What you’ll do

We have lots of difficult design challenges to solve. The French energy market is complicated, outdated and process-heavy - there’s an awful lot of domain modelling that we need to get right. Strong attention to detail is essential.

We have difficult technical problems to solve. With the advent of smart meters, we’ll soon be processing millions of meter readings a day. We need the right technology in place to handle this smoothly as well as feeding data into a machine learning pipeline that models and predicts consumption.

You’ll be working for a company that’s fighting climate change

As a supplier, we’re helping people to use greener technology and renewable energy, all helping move the French market towards a lower carbon future.

What you’ll have

• HTTP and REST APIs
