Full Stack Engineer

Project description

You will join the development of an advanced digital twin platform for the energy transition, designed to unify energy and climate-related data into a single, comprehensive solution.

The platform supports stakeholders involved in energy transformation by providing data-driven insights and decision-making tools. It addresses key challenges such as CO₂ balancing, renewable energy expansion, power grid planning, and municipal heating strategies.

Built on a modular and scalable architecture, the solution enables complex analytics and supports real-time insights in a rapidly evolving energy sector.

• Python (ETL-related components)
• PostgreSQL
• Redis (Key-Value stores)
• gRPC & REST APIs
• Docker & Kubernetes
• AWS (cloud infrastructure)
• RabbitMQ / AWS SQS (event-driven architecture)
• NestJS
• Angular / Svelte (collaboration exposure)
