Senior Full Stack Software Engineer

FRYTE is redefining how electric logistics connects with the energy grid.

From our base in Munich were building the intelligence layer that powers the transition from diesel to electric freight.

Our SaaS platform enables fleet operators dispatchers and charge point operators to plan optimize and monetize electric truck charging aligning fleet efficiency with grid stability.

Our vision: replace big oil with smart electrons.

Our mission: get e-trucks on the road faster smarter more efficiently.

This is a deep technical role for someone who wants to go deep not climb an org chart.

Youll be the technical anchor of our backend the engineer who sets the quality bar owns the hardest design decisions and quietly makes the whole system more robust and scalable. The person the rest of the team brings their thorny problems to and whos genuinely happy to dig in.

Were explicit about this: this is an IC role with a Staff Engineer trajectory. No management obligation ever. Your influence comes through architecture code and mentorship not headcount. If your idea of growth is becoming the person whose judgement defines how a system is built this is for you.

One note on the title because it travels badly between companies: we dont measure seniority in years or in features shipped inside one familiar framework. We measure it in scope of ownership systems you were responsible for when they broke designs you had to revisit once reality showed up assumptions that scale quietly humbled. Most good engineers learn that lesson several times usually the annoying way. Wed rather hire someone who already has.

Youll work directly with the founders (former TUM researchers with deep energy logistics expertise) on the integration layer that makes electric freight actually work: multiple domains real production traffic.

What Youll Do

• Own the architecture and production-hardening of our backend as we scale from seed onward
• Design and version stable multi-domain APIs (multiple integrations real-time data streams)
• Build the observability backbone logging tracing metrics so we operate with confidence not hope
• Raise the bar across the codebase: patterns ADRs reviews and the unglamorous work that keeps things maintainable
• Mentor and unblock the team through code and conversation lift everyones ceiling
• Move fluidly into DevOps SRE or frontend when thats what the problem needs

Our Stack

Backend: Python FastAPI Postgres PostGIS
Frontend: React TypeScript
Infra: AWS

• A track record of owning production backend systems in Python (FastAPI) on SQL/Postgres not just building in them. Carrying something you designed through deployment failure and the redesign that followed. (That depth usually takes 5 years to earn; the years themselves arent the point.)
• Strong backend and system design instincts you reason about boundaries failure modes and versioning before you write the first line
• Architectural depth ideally in charging fintech scheduling or similarly stateful integration-heavy domains
• A habit of operating across boundaries backend infra the occasional frontend fix sometimes code you had no business touching because the problem never cared what your job description said
• A teaching reflex: you have an answer to most things and youre happy to share it

Bonus: GitHub Actions observability tooling (tracing/logging/metrics) SRE practices and a track record of maintaining or contributing to OSS because you find it fun.

Most of all: we hire for trajectory and attitude. Were looking for the humble curious expert whos a mentor and coach by instinct not because its in the job description.

Impact that matters every system you harden helps decarbonize logistics.

Foundational ownership you define the architecture an entire platform is built on at exactly the stage where that work compounds.

How We Work

• Asynchronous-first less talk more output. Today our knowledge lives in Notion and scattered markdown files; bringing real structure to it is part of the work and the kind of thing youll have a hand in shaping.
• Autonomy & ownership we trust you to make decisions not wait for permission.
• Deep work long focus blocks low meetings.
• Hands-on no bureaucracy if something can be improved improve it.
• Human connection good coffee real conversations.
