Who we are
At GALVANY, we drive the energy transition through software. We’re building an AI-based Operating System for sales, planning, installation and operation of heat pumps and integrated energy systems – from single-family homes to multi-unit buildings, and across our Energy Community as a Virtual Power Plant. GALVANY is a profitable, fast-growing company backed by leading investors.
The role
As a Backend Engineer at GALVANY, you'll design, build, and optimize scalable backend systems that power our AI-based Operating System for heat pumps and energy management, ensuring seamless performance from sales to operations in single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and our Virtual Power Plant.
Develop robust APIs, data integrations, and services to handle complex energy workflows, with a focus on stability, observability, and scalability to directly support end-users.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement features that drive the energy transition.
Leverage AI and LLMs to enhance backend solutions and stay ahead in the Gen AI landscape.
Tech Stack: Backend with GoLang; ML with Python, PyTorch, and LLMs; Frontend with React, Tailwind, and Shadcn; Mobile with Flutter; General tools including Azure, GitHub, Linear, Notion, Kafka, Benthos (data pipeline), Kestra (workflow engine), and low-code process automation platforms.
What we value
Ownership. Take end-to-end responsibility. Fix systemic issues, not just symptoms; champion long-term health over short-term wins.
Product Thinking. Outcome over output. Build with user empathy, business context, and data – not just code. Validate assumptions early and measure whether features create real value.
Curiosity. Ask “why?” relentlessly. Seek new perspectives, challenge assumptions, and share learnings openly – both inside and outside the team.
Pragmatism. Choose the simplest effective path. Make smart trade-offs, consider low-code and AI tools, and prioritize reuse of libraries, services, and patterns over reinventing the wheel.
Team First. Team over ego: win and learn together. Elevate collective goals, communicate transparently and share successes and failures openly.
What we require
Experience. 4+ years of experience in high-performance environments (e.g., top-tier consulting, fast-scaling startups, or similar).
Track Record. Proven end-to-end responsibility in software engineering. From ideation to release.
Background. Strong background in relevant fields, e.g., Computer Science, Software Engineering, or similar.
Technical Skills. Strong coding skills with proficiency in relevant languages such as Go, Python, or similar.
Mindset. Self-driven problem-solving mindset – no need for micromanagement or specific tickets.
Technical Aptitude. Technical mindset with a passion for understanding systems, data flows, and integrations, coupled with enthusiasm for continuous learning and problem solving.
Language. Fluent in English; German is a plus.
What we offer
Real-World Impact. Your work drives decarbonization – measurable in CO₂ savings, energy efficiency (kWh), and cost reductions (€).
Perks. Prime office location in Berlin Charlottenburg, high-quality subsidized lunch, regular company events and all-hands.
Compensation. Attractive package with VSOP opportunity.
Strong Growth & High Impact. A unique opportunity to join during a hypergrowth phase and actively contribute to company success.
Open Culture. Flat hierarchies, short decision-making paths, and a collaborative, dynamic environment.
