<div class="show-more-less-html__markup show-more-less-html__markup--clamp-after-5 relative overflow-hidden"> <strong><strong>Why Now<br/><br/></strong></strong>European energy costs run 2× those in the US and China. Electricity demand is on track to double by 2050. Volatility and complexity aren't temporary — they are structural.<br/><br/>trawa is building the solution: the first integrated B2B energy platform that bundles procurement, energy management, and flexibility steering into one product. Supply, Manage, Flex — together they unlock up to 30% in recurring electricity cost savings, while shifting companies onto renewable energy.<br/><br/>We are the fastest-growing B2B energy platform in Europe — active in Germany and Austria today, expanding to a third market in 2027. The window is open, and we intend to own it.<br/><br/><strong>About Trawa<br/><br/></strong>trawa is based in Berlin with ~100 FTE, ~30 of whom work in Product &amp; Tech. We have raised over €35M to date — including a €24M Series A in May 2025 — backed by Balderton, Headline, Speedinvest, AENU, Magnetic, and Tiny VC. All three founders are on board and fully committed to building the utility of the future.<br/><br/><strong>About The Role<br/><br/></strong>You'll join the team that owns <strong>energy trading and asset optimization</strong> at trawa - the engine that turns market signals and live asset data into smart, automated decisions. It's a data-intensive, high-stakes part of trawa's tech platform where good engineering directly moves the numbers that matter.<br/><br/>We're looking for someone who loves building complex systems, takes real ownership of what they ship, and makes the people around them better. You'll shape architecture, drive initiatives end-to-end, and help define how the team builds.<br/><br/><strong>What You'll Work On<br/><br/></strong><ul><li>Designing and building the backend systems behind our trading and asset-optimization platform. The services, data flows, and logic that need to be both fast and dependable. </li><li>Owning initiatives end to end: gathering requirements with product and trading colleagues, shaping the approach, and rolling it out iteratively. </li><li>Working at the intersection of backend and data - modeling and moving data so it's reliable, explorable, and useful to the people who depend on it, including our data scientists and quantitative traders. </li><li>Raising the bar on quality, observability, and how we reason about correctness in a system where mistakes are expensive. </li><li>Operating and maintaining what we build. We stay with our systems after launch: keeping them healthy in production, learning from how they behave, and improving them over time. <br/><br/></li></ul>Our backend is Python-based: we run on AWS with Terraform, and build with FastAPI, Pydantic, and SQLAlchemy. Having worked in this stack is a nice bonus, but not a requirement.<br/><br/><strong>Your First 90 Days<br/><br/></strong><strong>First 6 Weeks - Getting Oriented<br/><br/></strong><ul><li>Get up to speed on the trading and asset-optimization systems, our Python/AWS stack (FastAPI, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy, Terraform), and how market and asset data flows through the platform</li><li>Ship your first fixes and small improvements to get familiar with the codebase, our review process, and how we operate in production</li><li>Build relationships with product, data science, and quantitative trading colleagues to understand priorities and how decisions get made<br/><br/></li></ul><strong>By Month 3 - Building Momentum<br/><br/></strong><ul><li>Take ownership of a meaningful initiative end-to-end: gather requirements, shape the approach, and roll it out iteratively</li><li>Contribute architectural input on at least one active design decision in the codebase</li><li>Help raise the bar on quality and observability by identifying and addressing a gap in how we reason about correctness in production<br/><br/></li></ul><strong>You might be a good fit if:<br/><br/></strong><ul><li>You've built complex, data-intensive systems and can point to projects you're proud of. </li><li>You've owned a large initiative end-to-end. From fuzzy requirements through an iterative rollout to production - not just the code, but the outcome. </li><li>You put the team first: you genuinely enjoy collaborating with people around you and you'd rather support the team than be the lone hero. </li><li>You're comfortable making architectural decisions in an evolving codebase. </li><li>You're drawn to hard, meaningful problems and want to help shape the next steps of an energy trading and asset-optimization platform. <br/><br/></li></ul>Don't meet every single requirement? At trawa we are building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace. If you are excited about this role but your background doesn't tick every box, apply anyway — you may be exactly the person we are looking for.<br/><br/><strong>Bonus points<br/><br/></strong><ul><li>Experience at the intersection of backend and data engineering - building scalable data pipelines, modeling data to streamline it, and enabling data exploration for other functions. </li><li>Exposure to energy, trading, or other real-time, high-stakes domains. <br/><br/></li></ul><strong><strong>Why Join Us<br/><br/></strong></strong><ul><li>🌍 Real impact - Join one of Europe's fastest-growing B2B energy platforms at a pivotal moment. Your work will directly support systems that help industrial companies cut costs and go green. </li><li>🚀 Early ownership - We give team members responsibility from day one. You won't be shadowing - you'll be shipping. </li><li>🤝 Mentorship that matters - Regular leadership sessions, cross-functional exposure, and engineers who are genuinely invested in your growth. </li><li>📚 Learning culture - Annual learning budget, dedicated development time, and a team that takes knowledge-sharing seriously. </li><li>🌐 Inclusive by design - 15+ nationalities, family-friendly policies, and a genuine commitment to building a place where everyone can do their best work. </li><li>🎁 Solid benefits - A competitive package covering wellbeing, learning, and team experiences.</li></ul> </div>
