About This Role
This Senior Software Engineer role involves designing, developing, and maintaining backend services and data pipelines using Java and SpringBoot to solve complex optimization problems in renewable energy. You'll be tackling hard problems involving metaheuristics, fuzzy logic, and graph theory to improve energy efficiency and distribution systems. Your work will directly contribute to accelerating renewable energy adoption through scalable software solutions.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day involves collaborating with cross-functional teams during agile ceremonies, then diving deep into complex backend problems - whether optimizing Java services for better performance, designing new data pipelines using graph algorithms, or implementing metaheuristic solutions for energy optimization challenges. You'll balance maintaining existing systems with building new features that directly impact renewable energy investment decisions.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Enverus Is Looking For
- Has extensive backend experience with Java/SpringBoot and can demonstrate solving complex optimization problems using metaheuristics or fuzzy logic
- Possesses deep understanding of performance optimization, parallel programming, and architectural patterns for scalable systems
- Has experience with graph theory, statistics, or soft computing applied to real-world data pipeline challenges
- Can work collaboratively in agile environments while independently tackling difficult algorithmic problems
