• We expect you to write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code, adhering to best practices in software development.
• You will participate in code reviews, providing and receiving constructive feedback to ensure code quality and knowledge sharing across the team.
• Debugging and troubleshooting complex issues in production environments will be a critical part of your role, ensuring the reliability and performance of our platform.
• You will contribute to the continuous improvement of our development processes, tools, and infrastructure, helping to build a more efficient and effective engineering organization.
• The opportunity to work remotely from DE, ES, or FR adds flexibility, allowing you to contribute from your chosen location while being an integral part of our London-based team.
• We are looking for individuals with a general interest in technology and a passion for problem-solving. Diligence, thoughtfulness, and a keen attention to detail are essential qualities for success in this role.
• You will be contributing to a platform that is not just managing energy but actively shaping the future of how energy is produced, distributed, and consumed, making a tangible difference in the fight against climate change.
• This is more than just a software engineering job; it's a chance to be part of a movement, to apply your technical skills to solve some of the world's most pressing environmental challenges, and to build a career in an industry that is undergoing a profound and exciting transformation.
• You will be working with cutting-edge technologies and methodologies, constantly learning and adapting to new challenges and opportunities in the energy tech landscape.
