Job Description

As a (Senior) Software Engineer - Node.js (f/m/d) you will work on complex problems in delivering renewable energy solutions: from digitalizing the planning of installation of solar panels with compelling frontend applications, to building APIs supporting real time energy data, all the way to scaling and operating cloud infrastructure in Azure.

We offer speed, agility, and steep career growth. Our vision to make sustainable solar energy available to everyone can only come to live through our customer and product oriented view, and the cooperation between software development, product management and lean, experiment-driven business development.

Join us to develop your professional skills, take part in the energy revolution, and let us take ownership of the sustainable change we want to see in the world together! We are looking forward to your application.

At Enpal, you would be

• building software. We are serious about delivering incremental value in each iteration, and we celebrate when we improve people's experience with our solution, make an impact towards our climate goals.
• improving developer happiness. Nobody wants to stay up until midnight to deploy new solutions, or run the same regression tests manually day in, day out. We're about improving stability, automating as much as we can including load tests and vulnerability scans.
• growing & learning. Do you know all there is to know about Kafka or are you experienced on graceful degradation? We’d love to learn from your knowledge. Feel like you're behind on test-driven development in React, is Azure Bicep new to you? We’ll make sure you grow through our knowledge.
• working on architecture & vision. We are fusing old and new technologies; cloud-native microservices, IoT applications, a Salesforce backbone, an event-driven architecture. This means we analyze new requirements critically to see which moving parts would have to change, explore opportunities to solve organization-spanning challenges with elegant architectural solutions.
• steering for empathy and understanding. Only when we comprehend what the market needs we can create solutions that truly address underlying challenges. Ask critical questions and listen to operations, craftspeople, sales - there are so many stakeholders and users to get input from, and balancing their needs leads to the best solutions.

• End-to-end Ownership: You can independently set up and manage pipelines, infrastructure and deployment of your code, without relying on dedicated DevOps/Infrastructure team.
• Cloud Infrastructure Experience: You have enough experience working with cloud infrastructure to be able to manage the full implementation of these services into your projects.
• Tech Stack Flexibility: While our core technologies include C# and Node.js, we welcome candidates with diverse tech backgrounds. What matters most is your eagerness to learn and work with our stack upon joining.
• Microservices & Architecture Design: You have experience with microservice architecture and strong knowledge of software architecture design patterns, including Event Driven Architecture.
• Additional Tech Experience: Experience with React, MongoDB, Flutter, and Salesforce is a bonus, though not required.
