What's it all about?

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

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 behaviour
Build the 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
