Job description

Senior Software Engineer – Trading Systems | Clean Energy | Remote | €85,000 + Bonus

Ready to use your software skills to power the next generation of clean energy?

This leading Greentech scale‑up (backed by £250m+ in funding) is building trading and monitoring systems that optimise how clean energy is traded, stored, and delivered across global markets.

They’re expanding their offshore engineering team and are open to people within ±3 hours of London – including Portugal, Poland, Serbia, Romania, Moldova, and beyond.

The Tech?

Python is the core language, but if you’re a strong engineer from another stack, they’ll give you 3–4 weeks to upskill – they hire for capability, not just code syntax.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing automated trading systems for green energy markets
• Building realtime bidding, dispatch, and optimisation tools
• Creating microservices that connect trading platforms and grid operators
• Building monitoring dashboards for grid stability and energy storage operations

What they’re looking for

• Strong software fundamentals — ideally Python, Rust is a bonus
• Experience with distributed systems, REST APIs, and microservices
• Knowledge of Kafka (or similar), PostgreSQL, and time‑series data
• Familiar with Docker, monitoring, and observability tools
• Experience in a startup or scale‑up, collaborating closely with engineers in a fast‑moving environment

Bonus points if you’ve worked in energy markets, trading systems, industrial control, or IoT.

This is a permanent, fully remote role offering competitive pay, a bonus scheme, and the chance to shape a pioneering clean energy project with real‑world impact.
