• Collaborate with the product owners, analysts and tech lead to gather and analyze requirements, and design software solutions that meet business needs.
• Lead some backend developments. Implement new features and bugs resolution in the backend codebase, including among others algorithm, servers, APIs (Rest API, GraphQL, …) and databases.
• Participate in containerization (Docker), container orchestration (Kubernetes, Helm charts, Argo, …), continuous integration & continuous deployment aspects. You will also improve the usage of the monitoring and logging solutions such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for our products.
• Ensure the high-availability, scalability, robustness and high performance of our Energy applications.
• As a Software Engineer, you will also participate in the technical growth of the product and team. You will therefore:
• Stay up-to-date with emerging technologies, industry trends, and best practices in software development.
• Depending on your seniority level, you may also mentor junior developers, providing technical guidance and fostering their growth within the team. Contribute to a positive and inclusive work environment, promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing.
