ABOUT ZENOBE
Our goal is to make clean power accessible, to accelerate the shift to zero carbon power and transport.
We’re transforming grids to enable the take up of more renewables, electrifying fleets for cleaner air, repurposing electric vehicle batteries for clean portable power and using proprietary software and data analysis to optimise operational performance for our customers.
We have 225 MW of operational and under construction grid scale battery capacity and over 30% of the UK’s EV buses, and are expanding our operations in Australia, New Zealand, US and Europe. We’re a rapidly growing company looking for talented people to join us.
THE OPPORTUNITY
An exciting role for an experienced software engineer with a rapidly expanding company in the green tech sector. This role will initially be focussed on integration projects based on node.js and AWS serverless components.
We are looking for someone capable and happy both working on their own and/or as part of an agile development team, using Scrum. Someone happy to learn about new technologies who would always seek to use the right tool for the job, rather than stick with what they know. Someone who thrives in a fast-paced start-up environment and is happy turning their hand to whatever is needed at the time.
You will initially be implementing all aspects of unique integrations via new microservices, with a view to you being involved in building and leading a team as needs grow. Whilst primarily back-end focused, some front-end work will be required.
This role is home-based with regular meetings in Portsmouth and London, along with office space to use as you choose.
