You should have a long‑term commitment to advancing the energy transition and be driven to build robust, scalable systems that power our grid modelling platform. Passionate about creating highly performant back‑end services, you understand the technical challenges associated with building niche B2B products that handle complex computational workloads. In addition to seeking out people with a proactive, problem‑solving attitude and an eye for detail, as a growing organisation, collegiality and empathy for our coworkers are a requisite. While we are a rapidly growing tech startup, we are also a non‑profit, so a high level of adaptability and willingness to approach challenges with creativity and curiosity is essential.
About the role: You will line‑manage a small team of engineers while remaining a highly active individual contributor. You will own the technical shape of engineering work on the back‑end team — leading planning, architecture, and code quality. You will work closely with the wider product and engineering team to design, develop, and maintain the back‑end services that power our platform. This hybrid role is based out of our London office near Waterloo Station and reports to the Head of Platform.
Responsibilities: Back‑end development
Lead Engineer employer: TransitionZero
