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.
