Rust developer at renewable energy start-up

About us

At simpl.energy we’re on a mission to accelerate decarbonisation through electrification despite existing limitations of our electricity grids. We do so by providing insights into our customers' power peaks and by mitigating them through smart steering of flexible assets like batteries, charging stations, heat pumps, and more. Combining our cloud-hosted energy management system (EMS) and a local gateway enables this at scale.

We are looking for a versatile software engineer who can solve hard problems in code elegantly and efficiently. Your focus will be on the cloud-hosted parts of our Energy Management System while working closely together with the local gateway developers.

You need to have an intrinsic sense of curiosity and a huge sense of adventure as we are entering uncharted territory. Smartening our electricity grids will accelerate the energy transition and will make it more economical than many realize.

• Engage in healthy discussions on functionality and quality and don't refrain from receiving and giving constructive feedback.
• Come to the office at least two times a week.
