## Description

We're hiring a Backend Software Engineer (AI Applications) who thrives in early-stage chaos - someone who can go from an idea or prototype to a working system in days, not months.

You'll build the backend that powers our AI Energy Agent: LLM-driven systems that read, structure, and reason about energy data. You'll integrate with dozens of utility APIs, orchestrate data pipelines, and develop services that make AI truly useful in production.

You'll work directly with the co-founder/CTO and other engineers, designing backend systems that scale from 10 customers to 10,000 - and you'll do it fast, with ownership, and with pride., * Service Architecture: Design and deploy fast, secure microservices in Python (and optionally TypeScript).

 * Data Integration: Build reliable connectors to energy company portals and public data sources.
 * Infra for Intelligence: Help design the backend infrastructure that lets AI agents read, reason, and act autonomously across our data stack.
 * Performance & Scale: Own systems that need to run 24/7 - low latency, high reliability.
 * Observability & Tooling: Ship CI/CD pipelines, logs, and metrics to keep everything visible and maintainable.
 * Collaboration: Work with customer success/sales teams to translate messy real-world problems into clean technical abstractions.
