Technical Operations Lead

This is your next job

As a Technical Operations Lead, you’ll join our forward-thinking team to design, enhance, and expand the software solutions that help stabilize modern energy grids. You will work closely with a passionate group of energy and IT professionals to seamlessly integrate new customers, optimize renewable energy management, and scale our platform across diverse international markets. Beyond hands-on development, you will rapidly take ownership of critical production systems and operational processes. This role is designed as a fast-track position for high performers: within a short time, you will be expected to drive major operational improvements, take responsibility for system reliability and customer-facing operations, and grow into a technical and operational leadership role at the core of our business.

Why you should be excited about this opportunity

• Innovative Technology: Lead the operation and continuous improvement of cutting-edge systems that directly address the stability challenges of modern energy grids and enable large-scale renewable energy integration.

• High-Ownership Growth Environment: Take full technical ownership of our production systems and operations, actively shaping both the platform architecture and the operational toolchain as the company scales.

• Collaborative Leadership Culture: Work within a highly collaborative, open team where your technical leadership, clear communication, and forward-thinking approach directly influence both strategic decisions and day-to-day execution.

  
  

What you will do

• Own and evolve the operation of fast, scalable production systems, ensuring high availability, performance, and reliability

• Build and maintain fast, scalable server-side applications

• Design robust APIs and data models with PostgreSQL as your go-to database

• Lead cloud deployment, monitoring, and scaling strategies in AWS to support business-critical workloads

• Drive systematic debugging, testing, and performance optimization across all back-end services

• Continuously evaluate and introduce modern tools, patterns, and best practices, translating them into measurable operational improvements

This is you

• 3+ years experience of professional experience as backend engineer

• Strong backend skills in Python (FastAPI) and Go

• Comfortable with PostgreSQL (or similar SQL databases)

• Working knowledge of Docker and cloud platforms like AWS

• Familiar with RESTful API design and back-end architecture

• You care about code quality, performance, and testing—but know when to ship

• Experience with version control systems (e.g. Git), agile workflows and a good understanding of how modern codebases are maintained and deployed - CI/CD tools, containers, or infra-as-code is a plus

• You are naturally curious and driven by solving complex problems — you don’t stop at the first answer but enjoy digging deep until the root cause is truly resolved.

• You are comfortable working in live operational environments, where reliability and precision matter.
