, or high-reliability domain experience

• No bullshit: we're a small team acting fast
• Competitive compensation package including equity
• By building critical systems to control physical assets, your impact will be immediate and substantial
