• Provide technical leadership for junior engineers to ensure a high-quality software engineering capability within the team, collaborating both remotely and in person.
• Build the next generation of our electricity market modelling suite of tools, with the opportunity to introduce and use new technologies.
• Maintain and develop our data and technical architecture, optimising costs and performance as we scale.
• Work closely with Baringa users globally – providing support and learning their requirements for future development.

Your skills and experience

We’re looking for people to join the team who will be committed to designing and building high quality models, tools, data frameworks and computing architectures, whilst developing the skills of junior engineers to a high standard.

• You are passionate about working within the energy sector.
• You have practical leadership experience in a highly motivated engineering team(s).
• You have a strong quantitative background in subjects such as mathematics, physics, computer science, engineering, etc.
• You are great at problem solving and love learning new things to tackle the most difficult challenges.
• You are experienced in building complex systems.
• You have advanced working knowledge of general programming languages (Scala, Python, Java, C# etc.).
• You have working knowledge of data management platforms (SQL, NoSQL, Databricks/Spark, etc.).
• You have working knowledge of modern software engineering tools (Git, CI / CD pipelines).
• You love communicating complex concepts succinctly to both technical and non-technical colleagues and clients.

We’ve seen the research that says that some candidates will not apply to a role if they don’t meet every requirement. Don’t let this put you off, if you think you are a good overall match please do get in touch – we look carefully at all applications and you may well be our ideal candidate.

What a career at Baringa will give you

Putting People First.

Baringa is a People First company and wellbeing is at the forefront of our culture. We recognise the importance of work-life balance and flexible working and provide our staff amazing benefits. Some of these benefits include:

• Generous Annual Leave Policy: We recognise everyone needs a well-deserved break. We provide our employees with 5 weeks of annual leave, fully available at the start of each year. In addition to this, we have introduced our 5-Year Recharge benefit which allows all employees an additional 2 weeks of paid leave after 5 years continuous service.
• Flexible Working: We know that the ‘ideal’ work-life balance will vary from person to person and change at different stages of our working lives. To accommodate this, we have implemented a hybrid working policy and introduced more flexibility around taking unpaid leave.
• Corporate Responsibility Days: Our world is important to us, so all our employees get 3 every year to help social and environmental causes and increase our impact on the communities that mean the most to us.
• Wellbeing Fund: We want to encourage all employees to take charge and prioritise their own wellbeing. We’ve introduced our annual People Fund to support this by offering every individual a fund to support and manage their wellbeing through an activity of their choice.
• Career Progression: No one develops at the same pace. That’s why we have quarterly rather than annual promotion reviews. We don’t have any quotas: if you’re ready and delivering at the right level, you’ll get that promotion.
• Profit Share Scheme: All employees participate in the Baringa Group Profit Share Scheme so everyone has a stake in the company’s success.
