You will receive thorough onboarding into the processes of the energy market and gain access to an exciting, future-proof industry. We are well aware of the energy market’s complexity, which is why we place great importance on sharing knowledge and ensuring that you can succeed — regardless of your previous industry experience.
We invite you to join our growing development team as a Senior Software Engineer (Backend) in the Billing team in Berlin (m/f/d).
Your tasks
As part of our team, you will work on solutions for the billing and monetization of energy services and the related business processes.
- Contribute to the energy transition:
You design and develop software solutions that enable our customers to reliably and efficiently implement complex tariff models, billing workflows, and accounting-related processes. Your work directly supports economically sustainable business models in renewable energy.
- Shape complex systems:
From concept and implementation to quality assurance, you are involved in every step. You help design and evolve billing logic, data models, and product catalogs, ensuring long-term maintainability, scalability, and domain correctness.
- Solve technical challenges:
Billing systems place high demands on accuracy, traceability, and performance. You develop robust and scalable solutions using Python and Django, working on data modeling, asynchronous processing, batch processing, distributed systems, and the integration of external billing and accounting systems, while tackling demanding design and performance challenges.
- Collaborate across teams:
You work closely with colleagues from backend, frontend, DevOps, Product Management, and adjacent domains such as Finance and Operations. Together, you design cloud-based solutions, share knowledge, and actively shape architectural decisions. In an agile environment, you contribute to the continuous improvement of both product and processes.
- Stay curious and share knowledge:
You keep up with current trends in software design, bring new ideas into the team, and support the continuous evolution of our billing platform.
- Bridge legacy and future:
You help maintain existing systems while supporting their ongoing evolution and gradual modernization, contributing to the sustainable development of our billing and system landscape.
