About Zerofy

At Zerofy, we are building the AI and cloud platform powering the electrified home.

Our system integrates solar, batteries, EV chargers, heat pumps, and dynamic tariffs into a single intelligent optimization layer. Using our own forecasting and control algorithms—developed together with research partners and universities—our platform autonomously optimizes household energy usage to reduce household energy cost and helps to stabilize the grid.

We operate a pure cloud architecture serving solar installers and some of Europe’s largest energy companies through our B2B platform.

Our mission is to become the intelligence layer for residential energy.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who cares deeply about engineering craftsmanship, enjoys solving complex technical problems, and wants to build systems at the frontier of cloud, AI, and energy.

You will design and build core parts of our platform, working across backend services, cloud infrastructure, device integrations, and AI-driven systems.

This role comes with a high degree of ownership and autonomy. You will own systems end-to-end, influence architecture, and help shape the technical direction of the company.

You will also mentor junior engineers and contribute to building a strong engineering culture.

Our Tech Stack

Our backend is built primarily in TypeScript running on Node.js, using a cloud-native, serverless architecture on Google Cloud Platform. We use services such as Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, Firestore, and BigQuery to build scalable, event-driven distributed systems. Our platform integrates with a wide range of external APIs and IoT devices, including solar inverters, batteries, EVs, and heat pumps.

A core part of our platform includes proprietary forecasting, optimization, and control algorithms developed in collaboration with research partners and universities.

We also use modern AI coding tools extensively, including Claude, Cursor, Conductor, and similar frontier tools. We expect engineers to actively leverage AI-assisted development to increase velocity and capability.

What You’ll Do

Design and implement core backend systems using TypeScript and Node.js
Architect and build scalable, reliable cloud-native services
Own technical components end-to-end, from design to production
Build distributed, event-driven systems running on Google Cloud
Integrate external APIs from energy devices, EVs, and IoT systems
Work closely with our AI and algorithm systems powering optimization and forecasting
Make architectural decisions and improve system design, reliability, and performance
Mentor junior engineers and help raise the engineering bar of the team
Use modern AI coding tools extensively to accelerate development
Contribute to a culture of engineering craftsmanship and continuous improvement

What We Offer

High degree of ownership and autonomy
Opportunity to shape the architecture and core systems
Work on meaningful problems with real-world climate impact
Small, highly capable, senior team
Extensive use of frontier AI tools in engineering workflows
Competitive salary and equity participation
Flexible remote / hybrid setup
Office in Tallinn, Estonia
5 weeks vacation
Coworking support

Why Join Zerofy

You’ll work on one of the most important technical challenges of the coming decades: building the intelligence layer for electrified energy systems.
