• Experience with, or a strong interest in, software development for Energy Storage Systems (ESS) or industrial systems.
• Experience working within an Agile software development environment.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams.
• A proactive mindset and a continuous drive to learn, improve, and develop yourself.

What do we offer?

At Alfen, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the energy transition by working on innovative technologies that have a direct impact on the energy infrastructure of tomorrow. In addition, we offer:

• A competitive salary and an excellent benefits package.
• 27 vacation days plus 13 additional ADV (reduction of working hours) days per year, with the option to sell up to 10 vacation days annually.
