Do you want to make a real impact by accelerating the transition to zero-carbon energy systems and work in a startup-like environment?

Elisa’s Smart Energy team is expanding rapidly, and we are seeking talented individuals to join our dynamic team of over 40 employees. Our multidisciplinary team leverages data and AI to address challenges posed by wind and solar energy becoming primary sources of power, through intelligently managed energy storage. We are providing solutions for the telecom sector (read more about it from www.elisa.com/des), homeowners (https://elisa.fi/kotiakku/) and Commercial and Industrial sector (f.ex Loviisan Lämpö).

As a Lead Software Engineer for C&I Energy Software, you will be leading the software development for our Commercial and Industrial products. The customers vary from major retailers using industrial-scale batteries to district heating plants with flexible power consumption.

We expect you to be fully hands-on, leading the architecture and actively contributing to the implementation. We’re providing a full range solution starting from site connectivity with IoT edge gateways running our software locally to the backend in AWS (built with Python) and ETL pipelines.

Elisa’s Smart Energy Team’s innovative AI-based solution optimizes energy storage assets, delivering financial, operational, and sustainability benefits to telecom, commercial, industrial and residential clients. We are not only helping businesses and individuals maximize their energy storage potential but also driving the green energy transition by enabling renewable energy production and stabilizing electricity grids.

Are you excited about transforming the energy ecosystem to a zero-carbon era? Do you enjoy developing new solution concepts from the idea stage to pilot installations and full-scale commercial launches?

If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you! We are functioning like a startup within the larger Elisa corporation, proving that it is truly possible to combine the perks of a lean startup business with the resources and financial stability of a corporation. As we are growing fast and changing all the time, you will have a great chance to evolve the role yourself.

What is the role all about?

• Lead the C&I architecture.
• Hands-on development.
• Work together with product management to understand customer needs and define the product requirements.

What do we expect from you?

• Minimum 10 years of experience in software engineering.
• Minimum a few years of experience in C&I domain (f.ex industrial automation)
• Solid experience with modern software design patterns and cloud-native , including distributed computing and data processing pipelines.
• Proficiency in Python
• Practical development experience in some major cloud platforms (AWS preferred).
• Understanding of energy markets including the balancing reserve markets would be highly valued.
• A DevSecOps and shift-left mindset and hands-on skills in IaC,  and CI/CD.
• Experience with data and analytics platforms, preferably Databricks, and building data pipelines.
• Good communication skills and fluency in English.

Most of our team is based in Helsinki (some in Tampere and Turku), but like the rest of the Elisians, we can work flexibly (in Southern Finland).

Why join us?

You will be given a large portion of responsibility, but equal amounts of freedom and trust. We’re a dedicated cross-disciplinary venture team, working on a new disruptive solution to the energy markets – a true startup but inside Elisa.

Elisa has been ranked as one of the Finland's best employers for many years, for many reasons: huge amounts of flexibility, a friendly and laid-back working environment, great leadership that we are truly proud of, a continuous curiosity and an innovative aim to develop, as well as a fundamental invitation to come as you are. We understand and honor the fact that each Elisian comes with families, hobbies, problems, backgrounds and lives of their own. Read more about Elisa and the Elisians here.
