- Stay current on trends in software engineering, renewable energy, and grid technology to drive innovation.

Requirements

- 5+ years of software engineering experience, focusing on large-scale, real-time systems.

- Strong proficiency in Python, with excellent coding, testing, and debugging skills.

- Experience building and maintaining APIs, distributed systems, and data pipelines.

- Solid understanding of SQL and NoSQL database design and deployment.

- Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with diverse teams, including engineers, data scientists, and energy market experts in a distributed working environment.

Strong Plus (any of the following)
