Willi Richert, VP of Technology — flexa
Hi there!
I'm Willi, VP of Technology at flexa. I've spent the last 15 years building engineering teams around systems that have to make good decisions fast and at scale. Most recently at Lyft, where I led the mapping organization — 30+ engineers across five countries — and we moved more than 96% of rides off Google Maps onto our own mapping product. Before that I worked on machine learning and conversational AI at Microsoft Bing, and I did a PhD on learning in heterogeneous robot groups, which is a long way of saying that distributed decision-making has held my attention for a while.
What pulled me to flexa is that it's the same class of problem with something physical at the other end. We dispatch energy of the Enpal customer fleet in real time against energy markets. If our infrastructure is a few seconds late or a few percent off, customers lose money and the grid gets less flexibility than it could have had. That makes cloud engineering a first-order product concern here rather than a supporting function — which is why this role sits close to the decisions that actually matter.
How I work: I'd rather hand you the whole problem, context and constraints included, than a ticket. I care that engineers can see the consequences of what they build, and I'll be direct with feedback and expect the same back — the fastest way to lose a year is for everyone to stay polite about an architecture that isn't working.
You won't find everything already built. Some of it is greenfield, some of it needs replacing, and you'll have real influence over which is which. If that sounds like your kind of problem, I'd like to hear from you — and if you're not sure your profile is a perfect match, apply anyway and let's talk.
Looking forward to meeting you, Willi
You will drive and own the roadmap for developing algorithmic execution strategies in the German intraday power market. As our VPP infrastructure matures, you will steadily increase your focus on research on execution-price improvement and market-impact modelling.
Your software-engineering work will centre on architecture design, testing, and project coordination.
