Role
Who you are
- We are looking for roughly a 50% fit with for what we ask. The other 50% is a surprise to us, it is the magic you bring to the table and the diversity in which you make us grow
- We are looking for proactive engineers that will make the lives of our customers and Enpal itself better
- You have over 8 years of experience in software development
- You are either experienced in C#, or with a broad range of languages including for example Java and Go
- You have work experience with building cloud-native applications
- You feel comfortable with roughly half of the following technologies: Azure, React, Flutter, Salesforce, Terraform, Kubernetes, event-driven architectures
- You communicate clearly in English, spoken and written. Crisp and concise ways of formulating your ideas and opinions. Knowledge of German is a plus
- You are inspired by the energy transition and want to make a difference. We are one of the biggest players in the solar business and want to make this change with you
- You want to participate in a company where empowerment and initiative is valued. We are looking for people who want to grow their personal skills and knowledge, take responsibility, steer and influence for what they feel is right
- Agile and lean values are embodied by you. People over processes. Code over documentation. Reducing waste by building minimum viable products first, testing it with real users, growing and maintaining solutions as requirements evolve
What the job involves
- As a Staff Engineer you will be solving complex technical problems impacting thousands of customers. Examples of the problems we are working on: building real-time systems for operating energy devices, introducing new product lines in our home energy management system, implementing tooling for a multi-channel sales, or scaling and operating cloud infrastructure by introducing a shared Kubernetes cluster in Azure
- Staff Engineers at Enpal thrive while providing direction and setting the bar for quality for technical problem solving. They are hands-on role models driving impact with delivery and architecture. They excel at taking ownership of complex projects and drive impact across multiple teams and domains
- Building software. We are serious about delivering incremental value in each iteration, and we celebrate when we improve people's experience with our solution, make an impact towards our climate goals
- Stability driving architecture and technical vision. We are fusing old and new technologies; cloud-native microservices, IoT applications, a Salesforce backbone, an event-driven architecture. This means we analyze new requirements critically to see which moving parts would have to change, explore opportunities to solve organization-spanning challenges with elegant architectural solutions
- Growing and learning. Do you know all there is to know about Kafka or are you experienced on graceful degradation? We’d love to learn from your knowledge. Feel like you're behind on test-driven development in React, is Terraform new to you? We’ll make sure you grow through our knowledge
- Improving developer tooling. Nobody wants to stay up until midnight to deploy new solutions, or run the same regression tests manually day in, day out. We're about improving, automating as much as we can including load tests and vulnerability scans
- Steering for empathy and understanding. Only when we comprehend what the market needs we can create solutions that truly address underlying challenges. Ask critical questions and listen to operations, craftspeople, sales - there are so many stakeholders and users to get input from, and balancing their needs leads to the best solutions
Our take
Rising electricity prices and increasing demand have led to renewable energy adoption to rapidly become mainstream, however obtaining a home solar power system can be complicated, time-consuming, and expensive. With a mission to bring affordable green energy to everyone, Enpal provides homeowners with an all-in-one solar solution that is both easy and affordable.
The company rents out solar power systems, saving customers from paying high acquisition costs and instead paying a flat monthly rental fee for their customised solar solution that covers all costs (including planning, installation, maintenance, and more), and includes a green electricity tariff.
As one of the fastest-growing green-tech companies in the world, the company is valued at $2.35 billion and holds the status of becoming Germany’s first renewable energy unicorn company. Enpal is looking toward further funding rounds to enable continued rapid growth as more people across Europe make the change to renewable energy.
