  • Building customer-facing products from scratch using React, TypeScript, and modern frontend tooling
  • Owning frontend quality, user experience, and engineering standards
  • Contributing across the stack, including backend integrations, APIs, product logic, and Python-based services
  • Working with SQL, Databricks, and related data systems
  • Turning complex operational and commercial workflows into clear product experiences
  • Collaborating closely with product, engineering, data, and leadership
  • Helping shape technical standards and architecture as the team grows

  • Strong React and TypeScript experience
  • A frontend-strong engineer who can build products from scratch
  • Solid backend exposure, ideally with Python
  • Experience with databases and data platforms such as SQL and Databricks
  • Experience building customer-facing software in a commercial environment

  • Comfortable with ownership, pace, and autonomy

Nice to have

Why join

  • High ownership from day one
  • The chance to build frontend products from scratch
  • Real influence over product and technical direction
  • Broad exposure across frontend, backend, data, and product
  • Strong long-term growth potential as the business scales

Summary

This is a strong opportunity for a Senior Product Engineer, Full Stack who wants to build meaningful products in the energy market, with real autonomy and scope to grow.
