Senior Software Engineer - (Connect Platform)

About Enode

The grid was built for predictable, centralised power. Today it's absorbing intermittent supply from grid scale solar and wind, alongside dynamic demand from EVs, heat pumps, and home batteries. The missing piece is software that can connect and orchestrate these devices at scale.

Enode provides the infrastructure layer that makes this possible. Our Connect API gives energy companies a single integration to 1000+ devices across 80+ brands. Our optimisation tooling gives energy companies the building blocks to manage those devices locally - think smart charging for EVs. Our Flex product turns those connected devices into a flexible, controllable asset for energy companies.

We work with device manufacturers across the energy hardware ecosystem - from EV brands to heat pump and solar inverter producers. Our customers are energy retailers, utilities, and traders building the next generation of energy services. We're backed by Y Combinator, Lowercarbon Capital, and Creandum.

The decisions made now will shape how the energy system gets built. We're looking for people who take ownership, move fast, and care deeply about the role technology can play in the energy transition.

What we're looking for:

We’re hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to make Enode’s EV platform more reliable, observable, and efficient.

As a Senior Backend Engineer on the Platform Connect team at Enode, you'll focus on improving the reliability, observability, and scalability of Enode's connectivity layer. This is the part of our API that aggregates integrations with EV chargers, vehicles, and OEM platforms into one cohesive and reliable product for our customers.

This is not an infrastructure or DevOps role. The Platform Connect team owns the product level platform that powers connectivity at Enode, maintaining and extending the layer that links our users to energy devices through consistent, high quality integrations.

You'll take on complex, critical for the business work and see it through, helping keep our platform robust as we scale to more OEMs and partners. Alongside the other senior engineers on the team, you'll help set the technical bar and support the people around you. Expect to move between hands on building, shaping technical direction, and helping teammates, depending on what the team needs most.

Our tech stack centers around a TypeScript based codebase combined with React, Node, AWS, Docker, and PostgreSQL, structured via CDK/CloudFormation.

In this role, you will:

• Build and maintain API integrations with OEMs and energy partners, ensuring they are reliable, performant, and well tested.

• Strengthen the connectivity platform by reducing incidents and improving observability, monitoring, and alerting, including the automations and internal tools that make this easier.

• Take on complex projects and drive them through to release, breaking them into actionable work and delivering with limited hand-holding.

• Help hold a high bar on code quality, testing, and observability, caring about the state of the codebase beyond your own changes.

• Work with product and the team to align platform priorities, balancing stability with delivery.

• Take ownership beyond your own work and support the engineers around you, sharing knowledge and contributing to technical decisions that keep the team aligned.

This role will be right for you, if:

See AI as a strategic lever for engineering work, not just a productivity add on. AI is a real part of how we work as engineers at Enode. We expect a senior engineer to be fluent with it. Using it day to day, understanding where it helps and where it falls short, and thinking about your work in terms of what AI can take on. If you're not fully there yet, we're looking for someone eager to get there fast. Additionally:

• You have experience writing maintainable, testable backend code, ideally in an environment with a lot of API or integration work.

• You're excited about platform engineering in the product sense. Building the connectivity layer that powers integrations, not managing infrastructure or CI/CD pipelines.

• You enjoy building new integrations and making existing systems more reliable and observable, and you're systematic about debugging issues across services and preventing them from recurring.

• You communicate clearly, contribute to technical discussions, and can explain complex topics to non technical stakeholders.

• You take ownership beyond your own work and care about the team. You share knowledge, support teammates, and help improve how the team operates.

What we offer:

• Opportunity to join and impact an early-stage climate tech startup with global aspirations as we scale.

• A mission-driven, fun and caring environment with high drive and ambition.

• Competitive compensation, including a very attractive employee option program - you’re part of our journey.

• Access to best in class AI tooling, we think the ceiling on what a small team can do has fundamentally shifted, and we want you to feel that.

• Remote-first in Europe, with the option of attending an office in Oslo or receiving a co-working pass on demand.

• Three annual off-sites to connect with the team in exciting & fun places.

• Flexible, human-first culture.

• Stipend for setting up your home office.
