Return (https://return.energy)
is hiring a software engineer who will work on platforms that
accelerate the transition to carbon-free energy. Return’s main
activities are building and operating industrial-size Battery Energy
Storage Systems and solar plants. Our operations are located in the
Netherlands, Germany, and Spain. You will be making a measurable
(country-level) impact on the transition to renewable energy.
While
our ventures employ over 120 people, Return’s technical team is still
small (6 people). Our platform automates processes in sales, project
management, procurement, construction, customer service, and energy
production and trading.
During the first two years of operation,
we laid the foundation for our platforms, and we are ready to scale up.
This is why we are looking for an experienced software engineer.
You
will be working on the areas that matter most to our ventures and that
match your expertise and interests. Your primary focus will be to
further develop a specialized set of process management tools that
supports the business in planning, building, and operating
industrial-scale batteries.
Our tech stack is straightforward:
Postgres, Rails 7.x (soon 8), Turbo, Stimulus, and a refreshing lack of
React. Our web apps are hosted on Render. We tend to keep meetings to a
minimum in order to provide at least five hours of uninterrupted coding
time per day. We practice code reviews and apply automated and manual
testing. The web apps and platforms are deployed multiple times per day.
Return
has offices in Amsterdam, Hamburg, Munich, and Madrid. We are very much
open to working remotely as long as you live in the EU. Our hiring
process is swift but thorough: a 30-minute call to get acquainted and
discuss financials, one or more technical interviews, and a paid visit
to Amsterdam to meet the team.
The tech team members have
co-founded several companies and/or have experience with remote
development teams since 2008. They will personally help you through most
of the recruiting process (there is no recruiter involved).
