Who You'll Work With

You will be based in our office in Amsterdam as part of our Energy Solutions team. The Energy Solutions team is made up of two well-differentiated groups that collaborate closely on a day-to-day basis.

In the first group, there are mostly colleagues who belong to paths related to solution leadership and have different technical backgrounds, fundamentally engineers from different careers that have been related to the energy sector. This group is in charge of the ownership and definition of most of our tools from a business perspective and they also lead the delivery of our projects to clients.

The second group, the technology group, is made up of a core of software architects and engineers with extensive experience in software development who are technical managers and coordinate an extensive group of profiles of developers, designers, SREs, project managers, data scientists, etc. who are responsible for the implementation and technical operation of our products.

We build Advanced Analytics solutions for energy players around the world. Our work with government bodies, private and public companies, and policy setters is shaping and enabling the energy transition and the decarbonization of economies.
