Role overview

We are a clean energy company. We build our own batteries and aggregate them and other third-party energy storage devices (including Electric Vehicles) on a Virtual Power Plant to optimise their behaviour and maximise savings for the end customers by optimising household consumption behind the meter and participating in wholesale energy markets at a fleet level using ML. In doing so we provide part of the flexibility that the Grid needs in order to maximise the usage of renewable energy and to unlock mass adoption of EV technology.

Our mission is to manage the world's batteries. 

The role

You will be joining a small, focused and collaborative team of talented developers that act autonomously to provide the features that the company needs to succeed in its mission. Those include any subset of: 

- Solving complex optimisation problems, using machine learning and other often bespoke algorithms.

- Building the required platform infrastructure to ingest and process big streams of data in real time, using AWS primitives.

- Designing and implementing the business logic to expose our functionality via APIs and UI interfaces, using functional programming and serverless computing.

- Developing the firmware for our hardware devices including optimisation on the edge and integrations with third party energy storage devices, using embedded Linux and Rust.

You will be encouraged to work and grow your knowledge on multiple parts of the stack according to your personal interests and abilities. Our team has a strong tradition of using functional programming and type systems to build pragmatic and flexible systems to satisfy business requirements.

We are committed to equality and to paying equitably for equal work.

You should be

- Happy working in a small, fast moving team, in which your individual initiative and contributions can have a big impact.

- Motivated and enthusiastic, open to learn new things.

- Self-starter, managing own workload and deadlines.

Required skills

- Functional programming experience in at least one strongly typed language.

- Unix operating systems

Advantages

- Experience in any of: Typescript/Haskell/Rust.

- Interest in the energy sector or IoT.

- Familiarity with AWS tools.

- Familiarity with Nix.

- Familiarity with frontend frameworks such as React/ReasonML/Reflex/Elm.

This role can be fully remote inside the GMT +- 2 timezone (core hours between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. UK time). Our offices in Farringdon (London) and Manchester will remain available for any employees that wish to use them on a part-time or full-time basis.
