Are you a skilled backend developer, passionate about the environment, who wants to help us build a solid data platform for solar plants and battery optimization?

Society is facing the biggest challenge in the history of mankind. The climate crisis calls for fast replacement of fossil fuels, and our ability to deploy more renewable energy is fundamental to meeting the 1.5-degree target.

Sunday Power’s mission is to accelerate the energy transition with smart renewable energy. Our ambition is to be one of the world’s most efficient companies in originating, deploying, and operating solar PV assets.

We are a small but dedicated team (currently 14 people) working out of our brand-new offices in central downtown Oslo. During the past two years, we have signed and deployed multiple solar plants across Norway, as well as developing technology that improves operational efficiency and provides customers with a data platform that lets them report on their sustainability impact.

Our tech team is hard at work on improving it, and we’re now looking for an additional Backend Engineer to round out the team.

What will you do as a Backend Engineer at Sunday Power?

As our new Backend Engineer, you will become an important part of our Tech team (currently 4 people, 2 nationalities), reporting to our CTO Håkon. We have both senior (Cognite, Schibsted, Spacemaker) and junior profiles (fresh out of university), all highly passionate about and driven by our mission and the impact we have created.

You will be working especially close with our CTO Håkon, but everyone on the team is happy to help and share their experience and expertise when needed. Your main responsibility will be developing our cloud and data engineering platform, but in addition, you will also be involved in planning our product strategy and finding new ways to make solar and other green energy solutions smarter and more profitable. Our very best ideas are yet to be had!

We're still a small team working closely together and believe that we'll find the best solution if everyone participates in researching the problem and designing the solution. We, therefore, work with more high-level long-term goals and define and prioritize our tasks accordingly to continuously focus on the most important tasks at hand. For the future (as we grow bigger) we will adapt our process as needed, leaning towards more agile ways of working.

All our work is in English with no Norwegian needed, and we are very open to internationals. That being said, we believe we can build the best culture if everyone works primarily from the office, so this is not a fully remote position - but we all work from other locations for a day or a week every now and then.

Your tasks will include (but not be limited to):

• Integrating data from multiple sensors and third-party APIs into our cloud platform

• Tasks related to data science, MLOps, and battery optimization

• Figuring out what our users want, need, and should want

• Help prepare our services for rolling out to new markets in Europe

• Build our company and engineering culture

Our current tech stack:

• Backend: Python, Databricks, GraphQL, Google Cloud

• Frontend: Javascript, Typescript, React

Are you a great fit for the role?

We imagine that you have a couple of years of experience as a backend/full-stack developer, or data engineer. As a person, you are a team player with a passion for building great products, and not afraid to take ownership and drive some of our work. You are passionate about building a great product and creating real impact in the world.

In order to succeed in this role, we believe you match the following:

• 2+ years of experience developing back-end applications and a university degree where you were coding / alternatively 5+ years of experience

• Experience with Python

• Experience with at least one system language (C++/Java/Scala/Rust/C# etc.)

• Like to work on tasks related to design, data science, and infrastructure

• You are based in Oslo, or willing to move here from the EU (We cannot assist with or wait for visas for people located outside)

If you can check off one or more of the following as well, you might be a perfect fit:

• Cloud experience (especially Google Cloud)

• University degree in Computer Science or related field

• Interest/experience in Open Source

• Experience in data engineering

• Industry experience in solar, power, renewables, prop-tech, or the real estate business

• Startup experience

• Experience with the rest of our tech stack

Why you want to join us?

Sunday Power is still young, but with a proven track record and high ambitions, we aim to be the very best at what we do. By joining Sunday Power you will not only become a part of a fantastic and highly skilled team, but you also enter a startup that is truly making a difference in the world. And this is your chance to help us pave the way.

Our working culture is Nordic - we have a flat hierarchy where everyone is encouraged and expected to participate in discussions about the direction and strategy of the company.

We recently moved into brand new offices in central Oslo - with a coffee machine that gives more than great coffee, free lunch (typical Norwegian style) that we eat together in our kitchen, and a rooftop terrace on the 9th floor, where we like to take our Friday beers to celebrate the end of the week.

To sum it all up with this role we offer you:

• The chance to be part of a once-in-a-lifetime startup journey

• To join a passionately driven and caring team

• Competitive remuneration, that includes a combination of base salary + stock options

• Super-central downtown Oslo locations in new office space (with rooftop terrace)

• Free lunch and great coffee!

• Free choice of laptop and cell phone

Joining Sunday Power at this point is a huge opportunity to be part of something bigger, together with a team of passionate people.
