WHO WE ARE:

Heimdall Power is a fast-growing Norwegian tech company established in 2016. We have global ambitions and are already present in several European countries as well as the US and Asia. We provide solutions to optimize power grids worldwide, promoting a swift, secure, and affordable transition to green energy. Our unique offering combines software and sensors to increase grid capacity and monitor asset health. By enabling the more efficient use of existing infrastructure, we reduce carbon footprints while creating value for society, industry, and our shareholders.

THE POSITION:

We are looking for a Senior Backend Software Engineer to help shape and deliver the core software powering Heimdall Power's grid operations platform. You will play a key role in designing and developing scalable backend services that enable real-time data processing, grid insights, and operational insights for utilities worldwide.

This is a hands-on senior engineering role focused on building backend services and software components that integrate with utility operational systems. You'll contribute to data pipelines, APIs, and automation that help our customers operate the power grid more efficiently and safely. This includes implementing aggregation techniques for time-series data, developing features that improve both user-facing insights and developer observability, and building robust backend infrastructure that supports both cloud and customer-hosted deployments.

You'll join a team that values clarity, simplicity, and long-term maintainability. We work from a monorepo, use shared infrastructure and tooling, and apply Domain-Driven Design (DDD) to ensure our software accurately reflects the complexity of the energy grid. We aim to build things once—and build them right.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Software Development: Design, implement, and maintain robust backend services using modern technologies and best practices
  • Architecture & Design: Contribute to system design decisions, ensuring modularity, scalability, and maintainability
  • Grid Integration: Build services and components for data ingestion, processing, and integration into customer operational systems
  • Data & Observability: Implement time-series aggregation, developer observability, and user-facing insights using the Grafana stack
  • Collaboration: Work closely with other engineers, product managers, and domain experts to deliver complete solutions
  • Continuous Improvement: Identify areas for performance optimization, automation, and architectural improvements

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
  • 5-8+ years of experience in backend development, ideally in distributed systems or data-intensive applications
  • Strong proficiency in C# and .NET is required.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (preferably Azure) and containerized environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and system observability
  • Strong experience with relational databases (especially PostgreSQL); bonus if you've worked with time-series data and PostgreSQL extensions such as Citus

SKILLS:

  • Strong sense of ownership, autonomy, and accountability
  • Pragmatic engineering mindset with attention to quality and performance
  • Ability to take initiative and work independently in a cross-functional setting
  • Comfortable working across data, APIs, infrastructure, and observability layers
  • Passion for sustainability, innovation, and building systems that have real-world impact

WHAT WE OFFER:

  • Competitive compensation package
  • An energetic and dynamic work environment
  • A chance to work with top-tier technology and contribute directly to the green transition on a global scale
  • Professional Development: We strongly believe in the growth and development of our employees. At Heimdall Power, you will be given the necessary tools to grow as a person and a professional
  • Work-life balance: We offer flexible working conditions, allowing you to balance your professional and personal life

At Heimdall Power, you will contribute to technology that supports the global transition to clean energy. If you are excited about solving complex challenges and building impactful software that makes a difference, we would love to hear from you!

Heimdall Power

In Norse mythology, Heimdall is the all-seeing, all-knowing watchman who guards Asgard, the home of the gods. He possesses extraordinary abilities to see for hundreds of miles, hear the faintest of sounds, and stands vigilant at the Bifrost, the rainbow bridge connecting Asgard to the world of mortals, ready to sound the Gjallarhorn at the first sign of danger. Much like the mythical guardian, Heimdall Power ensures the safety and efficiency of power grids. Founded in Norway in 2016, we provide accurate, cost-effective monitoring of both grid capacity and health. We achieve this through advanced grid-enhancing technologies, combining world-leading sensors (Neurons) and software (Heimdall’s Brain) to optimize the performance and reliability of energy networks. Our unique autonomous drone installation system facilitates safe, quick, and scalable deployment worldwide. With our help, grid operators can unlock up to 40% more capacity in their high-voltage power grids while simultaneously improving operational safety. Our technology equips you to meet the increasing demand for electricity while reducing the need for expensive infrastructure upgrades.
