## Description (the employer's text)

### 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
### What we need from you

- You are a self-starter who enjoys working in a fast-paced startup environment
- You have several years of professional software engineering experience building and operating production backend systems
- You have experience designing and architecting distributed systems
- You have a “you build it, you run it” mindset and are familiar with Linux, Docker and Kubernetes
- You have strong backend experience with Go or another modern programming language (We primarily use Go, but prior Go experience is not required)
- Experience with asynchronous / event-driven systems. Experience with NATS, Kafka, RabbitMQ or MQTT is a plus
- Solid understanding of SQL and NoSQL databases; experience with InfluxDB or Timescale is a plus
- You communicate clearly and confidently in English
### What we offer

- Competitive hardware including a standing desk, 4K curved screen, and MacBook Pro
- City center office location including home office option
- EGYM Wellpass membership support
- Educational budget for every employee
- Team events, summer & winter parties
