Backend Engineer - Data (m/f/d)

Help us decarbonize cement and concrete - not tomorrow, today
alcemy is on a mission to keep 100 million tons of CO₂ out of the atmosphere every year by 2030. Making concrete accounts for around 8% of global CO₂ emissions, and our machine-learning software runs inside cement and concrete plants 24/7 to cut it - without sacrificing quality or driving up costs. We're already live in a third of Germany's cement plants and 30+ ready-mix concrete plants.
The role
You'll own the systems that get plant data into alcemy.
That data comes from external partners, and it arrives messy. You'll build and own the APIs and services that take it in, make sense of it, and feed the machine-learning models behind our recommendations - designing those systems, deploying them, keeping them running, and diagnosing what went wrong when something upstream changes without warning.
It's a backend engineering role with a data problem at the centre of it, and it's refreshingly hands-on with customers: you'll dig into real-world data, explain what you find to non-technical people, and make getting data into alcemy dramatically easier.
What you need is solid production Python, the ability to run what you build, and comfort talking to the people on the other end of the pipe.
