Python Backend Engineer

The Gig

OGRE AI is a ML-based tech company striving to transform the utilities sector by providing reliable production and consumption forecasts to all key utility fields (energy, gas, heating and water). Currently, several major players on the energy market are leveraging our ML algorithms in order to optimize their acquisitions. Our final goal is to make the market as efficient as possible, in the meantime reducing costs for the final consumer, reducing waste and lowering carbon emissions.


Our tech team is composed of very passionate engineers, striving to create a scalable and user-friendly platform. We all come from strong academic backgrounds (some of us have carried research at Oxford, Cambridge and Berkeley) and have expertise in complementary fields, to develop Ogre as a well-rounded product.



We asked our colleagues to describe 3 things they like most about working at Ogre – the most recurrent aspects were:

1. the work, which is participatory and applied, with a healthy culture of collaboration and orientation towards problem-solving;

2. the clear allocation of tasks and responsibilities, and

3. being able to work on a technology of great impact for the future, flexibly.

We are looking to expand our team by bringing a new experienced and self-driven developer to build the Ogre forecasting platform together with us.



We value an engineering, hands-on spirit, above anything else.

We offer continuous opportunities for building quality software in the dynamic environment fostered by the team.



We are flexible with the working schedule & also with working remotely. Currently, we have an ultra-modern office in Bucharest, in one of the Globalworth buildings.

We work with Python for our backend and our ML side and with ReactJS on the frontend. The chosen architecture solution is based on micro-services and we are using AWS cloud to achieve high standards of responsiveness, reliability and scalability.
