    • Requirements For the Role Include:

  • 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience
  • Full-stack depth in Python (Django/FastAPI) and modern React/TypeScript
  • Strong architectural judgment
  • Comfort with large-scale data processing and cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred)
  • Fluency with AI-assisted development tools

    • Nice To Haves Include:

  • Experience with ERP systems, especially SAP (maintenance workflows, master data, integrations)

    • Exclusive Ecosystem: Unparalleled access to AI Fund’s experts and Dr.
      Andrew Ng’s network of AI luminaries.
    • Real-World Impact: We are solving critical performance gaps in energy supply while demand driven by global electrification skyrockets.
    • Growth Path: Opportunity to evolve from a lead individual contributor to a
      team leader as the company scales.
