How to Apply for Senior Full Stack Engineer

at Ecoplanet

🏢 About Ecoplanet

Ecoplanet uniquely combines environmental impact with business efficiency by providing an all-in-one green operating system specifically for SMBs. Working here means directly contributing to carbon reduction while solving practical business problems, offering a rare opportunity to align technical work with meaningful sustainability goals.

About This Role

This Senior Full Stack Engineer role involves developing scalable applications that process large energy datasets to drive data-driven decisions for SMB sustainability. You'll be building both the analytics algorithms and user interfaces that make complex energy data actionable, directly impacting how businesses reduce their carbon footprint and operational costs.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing energy analytics algorithm performance, then collaborating with the product team on new feature specifications, followed by implementing API endpoints for data collection and refining React components for data visualization. You'd likely end the day with code reviews focusing on security and scalability for features that help SMBs track their carbon reduction progress.

🎯 Who Ecoplanet Is Looking For

  • Has 5+ years experience with JVM languages (Kotlin/Java) and Spring Boot for building scalable back-end systems
  • Demonstrates expertise in modern front-end frameworks (React preferred) and has worked with large datasets for analytics
  • Understands event-driven architecture and DDD concepts enough to design efficient microservices for energy data processing
  • Has experience with both relational (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and document (MongoDB) databases in production environments

📝 Tips for Applying to Ecoplanet

1

Highlight specific projects where you processed real-time data for analytics, especially if related to energy, sustainability, or cost optimization

2

Showcase your experience with both front-end frameworks AND JVM back-end development in the same application

3

Demonstrate understanding of SMB business needs by mentioning how you've built scalable solutions for resource-constrained organizations

4

Include metrics about application performance, data processing efficiency, or carbon reduction impact from previous roles

5

Tailor your resume to show progression from implementing features to designing systems, emphasizing scalability and maintainability

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your experience with data-driven applications and how they informed business decisions', 'Specific examples of building scalable systems that handled growth while maintaining reliability', "Why you're passionate about applying technology to sustainability challenges", "How you've collaborated with cross-functional teams to deploy features that improved user experience"]

  • Review their technology blog or engineering culture if available to understand their stack preferences

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 Walk through how you would design a microservice to process real-time energy consumption data from multiple SMB sources
2 Explain your approach to optimizing an energy analytics algorithm for both accuracy and performance
3 Describe a time you implemented security measures in a full-stack application handling sensitive business data
4 How would you balance building new features with maintaining legacy code in a growing startup environment?
5 Discuss your experience with event-driven architecture in the context of processing streaming data
