- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-02-08
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-15

## Job description

## About Nomos

Europe pays more than twice as much for electricity as the US or Asia. To reach competitive price levels, Europe has to lean on solar and deliver the flexibility that makes this feasible. Nomos is building a full-stack power company to unlock that flexibility by connecting millions of homes to Europe’s energy markets. At Nomos, we care about our craft and take full responsibility for what we build. We hire for spikes, not an absence of weaknesses, and look for exceptional ability backed by a record of achievement. This has brought together IMO and IOI medalists, former founders and Olympic athletes in a team whose individual strengths reinforce one another.

## What you’ll do

Nomos OS runs our power company. You will build its core systems and set the engineering standard as we scale.

- Build our billing, procurement, metering, market communication, and ledger systems.
- Build the pipelines and integrations behind forecasting, partner connections, and asset steering.
- Set engineering standards across architecture, code review, AI tooling, and hiring.

Exciting challenges

- Make the next feature easier to build. Understand the market’s exceptions well enough to create abstractions the whole team can rely on.
- Keep the architecture ahead of growth. Work through how systems behave at 100x today’s load, including where correctness, performance, or recovery could break down.

## Who you are

- You’ve operated systems at scale. You can explain where the limits were and how you changed the design.
- You think through the whole system. You understand boundaries, data flow, and how failures spread. Your technical decisions account for all three.
- You take responsibility before it is assigned. You investigate unclear problems, set a direction, and hold the implementation to the standard you expect from others.

Why join us? As an early member of Nomos, you’ll help shape the company and share in its financial upside. Backed by Index Ventures, we’re building a European category leader in one of the world’s largest industries, making electricity affordable and Europe more competitive. Building a power company from scratch brings complex, rewarding challenges and the chance to solve Europe’s energy crisis for the long term. You’ll learn from people with exceptional depth in their fields, challenge each other’s thinking and take responsibility from the start.

## About Nomos

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Nomos provides a full-stack API platform that enables hardware companies to launch their own branded dynamic electricity plans by abstracting all legal, operational, and regulatory complexity.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Pre-Seed)
- **Headquarters**: Berlin, Germany
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Nils Bitzer and Stefan Gerbes

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Energy technology (Energytech / Electricity retail)
- **Target Customers**: B2B – hardware manufacturers, consumer electronics companies, and any business that wants to offer energy plans under its own brand.
- **Mission**: Empowering companies to put consumers in charge of their energy through simple, embedded energy services.

## Products & Services
- **Embedded Energy Platform**: A full-stack offering that includes licensed electricity retail, procurement, billing, metering, and supplier switching – all exposed via a single API. Supports dynamic day-ahead wholesale tariffs, §14a grid fee reductions, and device-level load shifting.
- **Nomos Hosted Pages**: Pre-built branded checkout and customer portal that can be embedded in days.
- **API‑First Integration**: REST endpoints and webhooks for companies that want full UI and data control.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly available
- **Total Funding**: USD 2,067,845 (Pre-Seed round in October 2024, led by Speedinvest)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Speedinvest (lead investor); partnerships with FlatPeak, ZEWOTHERM, and IKEA Deutschland (Svea Strom dynamic tariff)
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 71% YoY (to 7 employees); LinkedIn followers exceed 1,500; expanding partnerships with major European hardware and energy brands; hiring across engineering, operations, and product roles.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full‑stack licensed retailer**: Nomos is a fully licensed and regulated electricity retailer in Germany, handling all backend complexity (procurement, billing, metering, switching) so partners don’t need energy expertise.
- **API abstraction**: All operational and legal complexity is hidden behind a modern, developer‑friendly API – enabling rapid integration for companies that want to launch energy plans.
- **Dynamic tariff capability**: Supports day‑ahead wholesale pricing and AI‑optimised charging, helping customers achieve significant cost savings (e.g., 40% energy cost savings cited).

## Strategic Focus
- Deepen embedded energy relationships with European hardware and consumer brands.
- Expand product capabilities (e.g., commercial fleet charging, AI‑optimised load shifting).
- Scale the team (currently ~7 people) with a focus on backend engineering, product engineering, and energy operations.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Lean, high‑impact team tackling complex energy‑grid problems in a nascent market.
- **Workplace**: In‑office in Berlin (Chausseestraße 86) – no remote‑first option mentioned; collaborative, hands‑on environment.
- **Perks**: Part of a fast‑moving startup backed by top investors; opportunity to shape the architecture and product from an early stage.
- **For engineers**: Work on modern APIs, real‑time energy data, and directly influence the green energy transition.
