Backend Developer (f/m/d)

At

encentive

, we are building

flexOn

– an intelligent energy management system that uses AI to control industrial assets.

We collect real-time data from assets, forecast their behavior, and combine this with external factors such as weather conditions and energy prices. The result: optimized

costs

and reduced

CO₂ emissions

.

Today, flexOn is a tool built

by engineers, for engineers

.

Tomorrow – with

you

– it will become a product that excites customers, delivers real value, and redefines standards in the energy industry.

Your Mission

In the future, it won’t just be about

using less energy

– it will be about using it at the

right time

. Only then can volatile renewable sources like wind and solar be optimally integrated into our electricity system.

With our

AI-powered flexOn platform

, we help industrial energy consumers actively flexibilize their energy usage – in other words, to use electricity exactly when it is

greenest

and

most affordable

.

Our goal: to

accelerate the decarbonization of the energy system

while significantly reducing costs for our customers.

At

encentive

, you’ll not only join a

fast-growing start-up

– you’ll play a key role in driving the

energy transition

forward from day one.
