🏢 About Ramboll Management Consulting

Ramboll Management Consulting is unique as it focuses specifically on driving decarbonization and sustainable business models across global markets, positioning itself at the intersection of technology and environmental impact. Working here offers the opportunity to contribute software solutions that directly address climate change and sustainability challenges, rather than just commercial products.

About This Role

This Senior Software Engineer role involves developing full-stack solutions using Java, React/TypeScript, GraphQL, and SQL to support decarbonization and sustainability initiatives. You'll participate in the entire development lifecycle while integrating monitoring tools like Grafana and Countly, making this role impactful as your code will directly enable sustainable business transformations.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve collaborating with sustainability consultants to translate decarbonization requirements into technical specifications, then developing full-stack features using Java and React/TypeScript. You'd likely review Grafana dashboards to monitor application performance, write JUnit tests for new functionality, and participate in discussions about improving development practices for the team's sustainability-focused projects.

🎯 Who Ramboll Management Consulting Is Looking For

  • Has 4+ years of full-stack development experience with demonstrated proficiency in Java, React/TypeScript, GraphQL, and SQL
  • Shows practical experience with JUnit testing frameworks and monitoring tools like Grafana/Countly in production environments

  • Exhibits a growth mindset with examples of improving development practices and solving complex problems in previous roles
