​

About the job 

You're eager to put your impressive coding skills to good use in the energy transition.

 

As a full-stack developer at Urbio, you will own the interface between frontend and backend, focusing in particular on functionalities that require knowledge of both parts, but depending on the roadmap, you will also work on more one-sided tasks. You will both conceptualize and implement new functionalities from scratch, as well as optimize features for scale and speed.

 

You will be part of one of our product teams and collaborate in particular with product owner, other frontend developers, and data or energy engineers within your team.

• take full ownership and responsibility for building, shipping, and maintaining core Urbio features

• have an eye for user experience and design, contributing with your ideas and carefully reproducing agreed mockups

• contribute to a clear and consistent API

You are a software developer with strong interest in energy topics or an energy engineer turned software developer. Being eager to build software that solves real-world problems, you are not afraid to step out of your comfort zone and work on fast-paced and complex projects both independently and in a team. In our currently small team, the ability to multi-task is crucial to rapidly provide hotfixes while not losing sight of long-term developments.

​

Working at Urbio provides you with many learning opportunities in a highly motivated and qualified team, as well as ample career development opportunities. This is also your chance to gain experience and earn equity in a fast-growing startup that targets an emerging international market.
