Senior Software Engineer

At 1KOMMA5°, we are building Europe's leading clean energy operating system — connecting solar, heat pumps, energy storage, and charging into one unified platform.

As Senior Software Engineer for Contract Lifecycle Platform, you will own the technical architecture behind how we manage, automate, and connect contracts and energy partner integrations across the Heartbeat AI platform.

Your focus will be on backend systems, ensuring that customer and energy contracts are reliably integrated with our payment and CRM systems to support scalable post-booking, activation, and billing workflows.

You will work with a cross-functional team of 10 (Product Manager, Designer, Backend Engineers, Frontend, Mobile) and work closely with other product and platform teams to evolve our distributed architecture and integration landscape.
