About Working at envelio
Too easy is boring! Together, we are on a mission to drive forward the energy transition. We love what we do, and we are unafraid to dive in. We believe in taking ownership of our work and in continuously growing and evolving. In short: own it, love it, grow with it. We are a humble team of coffee and maté lovers with over 20 nationalities. With our geek humor, our love for emojis and random facts is only natural. Over 150 envelians are already on board. Dive in and thrive!
Your Role
As Senior Backend Engineer Electrical Engineering (all genders) you will be part of an engineering squad with strong knowledge of electrical engineering, coding, databases, and software architecture. Additionally to your software engineering work, you will be acting as an expert for electrical power systems towards internal and external stakeholders, especially regarding general domain knowledge of electrical grids and relevant calculation methodologies. Together with the team, you drive the topics surrounding electrical power system engineering and electrical/mathematical models and algorithms, have an impact on the experience of our users, our organization, and our engineering practices.
