Job description

Great to meet you. We're Energetica, an end-to-end platform for everything to do with enterprise energy and renewables. Buying, selling, analysing, optimising, working towards net zero… you name it. We do it all, and we do it across 30+ countries for some of the world's biggest names.

We're a small (but rapidly growing) team, hyper-focused on building up and scaling our technology both here and globally, and we want smart, focused and hardworking people to join us as we head towards the next stage of our evolution.

Built and managed here in Australia, we are leading the way in technology for the energy and sustainability sector and looking for like-minded individuals who want to roll their sleeves up and get in at the ground floor of an exciting journey.

Our engineering smarts are what makes us different, and it's critical that every member of our engineering team not only loves what they do, but are bloody brilliant at it.

The purpose of this role is to help us keep our platform at the forefront of the market by building enhancements and supporting our clients.

For this position, we want you to convince us that you'll be fantastic at the following:

Understanding customer needs and requirements quickly and coming up with clever ways to address them while pushing the system’s overall capabilities forward.

Building and supporting software with a modern, distributed architecture across multiple customers/tenants.

Picking up complex new concepts rapidly.

Testing new stuff that doesn’t quite work yet and working with us on improving it.

Staying positive and productive around stress and tight deadlines which are unavoidable in a rapidly growing company.

Providing feedback and discussing solutions in a constructive and collaborative way.

As we're a small startup, you will be open to:

Getting involved in a little bit of everything: from customer support, to testing the system, and all the way through to energy analysis

Working hard, but also smart

Helping us plan and execute our product vision

Working closely with all levels of the team, from the founder onwards

You’ll need to have at least some of the following experience:

Real production system development on any stack, ideally using a type-safe language (full disclosure, we mainly use a mix of TypeScript + React on the frontend, and Kotlin/Java on the backend)

Familiarity with computer science concepts that are relevant to everyday software construction

… but we don't require you to be:

An energy expert – (fantastic if you are, but we're also more than happy to train you up!)

A rocket scientist, or a PhD in quantum physics (but we won't hold it against you)

We offer the following:

On-site or remote work anywhere within 3-4 hours of flying time to Melbourne (however, if you're actually located in Melbourne, this would be ideal as we are in the office 2-3 days a week)

The opportunity to work with some smart people and to be part of something very big.

A great salary appropriate to your experience.

If this all sounds like something you'd be interested in, tell us why and we'd be very happy to hear from you!
