Senior Software Engineer

What’s It All About?

The balance of power in the energy industry needs to change. The intermittency of renewable supply and the constant demands of the grid mean that we still rely on less efficient, more expensive, and unsustainable fossil fuels to keep the lights on.

At Gridfuse, our mission is to shift this balance through technology. We want to shift the balance of inputs so that renewables become the world’s main source of electricity.

At Gridfuse, we develop the software that controls real renewable energy assets and turns them into a coordinated Virtual Power Plant (VPP) that can respond intelligently to energy markets and grid conditions.

Your Impact

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will build the systems that connect our platform to these assets and turn energy-market and grid requirements into real-world actions.

Your code will influence when batteries charge or discharge, how renewable assets respond, and how reliably these assets can participate in the electricity system.

You will own and evolve core parts of the Control services, working closely with other software engineers and our renewable-energy experts.

The Role

• Design and build distributed control systems that coordinate fleets of batteries, wind turbines, and solar plants.
• Translate complex energy-market and grid requirements into reliable software behavior.
• Build services responsible for communicating with physical assets and processing their telemetry, status, and capabilities.
• Design systems that continue to behave predictably when devices fail, networks are unreliable, messages arrive late, or assets become temporarily unavailable.
• Build highly observable and resilient services that operate continuously in production.
• Take your services from architecture and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and operation.
• Work closely with energy-market specialists to understand the problem and turn it into pragmatic technical solutions.
• Make architectural and technical decisions that balance reliability, scalability, simplicity, and delivery speed.
• Mentor other engineers and raise the technical bar across the team.

What We Need From You

• You are a self-starter who enjoys working in a fast-paced startup environment.
• You have several years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production backend systems.
• You have experience designing and architecting distributed systems.
• You have a “you build it, you run it” mindset and are familiar with Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• You have strong backend experience with Go or another modern programming language. We primarily use Go, but prior Go experience is not required.
• You have experience with asynchronous and event-driven systems.
• Experience with NATS, Kafka, RabbitMQ, or MQTT is a plus.
• Solid understanding of SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Experience with InfluxDB or Timescale is a plus.
• You communicate clearly and confidently in English.

What We Offer

• Competitive hardware: Including a standing desk, 4K curved screen, and MacBook Pro.
• City-center office: Convenient office location with a home office option.
• EGYM Wellpass: Membership support to help you stay active.
• Educational budget: Dedicated learning and development budget for every employee.
• Team events: Including summer and winter parties.
• Real startup culture: Have a meaningful impact as part of a small, motivated team.
