Software Engineer - job 2 of 2

Optimising a 100% renewable energy future is our vision. Limejump is a technology platform that manages a large renewable energy network. Our portfolio delivers clean energy to businesses and homes, using renewables and stored energy when it’s needed to meet demand.

We connect and manage 100% renewable energy through the intelligent control of renewable generators, such as wind turbines and solar panels. We work closely with renewable asset owners, buying their energy and then selling it onto the UK’s grid, giving them simple access to the power market. But, the sun isn’t always shining and the wind isn’t always blowing. We must therefore capture energy for times when there is high demand. By harnessing big data and renewable technology, we accelerate the UK’s transition to net zero carbon emissions.

About the role:

Limejump seeks a software engineer to help us change the world of energy. We’re looking for someone excited about both green energy and software development to help tackle our reconciliation engine, a core piece of our platform strategy that ingests, curates, and exposes accurate time series data that’s used to drive billing, trading and our data science.

The data is delivered in real-time, across hundreds of data sources in minute-level blocks, compiled against different customers with different processes, and combined with the complex nature of the energy industry in the UK and abroad. It’s quite the engineering challenge, and we could use some help.

Your contribution would be more than just code: our team develops its architecture by consensus, so you’d be informing design decisions from day one. We also have a culture of mentorship across the company, so you’d be expected to help others in advancing your skills while also having the opportunity to learn from engineers more experienced than yourself.

Essential Requirements:

• 3+ years back-end software development experience, some of which with Python
• Experience working with relational databases, e.g. PostgreSQL
• An open and collaborative attitude with a desire to help others
• A passion for Limejump’s vision of a sustainable future, and a commitment to our values
