We are Tibber, the energy company that wants you to use less energy. Whaaat? That’s right. We’ll get back to that. Yes, we are by definition an energy company, but we’re more techy than most. How and why you might ask? Well, a third of our employees are actually working on developing products and solutions that can help you use energy in a smarter way and at a lower cost – all with the help of cool fancy tech. Good for our customers, their wallets, and the planet.
Our growth rate has been truly amazing, and still, we’re just getting started. With millions of smart devices connected to the Tibber platform (like electric vehicles and smart thermostats), we have one of the most unique portfolios trading energy on the market.
Job Mission 🚀🚀
In the Product Experience product area, we build many of the features that our customers love - from signup and onboarding to the Tibber home screen as well as all the charts and analysis, powered by consumption and behavioral data.
We’re on a quest to find a Senior Backend Engineer for our Product Experience area. You will help us build and maintain parts of our backend, serving the apps and our customers with all the data needed in the apps.

Some of your responsibilities (but not limited to) include:
- Building and maintaining the GraphQL layer between the apps and the backend services
- Bringing new ideas to the table
- Championing your vision of what the system architecture should be
- Pushing for experimentation
- Debugging system-wide effects
- Demoing
- Keeping up with technical developments in the field
You are not expected to juggle all the above at the same time, but you should ideally be a versatile Engineer who thrives in a scale-up environment.
