🏢 About HITACHI ENERGY

Hitachi Energy is a global technology leader advancing sustainable energy systems toward a carbon-neutral future, focusing on innovative grid solutions. Working here means contributing to critical infrastructure that powers cities and industries while being part of Hitachi's broader vision of social innovation through technology. The company's commitment to sustainability and cutting-edge energy management makes it uniquely impactful in the tech-energy intersection.

About This Role

This front-end software engineer role involves developing responsive, data-intensive web applications for Network Manager ADMS (SCADA/DMS/OMS) software using React and TypeScript. You'll be translating complex Figma designs into functional interfaces for energy management systems that directly impact grid reliability and efficiency. Your work will support critical infrastructure used by utilities worldwide to manage power distribution and outage response.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves collaborating with UX designers to implement new Figma designs for grid visualization components, developing React components with TypeScript for real-time data display from SCADA systems, and working with backend engineers to integrate new API endpoints. You'll participate in code reviews focused on performance optimization for data-heavy interfaces and contribute to maintaining the ADMS software used by utility operators.

🎯 Who HITACHI ENERGY Is Looking For

  • Has 2-7 years of hands-on React/TypeScript experience building data-intensive applications, not just basic websites
  • Can demonstrate experience working with REST APIs and collaborating effectively with backend engineers on complex systems
  • Shows practical experience with Figma or similar design tools to implement precise UI/UX specifications
  • Is bilingual in English and Turkish with professional communication skills in both languages
