Purpose of the role

In this role, you are responsible for designing, implementing and owning the reliability, automation, security and scalability foundation of the EnergySwap platform. You help build the technical platform layer that enables stable product delivery, secure operations and structured international growth. You make a direct contribution to operational scalability, product development, system reliability and EnergySwap’s ability to scale its cloud-native platform across multiple countries.

How you work within EnergySwap

You are part of the Product & Technology team and work closely with the CTO, Architect / Lead Developer, Full-stack Developers and Product Owner. Within EnergySwap, we expect you to take ownership of your own work and actively contribute ideas on collaboration, processes, improvement and growth. As a startup, roles are broader than in a traditional organisation. This means you are expected to combine hands-on delivery with platform thinking and to help professionalise the engineering organisation as we scale. We are looking for people who want to build: entrepreneurial, independent, results-driven and pragmatic. People who show ownership, communicate clearly, collaborate well and are energised by an environment where growth, change and ambition are central.
