Role
Who you are
- You ideally have a bachelor or masters in a technical relevant area (computer science, engineering, or similar with exposure to software development),
- Alternatively you have a minimum of 2 years of experience in IT projects and architectural design of digital products
- Experience in designing and implementing data-intensive applications. Coding experience with python and pandas is a plus
- Proficient in system integrations with extensive knowledge of various integration technologies (including REST API, JSON, XML, SOAP, File Transfers (SFTP/FTPS)) and one of the major cloud providers (preferably AWS)
- Experience creating architecture diagrams, process maps and sequence diagrams. Working knowledge of architecture modelling tools and frameworks (e.g. UML, BPMN)
- Adept at balancing technical and client-facing roles, with the flexibility to understand both detailed data and the overarching picture
- Experience in the Energy & Utilities sector is a significant asset
- Fluent in English, both spoken and written, and open to travel once a month
What the job involves
- As the Technical implementation consultant, you are the primary technical point of contact for the customer and project stakeholders, ensuring seamless delivery of our innovative solutions from inception to go-live
- In partnership with the project manager, energy consultants, and the data engineering team, you elevate the delivery of IT projects, providing technical support and training during design phases and translating functional requirements into technical specifications
- In your role you lead customers in improving their business processes and architecture to be future proof with a focus on flexibility, automation and scalability
- You actively contribute ideas for process improvements, propelling Gorilla's professional services forward and striving to keep improving the efficient delivery of implementation projects

- Create technical documentation and diagrams. You advise on the integration game plan, maintaining the architecture coherently throughout the project lifecycle
- Give high-quality technical demos towards prospective clients and partners
- Translate technical project details into understandable language for both technical and non-technical participants. Challenge energy clients and engineers on requirements, integration architecture, scalability, and risks, ensuring all assumptions are scrutinised and all possibilities explored
- Analyse and comprehend the energy client’s business, infrastructure, and tech stack to define integration blueprints, actively participating in workshops with different stakeholders
- Work closely with our Energy Consultants for end-to-end process mapping, providing additional support during design phases and briefing formula designs to engineers

- Collaborate closely with colleagues, fostering a spirit of co-creation and teamwork
Salary benchmarks
Our take
If an energy provider is to scale over time, it is essential for it to take great care in conducting forecasts, reports and pricing that reflect the current state of the market. The most recent market data is used to achieve this, but such data is often not recent enough, and this can lead to great financial risk for energy providers.
Gorilla provides a data-driven analytics platform for energy providers, including tools for dynamic pricing, forecasting, and reporting that reflect real-time energy market data. The company claims that its technology can help energy providers increase their margins and mitigate risk, ultimately empowering them to streamline and scale their operations.
Whilst data-driven energy solutions are becoming increasingly common, these often concern areas such as sustainability or certificate trading, as opposed to Gorilla’s unique focus on forecasting, reporting and pricing. Through its tools, the company aims to help energy providers futureproof their operations, optimise revenue, and facilitate growth through accurate and rapid quoting.
