🏢 About Landis+Gyr

Landis+Gyr is a global leader in energy management solutions, driving the transition to smarter grids and sustainable energy.

  • Enjoys problem-solving, documenting solutions, and participating in the full software development lifecycle.

4

Include a portfolio or GitHub link with relevant open-source contributions or projects demonstrating distributed systems.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't submit a generic resume; failing to mention Java/J2EE or Akka/Pekko experience will hurt your chances.
  • Avoid ignoring the English requirement; even if the job is in Brazil, interviews may be in English.
  • Don't overemphasize front-end skills unless you have strong back-end experience; this role is back-end heavy.
