Job description

The Tech Stack Deep-Dive
Core Platform & Ecosystem:

  • Backend: .NET / Enterprise C#
  • Frontend: Angular
  • DevOps & Delivery: Azure DevOps

Must-Haves:

  • 10+ years in software delivery with significant product-building experience.
  • Proven track record owning system-level technical decisions (architecture, database strategy, modularity).
  • Experience with high-integrity systems where auditability, reproducibility, and correctness are contractual (e.g., financial, settlement, metering).
  • Ability to absorb, validate, and own offshore/partner-supplied technical specifications.
  • Strong commercial literacy (pricing, packaging, cost-to-serve, business cases).

Nice-to-Haves:

  • Domain knowledge in energy trading, power markets, or electricity utilities (wheel, imbalance, market bidding).
  • Multi-tenant/multi-customer product design experience ("one codebase, multiple customers").
  • Hands-on experience driving AI-assisted engineering workflows.
  • Experience managing legacy-replacement programs and data migration at scale.

Key Responsibilities (Keep it brief)

  • Drive Technical & Product Direction: Set architectural boundaries, build-vs-buy strategies, and maintain a unified codebase across multiple enterprise customers.
  • Own the Functional Spec: Validate, test, and adapt complex ETRM specs provided by specialist European partners to align engineering, delivery, and commercial goals.
  • Lead Prototyping & Demos: Drive a design-partner approach by demonstrating early working software to prospective customers and converting feedback into testable requirements.
  • Build & Scale the Team: Structure delivery teams, hire talent (including a dedicated analyst and tech leads), and establish strong code review and quality disciplines.

Why Join Us?

  • True Autonomy & Impact: You are not executing someone elses rigid tech visionyou get to challenge assumptions, decide the architecture, and own the platform roadmap.
  • Greenfield Product Engineering: Transition a proven energy utility business into a modern product-led organization backed by approved funding.
  • High-Domain Complexity: Work on massive real-world engineering problems involving real-time energy trading, renewable integration, and settlement accuracy
