Lead Product Developer

Why Brilliant is sourcing applicants for this role on behalf of a fast-growing, Berlin-based AI energy technology startup.

Take over product ownership directly from the founders at a fast-growing, Berlin-based energy technology startup and build the AI-native interface between industrial enterprises and European energy markets.

Why this role matters

We are hiring our first dedicated product person to take the reins from our founders and scale our B2B energy products.

Without you, we cannot accelerate the deployment of our AI-native workflows that help industrial enterprises navigate complex virtual balancing circles, optimize BESS algorithms, and maintain ISO 50001 energy management compliance.

What you'll do

You will own the end-to-end B2B energy product strategy and roadmap in close collaboration with our Head of Product.

• Translate complex European power market dynamics into simple, AI-native product workflows.
• Design and scale our virtual balancing circle products for industrial enterprises.
• Implement complex BESS (battery energy storage systems) optimization or trading algorithms directly into our core product or integrate them with third-party systems.
• Embed ISO 50001 energy management compliance standards directly into our core product features.
• Partner closely with engineering to transition conceptual wireframes into high-impact product releases.
• Establish the product development lifecycle processes as our first dedicated product hire.
• Who this is a fit for
• Experienced in B2B energy product development, specifically building virtual balancing circles or algorithmic energy products (BESS, trading).
• Deeply knowledgeable about the European power market and its regulatory landscape.
• Versed in ISO 50001 standards and how industrial enterprises manage energy compliance.
• Highly comfortable with AI-native workflows and integrating modern AI into Saa S products.
• Thrived in early-stage startups and comfortable executing in a fast-paced environment.
• Driven by structured weekly milestones and a high-performance talent culture.
• What it's like to work here

The company operates with a collaborative and highly structured weekly milestone rhythm.

The team holds a strong talent philosophy where every new hire is expected to raise the collective bar, fostering an environment of continuous high-impact execution and shared accountability.

• The offer
• Foundational ownership as our first dedicated product hire, inheriting product direction directly from the founders.
• Collaborative culture built around structured weekly milestone rhythms and high execution standards.
• High-impact environment where every team member is selected to raise the collective bar.
• Hybrid flexibility based out of our collaborative Berlin office space.

This probably isn't for you if

• You prefer slow, monthly, or quarterly planning cycles rather than a fast-paced environment structured around weekly milestones.
• You want a mature, highly structured corporate product organization with pre-defined processes and large product teams.
• You lack practical, hands-on experience in the European power market, virtual balancing circles, or ISO 50001 compliance.
