We usually respond within two weeks
We're at a pivotal moment for both Tibber and the planet. When joining Tibber, you won’t just help scale a forward-thinking tech company – you’ll contribute to a real shift in how people consume electricity. With millions of smart devices connected to the Tibber platform (like electric vehicles and smart thermostats), we have one of the most unique energy trading portfolios on the market.
We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join us in making the energy transition happen – maybe that’s you?
Job Mission 🚀
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you’ll join our Energy Deal area (Tibber’s Energy Retail Platform) owning the full energy subscription lifecycle, from sign-up to termination, including market integrations, consumption/volume handling, invoicing, payments, and collections. You’ll shape clear system boundaries, build great APIs and tooling, and help ensure a scalable, reliable platform across markets
What you'll do ✅
Build, evolve, and operate backend services within a microservices ecosystem (across billing, payments, volume, market communication, and internal tooling)
Take operational ownership: monitoring, incident response, on-call readiness, and continuous reliability improvements (DevOps)
Drive measurable improvements in within the area, for example improve payment rate
Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and market specialists to turn complex requirements into solutions
Reduce complexity by clarifying boundaries, defining interfaces, and improving service-to-service contracts
Champion a platform mindset by treating internal APIs and tools as products used by other teams
Contribute to technical discussions, architecture work, and longer-term initiatives across all of our markets
What we're looking for⚡
Someone who enjoys taking ownership of complex systems and shipping improvements that matter. You thrive in an environment where you’re trusted with high accountability and real impact. We also believe that you:
• Have senior backend experience building and operating distributed systems in production environments
• Bring strong engineering practices (testing, observability, CI/CD) and care about running what you build
• Are comfortable in high-transaction domains where correctness, traceability, and reliability are non-negotiable
• Collaborate with a team-first mindset: invite input early, surface blockers fast, and give/receive feedback in a constructive way
• Located in Stockholm or Førde (or open to relocating) and able to work from our office 2-3 days/week
• Fluent in English, with excellent written and verbal communication skills
Bonus points if: experience within the energy market, billing/payments or financial systems, internal platforms/dev tooling, or parts of our stack (.NET, Kafka, Kubernetes, AWS, Postgres)
💆🏻♀️💆🏽♂️The Tibber Mindset
Tibber is not your typical energy supplier. Our tech helps hundreds of thousands of households lower and shift their energy consumption to more sustainable and affordable hours. We’re here to accelerate the energy transition – not in theory, but in everyday life.
Being on a mission to change an industry, fundamentally also means being prepared for the unexpected. We do what others say can’t be done, try and fail together but never lose sight of our users. We work passionately with sustainability and a circular approach, both with our own products and in the entire ecosystem that is affected by everything we do.
Starting out with two passionate founders in 2016, we're now 300+ people working for Tibber in our offices in Stockholm, Førde, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Oslo. We will continue to grow within our markets, and we are thrilled to be backed by investors like Balderton Capital, Eight Roads Ventures, Founders Fund, Summa, and Schibsted.
Diversity of thought fuels better products, so we welcome applicants of every background, identity and lived experience. Ready to be part of powering the energy transition? Apply below!
