Company Description

At Enpal, we are pursuing the dream of building the largest renewable community in Europe. How do we make that happen? Enpal finally simplifies providing solar energy: We rent out solar systems, electricity storage, and wall boxes at an all-inclusive rate, supplemented by a favorable green electricity tariff; all intelligently connected to form an integrated overall solution. True to the motto "digital, decentralized, and 100% renewable", our heart beats both for the rapid development of a company and for combating the greatest challenge of our generation - climate change. 

As a Frontend Software Engineer you will work on complex problems in delivering renewable energy solutions: from internal tools to customer-facing solutions, you will play a pivotal role in developing robust, high-performing, and captivating frontends. Moreover, you will actively contribute to our broader company-wide initiative aimed at aligning UI libraries, enhancing our design system, and ensuring product accessibility for all users. Your work will not only involve creating exceptional user interfaces but also helping shape the holistic user experience and usability of our products. 

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, making 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 building, testing, deployments. 

• growing & learning. Have you worked on building a platform-oriented product with micro-frontends? We would love to learn what worked and what didn't. Are you keen to learn more about test-driven development in React, managing UI libraries with Storybook? We are here to support your growth. 

• 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. 

We are looking for roughly 50% fit for what we ask. The other 50% is a surprise to us, it is the magic you bring to the table and the diversity in which you make us grow:. 

• you have over 2 years of experience in software development 

• you are experienced in JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS and React. If your Typescript skills are work in progress, please feel encouraged to apply regardless. 

• your experience with NextJS, Azure, Flutter, SalesForce, DevOps, Terraform, C# or NodeJS is a plus. 

• you communicate clearly in English, spoken and written. Crisp and concise ways of formulating your ideas and opinions. Knowledge of German is a plus. 

• you are inspired by the energy transition and want to make a difference. 

• you want to participate in a company where empowerment and initiative is valued. We are looking for people who want to grow their personal skills and knowledge, take responsibility, steer and influence for what they feel is right. 

• agile and lean values are embodied by you. People over processes. Code over documentation. Reducing waste by building minimum viable products first, testing it with real users, growing and maintaining solutions as requirements evolve. 

Even if you don't meet all the requirements listed above, we encourage you to apply. We believe that diverse perspectives and experiences enrich our team and foster a culture of continuous learning and growth. Your unique background and skills might be exactly what we need! 

We're offering:

• The chance to be part of a fast-growing and future-oriented startup: we are one of the biggest players in the solar business. 

• Help to make the world a bit better: we are all about green energy. 

• Work with the best in the industry and grow with us: there’s plenty of room for your ideas. 

• Fail fast, fail often: iterating fast will give you the opportunity to constantly learn from mistakes, identify the right solution, improve the software quality and in the end continuously grow as a developer. 

• A hybrid work model, the ability to come to our Berlin office every now and then for in person discussions and events, or to be there all the time - you decide.
