Senior Software Engineer (Go) - Energy Trading & Renewable Storage - Up to £95k - Hybrid
Lead Energy Storage & Trading Systems Engineer
About the Role
Work at the intersection of trading, battery storage, and renewable energy.
In this role, you’ll tackle major challenges in energy storage, modelling the performance of grid-scale battery behaviour and supporting Energy Traders in decision-making—when to discharge or convert battery-based energy for grid optimisation.
While this is an engineering role first, it offers cross-disciplinary opportunities, including:
- System design
- Mentoring junior engineers
- High-level architectural decisions
- End-to-end project leadership
This isn’t a specialist role—you’ll need a Senior Engineer mindset, seeing beyond your immediate task to understand complex microservices interactions.
Success here requires: ✔ A hands-on, curious approach to problem-solving ✔ Comfort with ambiguity and a willingness to explore broader impacts ✔ Adaptability to address issues outside your core focus
