Do you want to make a real impact accelerating global energy production transitioning to zero-carbon systems and work in a startup-like environment?  

In Elisa’s International Digital Services, you can join a multidisciplinary team that is harnessing data and AI to overcome issues arising from wind and solar becoming the main forms of energy production. As a Senior Software Engineer, you would bring your expertise on developing complex mission critical software systems to the team and enable us pilot and scale the new solutions to commercial reality. Most of our work is backend heavy (Python) but as with all the small teams we appreciate broad set of skills. If you have skills and interests to work with frontend and data, great! 

Are you excited about energy ecosystem transforming to zero-carbon era? Do you enjoy developing new solution concepts from idea stage to pilot installations to full-scale commercial launch? Can you see what should be technically feasible and progress towards that by iteratively removing the largest uncertainties first building high quality code? Can you conquer complex problems by dividing them into easier to track sub-components, and keep stakeholders involved on where the current priorities are? 

The easiest analogy of what we’re building is to think of connecting thousands of Tesla powerwalls into a virtual powerplant. Read more about our project to use telecom towers to build a more energy-efficient future. 

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 the role is all about? 

You will be designing and implementing software and systems to build up a comprehensive and high-quality distributed system in the technical domain of Smart Energy Solutions.  

Our working environment is agile and fast-paced and we are constantly looking for ways to improve our processes. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy this type of atmosphere as much as we do!  

We’re working with a broad stack – all the way from embedded battery management systems to ETL pipelines, distributed systems and mobile applications.  

What do we expect from you? 

• Solid experience in modern software development (DevOps, Test Driven, Agile, clean code) building products 
• Python is very familiar to you, especially in the context of mission critical and data intensive applications 
• You are a team player used to working in a startup-like environment  
• Experience with highly distributed near real time systems 
• Great but not mandatory: If you have frontend development experience (React) and mobile experience (Flutter) 
• Nice to have: AWS experience, experience building ETL pipelines and datalakes (Databricks), Machine Learning experience and energy market knowledge is a plus 

Here are some of the techs we’re using: Python, Pytest, SNMP, Asynchronous development, Machine Learning, Databricks, AWS, Azure, React, Flutter 

Most of our team is based in Helsinki (some in Tampere and Turku).

Why join us? 

You will be given a large portion of responsibility, but equal amounts of freedom and trust. We’re a small team of 10+ engineers 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.
