at Enode

🏢 About Enode

Enode is at the forefront of the green energy transition, building APIs that connect and orchestrate a vast array of distributed energy resources like EV chargers, solar inverters, and batteries. By enabling a flexible, renewable-powered grid, you'll work on technology that directly combats climate change. The company operates remotely across the EU, fostering a collaborative culture focused on innovation and sustainability.

About This Role

As a Customer Solutions Engineer, you'll be the technical bridge between Enode's API and customers—from fast-growing clean energy startups to large utilities. You'll design tailored solutions, provide hands-on support, and influence product improvements based on real-world feedback. Your work directly impacts the scalability and adoption of green energy hardware, making the grid smarter and greener.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your morning might start with a call with a European utility to troubleshoot an API integration, followed by a design review for a new feature requested by a partner. After lunch, you could draft technical documentation or run a workshop for a customer's engineering team. The day ends with a cross-functional sync with product and engineering to share customer insights.

🎯 Who Enode Is Looking For

  • You have 5+ years in customer engineering or solutions engineering, with deep experience deploying APIs in production environments, especially in energy, IoT, or critical infrastructure.
  • You're comfortable navigating enterprise IT landscapes (ERP, CRM) and governance processes, and can translate technical concepts for both engineers and C-level stakeholders.
  • You thrive on solving complex technical challenges, from debugging integration issues to architecting scalable solutions that meet business goals.
  • You are passionate about clean energy and sustainability, and see this role as a way to drive meaningful impact through technology.

📝 Tips for Applying to Enode

Tailor your resume to highlight specific experience with API integration, enterprise customers, and energy/IoT domains—use keywords like 'REST API', 'technical support', 'solutions architecture', and 'grid infrastructure'.

2

In your cover letter, mention a specific example of how you helped a customer overcome a technical challenge using an API, and tie it to Enode's mission of enabling a renewable grid.

Research Enode's API documentation and blog to demonstrate genuine interest—mention a specific feature (e.g., 'smart charging' or 'device telemetry') that excites you.

4

Quantify your impact: e.g., 'Reduced customer onboarding time by 30% through improved documentation' or 'Supported 20+ enterprise integrations'.

5

Showcase your ability to communicate across audiences: include a short paragraph in your cover letter explaining a technical concept in simple terms, as if to a non-technical stakeholder.
