Job description

About Enode

The grid was built for predictable, centralised power. Today it’s absorbing intermittent supply from grid scale solar and wind, alongside dynamic demand from EVs, heat pumps, and home batteries. The missing piece is software that can connect and orchestrate these devices at scale.

Enode provides the infrastructure layer that makes this possible. Our Connect API gives energy companies a single integration to 1000+ devices across 80+ brands. Our optimisation tooling gives energy companies the building blocks to manage those devices locally - think smart charging for EVs. Our Flex product turns those connected devices into a flexible, controllable asset for energy companies.

We work with device manufacturers across the energy hardware ecosystem - from EV brands to heat pump and solar inverter producers. Our customers are energy retailers, utilities, and traders building the next generation of energy services. We’re backed by Y Combinator, Lowercarbon Capital, and Creandum.

The decisions made now will shape how the energy system gets built. We’re looking for people who take ownership, move fast, and care deeply about the role technology can play in the energy transition.

What we’re looking for:

We’re hiring a Backend Engineer to make Enode’s EV platform more reliable, observable, and efficient.

As a Mid Level Backend Engineer on the Platform Connect team at Enode, you’ll focus on improving the reliability, observability, and scalability of Enode’s connectivity layer. This is the part of our API that aggregates integrations with EV chargers, vehicles, and OEM platforms into one cohesive and reliable product for our customers.

This is not an infrastructure or DevOps role. The Platform Connect team owns the product level platform that powers connectivity at Enode, maintaining and extending the layer that links our users to energy devices through consistent, high quality integrations.

You’ll work on both new integrations and platform improvements: fixing bugs, building automations, improving monitoring and alerting, and helping make our API more robust as we scale to support more OEMs and partners.

Our tech stack centers around a TypeScript based codebase combined with React, Node, AWS, Docker, and PostgreSQL, structured via CDK/CloudFormation.

In this role, you will:

• Build and maintain API integrations with OEMs and other energy partners, ensuring they are reliable, performant, and well tested.

• Improve the connectivity platform by reducing incidents, enhancing observability, and strengthening the foundations that make our API resilient.

• Develop automations and internal tools to streamline integration monitoring, triage, and testing.

• Contribute to defining SLAs, monitoring, and alerting practices that improve reliability and reduce manual work.

• Participate in discussions to align platform priorities with product needs, ensuring a strong balance between stability and delivery.

• Foster a collaborative and supportive team culture by sharing knowledge, refining best practices, and working closely with engineers across Enode.

This role will be right for you, if:

You see AI as a strategic lever for engineering work, not just a productivity add on. AI is a real part of how we work as engineers at Enode. We expect you to be comfortable using it day to day, understanding where it helps and where it falls short, and starting to think about your work in terms of what AI can take on. If you’re not fully there yet, you’re genuinely eager to get there. Additionally:

• You have experience writing maintainable, testable backend code, ideally in an environment with a lot of API or integration work.

• You’re excited about platform engineering in the product sense. Building the connectivity layer that powers integrations, not managing infrastructure or CI/CD pipelines.

• You enjoy both building new integrations and making existing systems more reliable and observable.

• You’re systematic in debugging issues and improving the tools and processes that prevent them from recurring.

• You’re proficient in JavaScript/TypeScript (or eager to learn TypeScript) and comfortable working in a distributed systems environment.

• You communicate clearly, collaborate proactively, and contribute positively to team discussions.

• You’re curious, respectful, and growth oriented, someone who values teamwork, ownership, and continuous improvement.

What we offer:

• Opportunity to join and impact an early-stage climate tech startup with global aspirations as we scale.

• A mission-driven, fun and caring environment with high drive and ambition.

• Competitive compensation, including a very attractive employee option program - you’re part of our journey.

• Access to best in class AI tooling, we think the ceiling on what a small team can do has fundamentally shifted, and we want you to feel that.

• Remote-first in Europe, with the option of attending an office in Oslo or receiving a co-working pass on demand.

• Three annual off-sites to connect with the team in exciting & fun places.

• Flexible, human-first culture.

• Stipend for setting up your home office.

A few things to note:

• Enode is an equal opportunities employer. Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may just be the right candidate for this or other roles.

• Our values are integral to the way we work and are embedded into all our hiring processes. You can read more about our values here.
