Lead Backend Engineer CQuel’s mission is to accelerate the decarbonisation of commercial real estate. We do this by providing a SaaS platform to help our consultancies and ESG teams transform themselves into an implementation engine. Our platform gives them the power to write briefs, tender and vet selected suppliers all in one place. This is sustainability but at its core it is engineering; we are focused on getting projects implemented. We’re a small but highly skilled team of 9 FTEs working remotely from the UK, Barcelona and Berlin. Our team is multi-disciplinary with significant experience from tech startups, marketplaces and building engineering. After commercial launch in the beginning of this year, we are currently tendering net zero technologies worth more than EUR 20m for 250 assets in the UK and Germany. Our clients are some of Europe’s biggest commercial real estate companies and most prestigious decarbonisation consultancies. To assure that we continuously deliver the best offers, we count on a rapidly growing network of hundreds of vetted suppliers. We’re searching for a Backend Engineer with experience in application development, database design, and a bit of devops to take charge of and own our stack. You’ll be supported by a frontend engineer (if you have some of these skills, great), but you’ll be the main protagonist in our architecture.
