# Founding Engineer

**Clera** · Munich

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/clera/95229d98-443f-4290-916f-6ee7ef987bbc

## About the role

##### About the Role

This is a founding-stage full-stack engineering role at an early-stage energy software company building an end-to-end platform for industrial battery storage. You will own core product development spanning real-time optimization, forecasting, and operator-facing dashboards, with direct influence on product direction and company trajectory.

##### What You'll Do

- Own and build backend services and optimization algorithms that drive real-time energy asset optimization and forecasting.

- Develop frontend dashboards that enable battery operators to monitor and control assets.

- Architect and scale cloud infrastructure to support thousands of battery systems.

- Deploy production-ready optimizations and iterate based on real-world feedback.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teammates to define and prioritize product features.

##### What We're Looking For

- Up to five years of work experience, with a degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or Electrical Engineering (Bachelor's or Master's, strong academic record required) and graduation no earlier than 2023.

- Full-stack proficiency: React and TypeScript on the frontend (Next.js preferred) and Python on the backend.

- Experience with Tailwind CSS.

- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure.

- Experience with mixed-integer optimization or deploying optimizations in production systems is a strong plus.

- Startup experience at an early-stage company (under 3 years old and fewer than 50 employees).

- Genuine interest in the energy sector, particularly battery storage or renewable energy.

- Fluent or near-fluent German, a hard requirement as most customers operate in German.

- Demonstrated high achievement beyond standard coursework or employment, such as founding experience or participation in selective extracurricular programs.

- A semester or extended study abroad at a recognized international university.

- Comfort operating at pace in an ambiguous, high-growth environment.

##### Compensation & Benefits

Salary range: 70,000 to 100,000 EUR annually. Visa sponsorship is available.

##### Location

On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany, five days per week. No remote arrangement is available for this role.
