SaaS platform for energy suppliers, aggregators, and traders managing green electricity markets
Lumenaza operates a white-label SaaS platform serving energy suppliers, municipal utilities, and electricity traders across Germany's energy transition. The tech stack is Python-heavy (Django, testing via Robot Framework, Selenium, Pytest, Playwright) with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), reflecting a monolith-to-microservices migration underway. Leadership is hiring primarily for engineering and ops roles at senior levels, while adopting n8n for workflow automation—indicating effort to reduce manual process burden as the platform scales billing, market communication, and virtual power plant coordination.
