Tech Lead / Solutions Architect - Cloud Solutions
Join us to shape the future of energy! Lead the development of our cloud platform, Capture Cloud, and drive innovation in battery storage technology.
Seeking a Tech Lead / Solutions Architect to help shaping the future of smart energy
The European energy system is in the midst of a green transition, where battery energy storage systems will play a central role, and we need you to make it happen!
Capture Energy, a fast-growing Swedish company founded in 2023 and with 31 employees currently, aims to become a market leader in the Nordics in providing battery energy storage systems (BESS) for energy flexibility services - a market that is expected to experience significant growth in the coming years. With innovation at our core, we're building the digital infrastructure that powers the clean energy transition - starting with our next-generation platform, Capture Cloud.
As a small company today, we are able to operate very differently compared to the larger players on the market, which gives us a great competitive position. We are committed to bringing good energy to every setting where we operate: from our customers, partners, to our employees.About The Role
We're looking for a hands-on Tech Lead / Solutions Architect to take technical ownership of Capture Cloud - our cloud platform comprising scalable backend services and modern web applications powering battery energy storage solutions (BESS). You'll define and drive the overall solution architecture, primarily using .NET/C# on the backend, React/Next.js on the frontend, and Azure Cloud to host the platform. You'll also play a key role in transitioning from outsourced development to a high-performing in-house team.
This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll shape scalable, secure systems, bridge business needs with technical execution, and help us build smarter, greener energy solutions. You will not only design scalable, cloud-based software architecture but also actively contribute to backend development, mentor developers, and work across the stack when needed.
You will work closely with product, design, and business stakeholders to build smart, reliable, and secure software that enables the energy system of the future.
Skills and Qualifications
- Solution Design: Proven experience designing and developing web applications and backend-heavy, scalable cloud solutions, ideally hosted on Microsoft Azure.
- Software Development: Strong, hands-on experience in backend development using .NET/C#. Experience working with relational and time-series databases. Working knowledge of frontend development using React/Next.js or similar frameworks is a plus.
- Product Mindset: Ability to balance short-term product needs with long-term architecture vision. Ensure the Capture Cloud platform meets expectations for performance, availability, and data security — especially in high-uptime, distributed BESS environments.
- Cross-functional Communication: Ability to bridge business needs with technical execution and clearly communicate architectural decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Experience working closely with Product Management, UX/UI Design, and business stakeholders to translate product requirements into scalable technical solutions.
- Technical Leadership: Experience mentoring developers, guiding code quality, driving engineering best practices, and leading by doing.
- API & Microservices: Deep knowledge of RESTful API design, microservices, distributed systems, and system integrations.
- Security Best Practices: Solid understanding of security best practices, identity/access management, and system reliability in cloud environments.
- DevOps & Infrastructure-as-Code: Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Terraform, and Azure DevOps as part of end-to-end product delivery.
- Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
- 10+ years in software engineering, including 3+ years as a Tech Lead / Solution Architect role with backend or full-stack experience - ideally within SaaS, cloud platforms, or energy tech.
- Experience working in startups or scale-ups is a plus.
