Backend Developer

Pushing boundaries for a sustainable future

Can clean-energy tech change the world? We say yes. Here’s why. The way we heat our homes today is responsible for 15% of all of Europe’s CO2 emissions. Switching to sustainable, clean energy solutions is the easiest and most impactful way households can play their part in net zero.

We are a next-generation home energy champion. We passionately believe that creating smart, sustainable homes is our way to make a positive impact in the world. Clean-energy tech is purposeful work. Urgent work. We’d love you to do it with us.

About the role

We are looking for a Backend Developer to help us create web- and digital applications that allow our customers to make informed decisions on how to improve the sustainability of their homes. You will help develop the features and applications that ensures a seamless customer journey from the moment that the customer has heard of our product to the point of installation.
Our team consist of three work streams focused on different areas:

- The website, to front what we do and why
- The sales journey, to guide the customer through the process from receiving a first solution estimate all the way to an installed product in their home
- Solution design & Installations, to build the tools needed to find an optimal energy solution and smooth installation

As our Backend Developer you will actively participate in ongoing discussions, write clean and scalable code, have a close collaboration with frontend developers and other areas, and build models, integrations, and other solutions to help our customers make sustainable choices.

What characterises us as a team:

- A senior team where everyone has a lot of experience to bring to the table
- A cross-functional team setup where developers work closely with designers and product people
- An open mindset where we trust each other to make decisions
- A will to try new ways of working. Sometimes we get it right and sometimes we agree that it might not have been our brightest idea
- Team lunch at least once a week and a daily coffee train down to the lobby to get the nicer coffee

Challenges we face together:

- A changing organisation where we need to be smart around how we organise not just as a team but also our infrastructure when it comes to both code and design. We need to be open to change things as they evolve and always have scaling in mind. We like to include the whole team in these kinds of discussions to gather input and experiences from everyone in the team
- An international market, meaning there are unique needs and regulations we need to follow for each and every country we are active in. Our team is a key player that provides the technical platforms for selling our products and we collaborate with teams across the whole company
- Finding new lunch spots that fit our growing team

What we would like you to have
From a technical perspective, we would like you to have (required skillset):

- Solid experience with product-driven software development and agile environments

- Rapid growth journeys (start-ups, scale-ups, new environments)
- Databases (DynamoDB/PostgreSQL)
- Event driven architectures (Kafka)
- Cloud DevOps (Docker, Kubernetes, continuous delivery, logging, metrics)
- gRPC and Protobuf
- Terraform
- Kanban

As a person we would like you to be:

- Entrepreneurial and confident
- Open-minded and initiative-taking
- A team player, motivator, and excellent communicator

What’s in it for you
