About the Job
Job title: Software Engineer
Location: London, Bristol, Edinburgh, Lisbon (Including Hybrid)
Part time available? Yes
Salary: £40,000 - £65,000
Kaluza wants to power a world where net-zero is within everyone’s reach, by building the platform that will accelerate a sustainable, affordable and resilient energy transition. It’s a huge challenge, but often the toughest problems are the most rewarding to solve.
Since launching in 2019, Kaluza’s technology has been empowering some of the biggest energy suppliers to better serve millions of customers.
From revolutionising billing to smart electric vehicle charging, our real-time cloud platforms transform supplier operations, reducing cost to serve and boosting engagement. And most importantly, they enable suppliers' customers to drive decarbonisation with smart, low carbon technologies.
Where in the world of Kaluza will I be working?
You'll be joining the Kaluza Technology community. We’re a diverse group of both data-led and product-focused engineers, pushing the boundaries of technology and working at an extraordinary scale. We strive for engineering quality & innovation, continuously improving our best practices across our highly collaborative community.
The API Platform team is a newly combined team of software engineers within the Client Integrations squad responsible for building & supporting the retail platform-critical components of Kaluza’s GraphQL API (KaPI) & event gateway (KEG) solutions. Our vision is that Kaluza is the easiest, most intuitive retail platform with which to integrate - our API Platform sits alongside our other large-scale analytical offering (KDM) to provide a coherent, low latency way for retail clients to maintain and find their data.
The team is well-distributed across the UK so we operate as a remote-first team, although we do organise physical meet-ups every 6-8 weeks in our London, Edinburgh or Bristol offices for workshops & fun.
Core technology-wise, we use Scala, GraphQL and DynamoDB, alongside Kafka & Avro. We deploy on to our internal Kubernetes platform with Terraform & Aiven as our IaC and GitHub for code repositories and workflows..
What will I be doing?
As an engineer within the API Platform team, you’ll play a crucial part in both developing and support the KaPI and KEG products; in particular:
Working on a mixture of discovery/spike tasks, tech debt and core delivery tickets on our backlog
Providing in-hours support for KaPI and/or KEG as part of our team rota
Playing an active part in our team’s weekly planning, daily stand-ups and regular ops health, backlog refinement and retros
There will also be opportunities to…
Join in on our squad’s innovation time (and/or Kaluza innovation time)
Join our OOH rota
Get involved in our team meet-ups & socials, and squad events (e.g. Coffee & Donuts sessions, in-office meet-ups)
Pair or swarm on improving shared services/products, such as kpi-config
Represent our team at squad or engineering community level (e.g. Platform health reviews, post-mortems, etc)
Is this the job for me?
This job is for more junior or mid-level engineers, but it’s essential that you have:
Backend and/or full stack development experience
Experience with Scala
Evidence of working with a breadth of tooling from CI/CD pipelines to Infrastructure As Code.
Evidence of proactively & independently solving problems, as well evidence showing your ability to pair on development or problem-solving tasks
An enthusiasm to learn new technologies and about new domains
It would also be advantageous, but not essential, that you have some of:
Awareness of core SRE concepts such as disaster recovery and platform health monitoring
Experience with building, deploying & monitoring AWS components
Experience with Kubernetes hosted components
Experience working with Kafka & Avro
Experience working with DynamoDB
Software design, service architecture and/or technical options analysis
