Software Engineer (Connect Platform)

ABOUT ENODE

The grid was built for predictable, centralised power. Today it's absorbing intermittent supply from grid scale solar and wind, alongside dynamic demand from EVs, heat pumps, and home batteries. The missing piece is software that can connect and orchestrate these devices at scale.

Enode https://enode.com provides the infrastructure layer that makes this possible. Our Connect https://enode.com/connect API gives energy companies a single integration to 1000+ devices across 80+ brands. Our optimisation https://enode.com/optimize tooling gives energy companies the building blocks to manage those devices locally - think smart charging for EVs. Our Flex https://enode.com/flex product turns those connected devices into a flexible, controllable asset for energy companies.

We work with device manufacturers across the energy hardware ecosystem - from EV brands to heat pump and solar inverter producers. Our customers are energy retailers, utilities, and traders building the next generation of energy services. We're backed by Y Combinator, Lowercarbon Capital, and Creandum.

The decisions made now will shape how the energy system gets built. We're looking for people who take ownership, move fast, and care deeply about the role technology can play in the energy transition.

AI IS FUNDAMENTAL TO HOW WE WORK

AI is how a team our size keeps rewiring the way we work, fast enough to match what our mission demands. We look for people who reach for AI as a reflex and who can drop a habit that used to work. People who care about unblocking others, not just about what they ship themselves. If that's not quite how you work yet but it's the direction you're heading, we'd still like to hear from you. We assess this in our interview process, alongside everything else we look at.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

We're hiring a Backend Engineer to make Enode's EV platform more reliable, observable, and efficient.

As a Mid Level Backend Engineer on the Platform Connect team at Enode, you'll focus on improving the reliability, observability, and scalability of Enode's connectivity layer. This is the part of our API that aggregates integrations with EV chargers, vehicles, and OEM platforms into one cohesive and reliable product for our customers.

This is not an infrastructure or DevOps role. The Platform Connect team owns the product level platform that powers connectivity at Enode, maintaining and extending the layer that links our users to energy devices through consistent, high quality integrations.

You'll work on both new integrations and platform improvements: fixing bugs, building automations, improving monitoring and alerting, and helping make our API more robust as we scale to support more OEMs and partners.

Our tech stack centers around a TypeScript based codebase combined with React, Node, AWS, Docker, and PostgreSQL, structured via CDK/CloudFormation.

In this role, you will:

• Build and maintain API integrations with OEMs and other energy partners, ensuring they are reliable, performant, and well tested.
• Improve the connectivity platform by reducing incidents, enhancing observability, and strengthening the foundations that make our API resilient.
• Build with AI as a normal part of how you work, from triage through to code, and turn what you learn into reusable tools and skills the rest of the team can pick up.
• Develop automations and internal tools to streamline integration monitoring, triage, and testing.
• Contribute to defining SLAs, monitoring, and alerting practices that improve reliability and reduce manual work.
• Participate in discussions to align platform priorities with product needs, ensuring a strong balance between stability and delivery.
• Foster a collaborative and supportive team culture by sharing knowledge, refining best practices, and working closely with engineers across Enode.

THIS ROLE WILL BE RIGHT FOR YOU, IF:

You see AI as a strategic lever for engineering work, not just a productivity add on. AI is a real part of how we work as engineers at Enode. We expect you to be comfortable using it day to day, understanding where it helps and where it falls short, and starting to think about your work in terms of what AI can take on. If you're not fully there yet, you're genuinely eager to get there. Additionally:

• You have experience writing maintainable, testable backend code, ideally in an environment with a lot of API or integration work.
• You're excited about platform engineering in the product sense. Building the connectivity layer that powers integrations, not managing infrastructure or CI/CD pipelines.
• You're comfortable using AI day to day, you understand where it helps and where it falls short, and you're starting to think about your work in terms of what AI can take on. If you're not fully there yet, you're eager to get there.
• You enjoy both building new integrations and making existing systems more reliable and observable.
• You're …
