- 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
- Versátil hours, remote-first, small senior team
