Job description

The DevOps Team at Enosi is responsible for the development of Enosi’s Powertracer Platform. At Enosi, the developers also own the operational support of the platform.

We have rewritten Powertracer to scale to over a hundred thousand households, businesses and generation sources, trading their energy and delivering traceability of supply to customers. At this scale we will be responsible for delivering the trading and tracing between supply and demand of electrical energy in the gigawatt hours a year range.

If you are ready to challenge an industry that has long lagged behind the innovation curve, and be part of driving emissions to true zero, we want to hear from you.

We are looking for recent university graduates, with a degree in software engineering, electrical engineering, telecommunications engineering or computer science, or if you have undertaken an alternative “learn to code”. You will join us as an Associate Engineer, with six month rotations in the different engineering domains:

• Infrastructure and observability engineering
• At the completion of the three rotations, you will have the opportunity to progress to a software or infrastructure engineer role in an area that interests you (notwithstanding business needs).

Examples of problems youll be solving

• Introducing new React components to Powertracer’s frontend
• Owning the introduction of new API features in our microservices
• Integrating new API features from microservices through the GraphQL interface for presentation in the front end
• Refining the observability capabilities across all services, including the front end
• Refactoring Terraform modules used in the deployment of infrastructure an applications

You are great because…

• Youve completed your degree or coursework in software engineering or related field
• Youve shown your interest in your career path through personal projects that go beyond the requirements of your education program
• You may have some professional software engineering experience, between one and two years
• You understand the importance of maintaining source code, in particular using git repositories (we’re a Github team)
• You are aware of the software development life cycle, particularly in a culture of continuous deployment (we love Buildkite)
• You understand the importance of clear documentation, and are willing to contribute to it
• Youve had experience working with cloud service providers (we use AWS, but the principles apply across the major providers)
• Youve learnt a little (or a lot) about how Terraform can make life easier
• Youve learnt a little (or a lot) about Go, and how it can be leveraged in serverless and container solutions
• Youve learnt a little (or a lot) about React and GraphQL, especially if you’ve built some projects with it
• Youve spent time working with Atlassian’s Jira and Confluence products
• You’re comfortable working remotely, communicating primarily over Slack (chat, voice and video)

You can show us your technical experience

We will want to understand more about your skills, including your engineering track record, experience across the software development lifecycle, agile methods, devops, incorporation of testing. Having some example work that could be reviewed would be appreciated.

If you enjoy researching, learning and understanding and then writing about new software or online services this job will give you the ability to work your own hours from home with a forward thinking progressive team.

You'll need

• good software skills,
• typing speed,
• desire to learn new software skills,
• be able to write several articles per week on a variety of different topics
• experience or understanding about remote work in accounting, bookkeeping and office administration
• ability to receive a writing brief and understand the key marketing objectives
• ability to work independently

Working Conditions

You'll have a large amount of past content to work with to create blogs with images and links and using relevant keywords. SEO is an important part of this work so any knowledge or understanding of SEO topics you have should be included in your resume and/or cover letter.

A great aspect of this job is that you'll learn about the very tools that help make employees and job seekers more valuable in light of the recent changes in most of our working lives. The team you'll work with have been working online remotely for over a decade so they have a lot of valuable knowledge and experience to share.

Ideal knowledge
