Job Level
About the role
- Lead Architecture: You will be our first software engineer.
- Inhouse Intelligence: You will develop the core logic for battery optimization, asset optimization, predictive maintenance, AI-enabled project development, and more.
- Strategic Autonomy: You will define the tech stack and system architecture so that Arteus can scale over many years.
- Ownership: You take technical leadership from day one and will gradually build your own engineering team.
Requirements
- Experience: You have worked in an agile, fast-growing tech environment and have repeatedly demonstrated your ability to build from 0 → 1 → 10.
- Skill Set (Systems Thinking): You think in end-to-end systems rather than isolated components.
- Mindset (Builder Ownership): You don’t wait for tickets - you identify problems proactively and tackle them.
- Autonomy: You work independently, make well-founded technical decisions, and seek input only when it truly adds value.
- Learning Curve: You actively seek steep learning curves and new technical challenges.
- Bias to Action: You favor pragmatic execution over perfectionism.
Benefits
- Maximum autonomy, maximum leverage: Front-loaded responsibility instead of a ticket queue.
- Design the brain of a future utility: You are not building tools - you are building the digital nervous system of a next-generation energy provider.
- Learning at the frontier of energy + software: Deep exposure to power markets, flexible assets, and industrial optimization - combined with modern platform engineering and ML-driven decision-making.
