Backend & Cloud Engineering Intern – Energy Tech Startup

Salary Unpaid

Edgy Systems is building the next generation of energy management software — integrating solar PV, batteries, heat pumps, and other distributed energy resources (DERs) into a unified platform for installers and building owners. Our mission is to make clean energy assets work together seamlessly, bridging operations and grid optimization.

We’re looking for a motivated engineering intern to help us develop the first version of our platform. This is a hands-on role combining backend development and DevOps/cloud engineering — ideal for someone who loves learning, building fast, and solving real problems.


What you’ll do

  • Develop backend services in Python (FastAPI) and data pipelines for time-series and asset data.

  • Implement connectors to APIs and protocols (Victron, MQTT, Modbus, etc.).

  • Build and maintain cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure).

  • Set up CI/CD pipelines, Docker images, and basic monitoring.

  • Contribute to authentication, API performance, and scalability.


What we’re looking for

  • A university student who can sign an internship agreement.

  • Experience or interest in Python, APIs, and cloud infrastructure.

  • Curiosity for clean energy and digital solutions.

  • A builder mindset: someone who enjoys taking ownership and learning by doing.


What we offer

  • A hands-on role in an early-stage climate tech startup.

  • Direct mentorship from the founding team.

  • Real impact, since your work will shape the foundation of our platform.

  • Potential to join the team in a leadership role once we secure funding.


This is an unpaid internship, fully remote or hybrid depending on your location.

Edgy Systems AB – Making Energy Systems Work Together Overview Edgy Systems AB is building a hardware-agnostic monitoring and management platform for distributed energy assets such as solar panels, batteries, heat pumps, and HVAC systems. The platform provides a unified interface that allows installers, service companies, and multi-tenant building owners to monitor, analyze, and optimize the performance of their installations, regardless of manufacturer or protocol. By integrating all assets into a single ecosystem, Edgy Systems helps installers save valuable technician hours each week, prevents asset downtime, and builds trust with customers through transparency and actionable insights. The Problem The transition to electrified and distributed energy systems is accelerating, but the digital management layer has not kept pace. Today, both installers and property owners face major inefficiencies: For Installers: - They must use multiple OEM portals to monitor the assets they install, one for heat pumps, another for solar panels, batteries, EV chargers, and so on. Switching between these platforms wastes several technician hours every week and complicates workflow management. - Lack of central alerts: Installers often fail to notice when a system is underperforming or has an active alarm because there is no unified feedback mechanism. - Scaling limitations: The installation business is inherently resource-intensive. Growth depends on the speed and efficiency of teams, which are limited by manual coordination and fragmented digital tools. - Customer dissatisfaction: Since installers cannot easily share transparent performance data, their customers (typically tenant-owners’ associations or small industries ) may lose trust or perceive the investment as opaque. For Tenant-owners’ Associations and Industrial Users: - They often lack visibility into performance metrics of their solar, HVAC, or storage systems. Reports, when available, arrive monthly or yearly. - There is rarely a clear cost-benefit analysis that shows whether their energy investment delivers expected savings. - They want to optimize energy use and manage assets efficiently but struggle to find service providers capable of analyzing heterogeneous setups. - Tenants or residents don’t see real-time results, which reduces engagement and the perceived value of sustainability initiatives. The Solution - Edgy Systems offers an open, AI-assisted platform that connects all energy assets into a single dashboard. - Unified monitoring: A single pane of glass for all assets, independent of vendor or protocol. - Automated alarms and reports: Intelligent notifications ensure no downtime goes unnoticed. - AI-powered integration: Machine learning helps create and validate data connectors faster, reducing the engineering effort required to add new device types. - Transparency for customers: Real-time dashboards and cost-performance analytics increase trust and demonstrate tangible results. - Scalability for installers: By centralizing monitoring and automating reporting, installers can manage more installations with fewer resources. Why It Matters The energy industry is becoming decentralized, but the tools used to manage installations remain siloed and inefficient. Installers lose time and revenue potential, while customers cannot verify the value of their investment. Edgy Systems bridges this gap by providing the digital backbone for the modern energy ecosystem. It enables: - Faster, data-driven maintenance and installation scaling. - Lower operational costs through automation. - Smarter decisions for property owners based on transparent performance data. - A foundation for AI-driven energy optimization and predictive maintenance.
