Data-focused software engineer

We are looking for a versatile software / data engineer who can solve hard problems in code elegantly and efficiently. Your focus will be on the control algorithms of our Energy Management System. Part of the control algorithms could also be developing algorithms that enable us to trade electricity. You will be working closely together with the cloud developers in order to get your algorithms into production.

• Developing event-driven lego blocks of code that perform flexible asset planning, energy trading and more.
• Use statistics and data insights to improve or develop new control algorithms.
• Create and maintain a simulation model to test new control algorithms.
• Creating resilient, reliable, and efficient software.
• Be responsible for running your code in production.
• Striking a balance between constant improvement and speed of development.
• Share knowledge with your colleagues.
• Curiosity in the fields of AI and what it can do for our control algorithms.

• Knowledge of efficient planning or optimization algorithms.
• Forecasting and planning is done in Python, experience is desirable.
• Not fearing or frowning upon other languages. Most other parts of our platform are coded in Rust, which you might look at every now and then.
• General comprehension of electricity markets is favorable.
• Be pragmatic one moment, stick to your principles at other times.
• Engage in healthy discussions on functionality and quality and don't refrain from receiving and giving constructive feedback.
• Come to the office at least two times a week.
• Be a pleasant team member and actively seek collaboration.
• Wholeheartedly support the energy transition.
• Fluent in Dutch.

Competitive salary package including a solid share-based component to benefit from the potential upside. Besides, we offer travel compensation for commuting and customer visits. Also, compensation for courses to improve your skills (including soft skills). Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday drinks with your colleagues and a remarkable annual trip with the whole team.

At simpl.energy we’re on a mission to accelerate decarbonisation through electrification despite existing limitations of our electricity grids. We do so by providing insights into our customers' power peaks and by mitigating them through smart control of flexible assets like batteries, charging stations, heat pumps, and more. The combination of our cloud-hosted energy management system (EMS) and local gateway enables doing so at scale.
