## Description

Senior Software Engineer - Trading Systems | Clean Energy | Remote | €85,000 + Bonus

Ready to use your software skills to power the next generation of clean energy?

This leading Greentech scale-up (backed by £250m+ in funding) is building trading and monitoring systems that optimise how clean energy is traded, stored, and delivered across global markets.

They're expanding their offshore engineering team and are open to people within ±3 hours of London - including Portugal, Poland, Serbia, Romania, Moldova, and beyond.

The Tech?

Python is the core language, but if you're a strong engineer from another stack, they'll give you 3-4 weeks to upskill - they hire for capability, not just code syntax.

What you'll be doing

 * Designing automated trading systems for green energy markets
 * Building realtime bidding, dispatch, and optimisation tools
 * Creating microservices that connect trading platforms and grid operators
 * Building monitoring dashboards for grid stability and energy storage operations

What they're looking for

 * Strong software fundamentals - ideally Python, Rust is a bonus
 * Experience with distributed systems, REST APIs, and microservices
 * Knowledge of Kafka (or similar), PostgreSQL, and time-series data
 * Familiar with Docker, monitoring, and observability tools
 * Experience in a startup or scale-up, collaborating closely with engineers in a fast-moving environment

Bonus points if you've worked in energy markets, trading systems, industrial control, or IoT.

This is a permanent, fully remote role offering competitive pay, a bonus scheme, and the chance to shape a pioneering clean energy project with real-world impact.
