• Set backend priorities with the CTO and run agile delivery
• Lead code reviews and set standards for testing and security
• Mentor backend developers
• Bring AI into the backend (model endpoints, MCP servers, agents)

What you bring




• 5+ years of backend development
• Strong Python with GIS libraries (GDAL, GEOS, Shapely, GeoPandas)
• Production experience with PostgreSQL/PostGIS
• REST API design, Git, automated testing, CI/CD
• Experience leading technical work: code reviews and mentoring
• Professional English
• Based in Europe, available 10:00–15:00 CET

Nice to have
Django, AWS, Docker, large spatial datasets, AI or GeoAI experience
Why join
• Own the technical core of a product used by major utilities
• Work that supports the energy transition
• Adaptable hours, remote-first, small senior team
