Senior TypeScript Engineer, Integrations (m/f/d)

The Tech team at zolar ensures that we create a customer-centric environment and a positive contribution to the climate. Our focus is to develop software that provides and enhances new and in some cases previously untapped opportunities for climate action, and generates business value. Each of our development teams takes full responsibility for a specific product, independently ensuring that the software is delivered quickly as well as functionally and completely.  

Our general tech stack at zolar includes TypeScript, node.js, React, ReactNative, Next.js, PHP, Symfony, Kafka, Docker and AWS and we extensively use 3rd party applications to stand on the shoulders of giants.
 
Get to know our team's tech stack choices better by having a look at our Zolar Tech Radar that lists our approach to languages and frameworks, platforms, processes and development tools we are looking to adopt or trial further. 
  
Our digital products enable our customers directly, our installer partners or our internal teams to configure, buy, install and operate their solar projects.
