Backend Software Engineer

You build the backend services that collect, process and expose heat pump data for monitoring, optimisation and product development. Your APIs and data models turn field data into better performance and reliability for heat pumps in people's homes.

What you'll do

• You build and maintain backend services that collect, process and expose data from our heat pumps.

• You design robust APIs and data models for monitoring, optimisation and product development.

• You analyse field data to improve the performance and reliability of our heat pumps.

• You work with embedded, control and product engineers, close to the hardware in Duizel.

• You help shape the backend architecture and make deliberate technical choices for a platform that grows with Weheat.

About Weheat

Heating is one of the largest remaining sources of CO₂ emissions in our homes. To tackle that, we want Weheat to become Europe's leading player in residential heat pumps. We develop, test and build our own heat pumps, from first design to production at scale in the Brainport Eindhoven region. What sets us apart: we develop hardware and software together. That makes the heat pump easier to install, and it steers itself smartly on comfort and energy prices. In Utrecht, we drive our commercial growth and build our digital products.

What you bring

This is you

• Experience with backend development, preferably with C#/.NET, or you are confident you can pick it up quickly

  Don't tick every box? Apply anyway. We look at talent and drive, not a perfect CV.

How we work

A mission bigger than you

Going off gas should be the obvious choice for everyone, not a compromise. The better we do as a company, the faster that switch happens. You'll see what you contribute in the product and in people's homes.

Your voice counts

If a topic is yours, so is the decision, whatever your job title. You gather input, weigh it up and see it through. Got a question or feedback? Go straight to the colleague who can help. We work without layers or approval rounds: you get trust up front, not after you've earned it.

AI is part of the job

We work AI-first. AI is built into many of the tools we use every day, and we use it wherever it makes our work easier or better.

We grow together

Weheat is a young company. A lot is still being built, and you help build it. Our growth in the Netherlands and the move into Europe create new roles and markets. You get responsibility from day one and work closely with the people who design and build our heat pumps in the Brainport Eindhoven region.

What we offer

• A laptop and phone, with a plan you can also use privately

• Travel allowance

• We cover your full pension contribution

• Worked extra hours? Take them back as time off, or get them paid out

• Fresh lunch every day

• A summer and a winter party

• A key role in the backend architecture of our heat pump platform
