Senior Software Engineer - Backend (f/m/x)

Berlin, Germany

Full-time

Company Description

At Enpal, we’re building the largest renewable energy community in Europe.

How? By making solar simple: We rent out solar panels, battery storage, and EV chargers – all in an all-inclusive package, combined with affordable green electricity and connected through one smart, integrated system. Guided by our motto “digital, decentralized, and 100% renewable”, our mission is twofold: scaling a world-class company while tackling one of the greatest challenges of our generation – climate change.

We’re only just getting started on our journey to become Europe’s largest energy company – and we’re looking for bold talent to join us, shape our path, and grow with us. At Enpal, you’ll find a dynamic, purpose-driven environment with real ownership, impact, and the space to evolve personally and professionally. As Germany’s first green unicorn and Europe’s fastest-growing energy company (FT1000 Ranking 2022 by Financial Times & Statista), we’re pushing the transition to clean energy forward.

Join us and help change the world.

Job Description

• 1. Build scalable, cloud-based applications using microservices and event-driven architectures

• 2. Own full-cycle delivery: infrastructure as code (Terraform), container orchestration (Kubernetes), GitOps (ArgoCD), and observability (Datadog, Grafana)

• 3. Solve integration and scalability challenges with a focus on robustness, maintainability, and security

• 4. Contribute to architecture decisions and actively challenge the status quo

• 5. Collaborate closely with PMs, Designers, and QA – from discovery to deployment and ongoing maintenance

• 6. Communicate clearly, give constructive feedback, and elevate code and system quality across the team

Qualifications

• Strong experience in cloud, backend, and infrastructure engineering, ideally in regulated or sensitive-data environments

• Deep hands-on expertise with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

• Proficiency in CI/CD, GitOps, ArgoCD, Terraform, and container orchestration (Kubernetes)

• Solid understanding of event-driven patterns (e.g., Kafka, SQS, Pub/Sub) and microservice design

• End-to-end mindset – you think beyond code and care about deployment, monitoring, and support

• Excellent English communication skills – both written and spoken

• Experience with React, Flutter, MongoDB, or Salesforce

• Exposure to compliance-heavy or audit-relevant systems
