Junior Software Engineer – End-to-End Aggregation Platform (m/f/d)
utilize connects the flexibility of mid-sized grid connections with the electricity market. Our platform links battery storage and other distributed assets to the energy markets and trades their flexibility automatically – turning a real building block of the energy transition into something usable.

To grow our platform, we’re looking for someone at the start of their career who is keen to learn across the entire stack – from the device in the field to the market interface.
Join us full-time or as a working student.
What you’ll do
- Development: You work on new features and improvements to our platform – in the backend (Python/Django), on APIs and on connecting assets via edge devices.
- Operations: You support monitoring and troubleshooting so that our platform runs reliably.
- Quality: You write automated tests and help develop our CI/CD pipelines further.
- Infrastructure: You learn to build and maintain cloud infrastructure with infrastructure as code (Terraform) and containers.
- Documentation: You keep data flows, interfaces and processes clearly documented.
- Collaboration: You work closely with our Technical Lead and learn how customer requirements become technical solutions.
What you bring
- A completed or ongoing degree in computer science, electrical engineering, energy engineering or similar – or comparable practical experience
- First experience in software development, e.g. from your studies, internships, working-student jobs or your own projects
- Good knowledge of Python or a comparable programming language
- First experience with agent-based software development, e.g. with coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor or GitHub Copilot
- A basic understanding of Git, Linux and networking
- Curiosity, initiative and a willingness to take on responsibility
- A structured way of working and enjoyment in understanding problems thoroughly
- Very good German or English
Nice to have
- Some exposure to Docker, cloud services or CI/CD
- An interest in IoT/embedded, e.g. Modbus or Raspberry Pi projects
- An interest in the energy industry (flexibility trading, battery storage, virtual power plants)
What you’ll work with
You don’t need to know all of it – much of it you’ll learn with us in the team:
- Backend
- Python/Django, API design, asynchronous processing
- IoT & Edge
- Modbus/TCP, device management
- Infrastructure
- Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, European cloud providers
- Monitoring
- Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry
- Security
- WireGuard, TLS/mTLS
- CI/CD
- GitLab pipelines, automated tests
What we offer
- Meaningful work on infrastructure that makes flexibility usable for the energy transition
- A steep learning curve: you work on real production systems from day one – supported by experienced colleagues
- Broad insight across the entire stack, from edge to cloud and the electricity market
- Short decision paths and the chance to help shape tools and team culture in an early-stage start-up
- A small, ambitious and diverse team with experience from the battery and energy industry
- Flexible working models and real development prospects
