We are looking for a Founding Engineer to help us turn our vision into products. If this sounds exciting to you, please reach out, even if you don’t check every box. 

Please be aware that we are not able to sponsor visa at this stage.

About Us 

We are building Co-Power to help power Europe’s industry. We see a future of energy abundance, where  clean electricity is ultra-affordable, resilient, and a strategic advantage for European industry. 

The energy company of the future will look nothing like today’s incumbents. It will run on decentralized,  flexible assets like batteries and intelligent software – delivering power at a fraction of today’s cost. We  are installing large-scale batteries at industrial sites and connecting them into a smart network that  manages electricity in real time, transforming factories into autonomous energy hubs and turning volatile  renewables into dispatchable, low-cost power available 24/7. 

Our ambition is bold, and so is our team. We’re looking for people who don’t just want to rethink energy,  but to build the energy system of the future. People who get as excited about substations as they do about  spot market optimization. People who believe Europe can lead again in industrial innovation, with energy  as the lever to make it happen. We’re backed by some of the world’s best investors who share our vision. 

What You Can Expect 

- Define how we build from day one: tools, architecture, and the foundation of our long-term  engineering culture. Start hands-on, grow into technical leadership as the team scales. - What you build will directly shape our customers' success – and Co-Power's. - Work side by side with our Product Lead and founders. 

- Build core products from scratch, from intelligent control of batteries at industrial sites to  aggregating many sites into an intelligent network. 

- We are a small team that is extremely supportive. We win and lose together, and we trust our  colleagues to deliver. 

What We’re Looking For 

- 3+ years of engineering experience, ideally in a startup or scale-up. 

- Track record of building things that made a real impact on a company’s success. - Comfortable using modern tools, including AI-assisted development, to move quickly. - Strong in full-stack or backend engineering. 

- Experience with cloud architectures (AWS, GCP, or Azure). 

- High-ownership mindset: if something doesn’t exist, you build it. 

- Extremely ambitious: you want to be part of something big and shape the future of energy. - You want to help create the energy system of the future. 

Benefits 

- A meaningful slice of equity in Co-Power, alongside a competitive salary. 

- Top-notch equipment. You choose what you need. 

- A dog-friendly office at Goetheplatz, Munich, with all the usual shenanigans. - While we allow for plenty of flexibility, we ask for an office-first commitment: when you’re not  traveling, most of your time will be in the office. In an early-stage company, people learn faster,  connect better, and accomplish more when they spend meaningful time together.
