We're looking for a Software Engineer who enjoys tackling complex, ambiguous problems, is willing to dig into the detail, and has the stamina to see tough issues through to resolution. We value strong critical reasoning and learning agility at least as much as a specific technology background.
You'll be joining a small, high-impact team that enables energy suppliers to communicate with smart meters and so unlock all the downstream benefits from that such as delivering major onboarding programmes for energy suppliers.
This role involves a mix of engineering delivery and operational problem-solving. You’ll investigate emergent issues that can span our software, smart meters, client systems and DCC services, and you’ll rotate as a business-facing point of contact for client queries. You’ll primarily work in Ruby (with some Java), and you’ll build up strong domain knowledge in smart metering regulations and specifications. Expect a steep learning curve - with plenty of support from the team.
Development work will involve designing & implementing fixes to issues as they arise, developing solutions to client requests along with managing the changes that evolve from a complex operating environment. Whilst this may seem challenging at first, we appreciate that there is a lot to learn in this space and are committed to providing the training and support so that you can thrive.
