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
- Proficiency in multi-paradigm languages with OOP expertise (C#, Java, Python or Go) and SQL, with experience in cloud platforms (Azure) and data tools (Kafka, Databricks, Spark, Flink, Delta Tables, …)
- Hands-on work with large-scale data pipelines, stream processing (MQTT, Kafka, Flink), and database systems (MongoDB, Redis, relational DBs)
- An operational excellence mindset: You prioritize uptime, ensure robust disaster recovery, and balance rapid prototyping with production-grade reliability, excelling in complex and ambiguous environments
- You communicate clearly in English, spoken and written. Crisp and concise ways of formulating your ideas and opinions. Knowledge of German is a plus
- Mission alignment: You’re motivated by sustainable energy and agile principles—prioritizing code, reducing waste, and iterating through feedback
What the job involves
- As a Senior Software Engineer (Data), you’ll solve complex challenges at the intersection of renewable energy and scalable technology. Your work will span:
- Data-driven platforms: Design systems to process terabytes of time-series data, build high-performance ETL pipelines, and optimize cross-domain data lakes using Delta Lake/Medallion architecture
- Cloud-native solutions: Deploy event-driven micro-services, IoT integrations, and stream processing (Kafka, MQTT) on Azure, while automating infrastructure with Terraform and Kubernetes
- Full-stack impact: From digitalizing solar panel planning with intuitive frontends to scaling APIs for real-time energy analytics, you’ll bridge gaps between architecture and user needs
- We offer speed, agility, steep career growth and ownership. Our vision thrives on cross-functional collaboration between engineers, product teams, and operations – turning bold ideas into lean, customer-centric solutions
- Building and scaling systems that handle hundreds of TBs of data, ensuring normalization, aggregation, and transformation into actionable business insights
- Improving developer velocity through automation (CI/CD, Datadog monitoring) while balancing MVP pragmatism with long-term stability
- Partnering with stakeholders across domains – from craftspeople to sales teams – to architect solutions that solve organization-wide challenges
- Growing through feedback, learning and experimentation, whether you’re refining graceful degradation strategies or exploring Azure Bicep
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.
The company's debt funding in 2024 added more power to an already highly impressive valuation of $2.35 billion and will help it continue on its rapid growth trajectory. As one of the fastest-growing green-tech companies in the world, Enpal also holds the status of becoming Germany’s first renewable energy unicorn company as more people across Europe make the change to renewable energy.
