This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Staff Engineer – Pricing based in Italy. This is a high-impact staff-level engineering role focused on building the pricing infrastructure behind a modern energy transaction platform. You'll own the backend and data-heavy systems responsible for pricing real energy contracts, where correctness directly affects financial outcomes and performance builds customer trust.
You'll shape a new Pricing API from initial architecture through production readiness and eventual third-party access. The role combines backend engineering, numerical systems, data, reliability, and product thinking in a highly consequential domain. You'll also lead significant architectural decoupling, establish engineering standards, and influence technical direction across teams without relying on formal management authority.
The environment is remote-first, collaborative, and focused on using modern AI-assisted engineering workflows to increase team productivity. Accountabilities:
Build, evolve, and operate the Pricing API, ensuring it is fast, reliable, accurate, explainable, and ready for third-party consumption . Lead the extraction of pricing logic from surrounding systems into a dedicated service, establishing clear and maintainable boundaries with neighboring teams. Manage significant architectural migrations and decoupling initiatives while protecting existing functionality and minimizing disruption to dependent systems. Own pricing reliability by designing detection, monitoring, and alerting systems that identify incorrect or slow prices before they reach customers.
Ensure every pricing failure can be understood and explained, creating robust mechanisms for diagnosing why a quote cannot be produced. Improve pricing performance and reduce quote latency across the customer experience through architectural and technical optimization. Act as a senior technical author
