Software Engineer - Energy & Resources Analytics Platform in City of London

We set out to build the world’s most trusted consulting firm – creating lasting impact for clients and pioneering a positive, people‑first way of working. We work with everyone from FTSE 100 names to bright new start‑ups, in every sector. You’ll find us collaborating shoulder‑to‑shoulder with our clients, from the big picture right down to the detail: helping them define their strategy, deliver complex change, spot the right commercial opportunities, manage risk, or bring their purpose and sustainability goals to life.

Our Market Advisory & Analytics practice are looking for an experienced Software Engineer to join the team. Baringa are world leaders in modelling energy markets and using the insights these models provide to drive change in a decarbonising energy industry. We deal with highly varied modelling, data, and processing — everything from kilobytes of academic papers to terabytes of hourly scenario projections for 50+ years.

Our staff come from diverse backgrounds, based across multiple geographies, and utilise a variety of technologies, tools and analytical modelling approaches. They need rapid access to data, analytics outputs, and processing through GUIs, APIs and other systems, whilst being given the confidence that everything is compliant, licenced and well‑governed.

We are looking for experienced software engineers to become core members of the new Platform team, working closely with the Engineering Lead. You will be working within our Energy and Resources group to:

• Actively contribute to the design, build and ongoing development of a new data platform, with associated tools and software – this will be almost entirely greenfield opportunities to create a holistic user experience for Baringa staff.
• Support the Engineering Lead as we engage tool developers, energy system modelers, client‑facing energy experts, and users across the business to build a platform and supporting toolchain that fulfils the needs of our Baringa colleagues.
• Undertake the development, automated testing and deployment of the new platform, following best practices to ensure that quality, reliability and monitoring is built‑in from inception.
• Support the building of a DevOps pipeline with robust CI and CD practices, with a focus on evolving our processes to improve our team’s engineering experience.
• Engage in the team’s agile development approach, from refinement through to demonstration and feedback, helping to continuously improve our team’s processes as we grow and mature.
