๐Ÿข About meteocontrol

meteocontrol is a leader in solar energy monitoring and control systems, dedicated to maximizing solar efficiency worldwide. By joining this company, you'll contribute directly to the green energy transition, working with cutting-edge technology that powers a more sustainable future.

About This Role

As a Senior Frontend Developer, you will own the frontend of the Assetpilot platform, building scalable, responsive interfaces with Angular. Your work will directly impact how solar energy systems are monitored and optimized, making renewable energy more efficient and accessible.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a stand-up meeting with your cross-functional team, discussing progress on new features. You'll then dive into codingโ€”perhaps building a new dashboard widget in Angular, integrating with a GraphQL API, and writing tests with Cypress. After lunch, you might pair with a UX designer to refine a component's accessibility, then review a colleague's pull request before wrapping up with some exploratory testing.

  • A frontend expert with 3+ years of experience in Angular, TypeScript, and RxJS, who has built complex, data-driven interfaces.
  • Someone passionate about clean energy and eager to apply their skills to solve real-world environmental challenges.
  • A collaborative team player who thrives in cross-functional settings, working closely with UX/UI designers and backend developers.
  • A tester at heart, experienced with Jest and Cypress, and committed to quality through test-driven development.
