The energy transition must happen fast! That’s what a lot of energy suppliers think as well, and they’re making it happen. More and more energy comes from wind and the sun. But what if the weather doesn’t cooperate? If there’s sudden demand, but no wind, what do we do?
Tell me more…
You probably know about the electricity grid, which has to maintain a certain balance. If there’s more demand than there is supply, the grid is outbalanced. Same thing for a lack of demand on a sunny day. Energy suppliers balance this by adjusting the price and turning on more batteries. But that’s not a really productive system, especially with unpredictable factors like the weather and sudden demands.
This company uses AI-based forecasting and optimization services for energy companies. Their software makes renewables more predictable and more profitable. And their system is so ridiculously good, that their growth is booming like a landmine. And where can you find more potential than in the market for renewables?
I want to step in now. But what can I do?
In order to build the best software that makes expansion possible, they need a team of ambitious and capable people. You will be the Data Engineer, to design and deploy continuous improvement of their applications to the Kubernetes cluster. You got full responsibility for the innovation of development for their tooling for automated monitoring, altering and integration testing. Still following me? Time to build something big, while keeping the quality as high as they promise!
I want to do that! But am I good enough?
You got experience in a software engineering environment, and use that to your best. But more important is your drive to get this business to the next level, and to see the potential it has. That makes that you keep thinking in possibilities and to improve where it can. The linux environment you work in, together with modern CI/CD systems, are familiar enough for you to get going.
Alright then, but what’s the pay like?
Within this business, that grows faster than a wildfire in Greece, everyone wants to get in as fast as possible. That gives a lot of privileges in the future, for instance, that you get your own team after a while. But for now, the payment is already pretty well funded, with a yearly salary that could reach €100.000 gross. The highly motivated and entrepreneurial team makes it a great place to work, and as I said, the sooner you get in, the more it pays off. So what about a call with one of our consultants?
