Company Founded in Berlin, autarc is a ~40 person start-up who were part of Y Combinator’s S24 batch in San Francisco. Our team consists of people in Sales, Tech and Operations, with the Engineering & Product department currently ~20 people, as we continue to grow throughout the year.
Role Description This role is to join our Core Engineering team, who are focused on improving both developer and user experience. This includes optimising database performance, working on the scalability of our app, honing in on quality assurance and working on integrating 3rd party SaaS.
You will be exposed to working on something 1-10, as an early member in our journey. You’ll be continuously involved in decision making, as opposed to having narrow and machine-like tasks in a larger organisation where you will need to contribute towards defining roadmaps and mentoring other members of squad.
Day-to-day work will consist of designing architecture and ensuring that as our customer base grows, the quality in the technology that we offer is not affected. Examples of features that you will help ideate and ship would be allowing users to import and export 3D scans and renders, handling billing/invoicing, managing subscriptions and introducing the use of Zapier, HubSpot and more.
This team is central to everything at autarc and influences wider Product squads.
Other responsibilities will include:
This role is Fullstack but Backend heavy, with the split being approximately 80/20.

About Us Right now, 25% of CO2 emissions in Europe are caused by heating our buildings. In order for this to be reduced, the transition towards renewable energy needs to be simplified and made more accessible. There are too few installers to meet the growing demand for heat pumps, and a solution to match this trend needs to be brought to the market.
autarc is developing the leading operating system (OS) for heat pump installers, enabling a more digital and efficient installation process for heat pumps.
Through this, autarc is reducing the hurdles to decarbonizing single-family homes and small apartment buildings in Europe, with the goal to help with the planning and designing of 1 million heat pumps by 2030.
