Large-scale battery storage helps by storing electricity when supply is abundant and releasing it when demand rises. This keeps the grid flexible and reduces reliance on fossil fuels.\nBut how do you connect a battery site of hundreds of megawatts to a central IT platform? And how do you build software that is ready for the projects still to come? As a Software Engineer at GIGA Storage, these are the challenges you will work on.\nAbout GIGA Storage\nFounded in 2018, we are an international scale-up growing across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Our purpose, ‘Unlock every Green Watt’, is about making the energy system better and more affordable for future generations. We aim to have 1.5 to 2 GW of battery power operational by 2030. At 2 GW, that is theoretically enough peak power to supply more than a million homes simultaneously.\nWe pioneer at a scale where many solutions are still being developed. We take ownership, share knowledge and make decisions together. Rapid growth also calls for adaptability: priorities shift and not everything is defined in advance.\nYour role\nYou develop and growth our Giga platform. You build software in Python, working with technologies including SQL, Terraform, Grafana and data processing. You do not need to know everything already: you enjoy learning beyond your own specialism.\nWhat will you work on? When a new battery site goes live, data on capacity, performance and equipment status needs to flow reliably into our platform. You build the software and integrations that make this happen. At the same time, you strengthen the foundations: fewer manual steps, better-documented code and reusable solutions for future sites. We work by the principle ‘you build it, you run it’. You can propose tools and improvements; important technical decisions are made together with the team and our IT Lead.\nWhat will you do?\nBuild software. Develop and maintain Python services and integrations for new battery sites.\n\nMake data reliable. Build and improve data pipelines, quality checks and monitoring.\n\nWork smarter. Automate repeatable tasks and improve documentation, standards and maintainability, using AI tools where useful.\n\nOwn what you build. Test, deploy and support your software, and discuss technical improvements with the team.\n\nAdd knowledge, creativity and fun to the IT team.\n\nWhat do you bring?\nHigher professional education (HBO) level of thinking and working, and at least four years of relevant software development experience.\n\nPython experience; one year may be sufficient if you have also programmed in other languages.\n\nExperience with at least one cloud platform: GCP, AWS or Azure.\n\nInterest in data engineering and DevOps; Terraform, SQL and CI/CD knowledge is a plus.\n\nA broad technical mindset, ownership and a willingness to automate, document and share knowledge.\n\nGood English communication skills and availability to work from our Amsterdam office at least three days a week.\n\nEnergy-sector experience and Dutch language skills are not required.\nWhy join GIGA Storage?\nVisible impact. Your software helps bring new battery sites into operation.\n\nTechnical variety. Combine software, data and cloud while broadening your skills.\n\nRoom to contribute. Help automate our platform and prepare it for the next stage of growth.\n\nBuild together. Join five international IT colleagues in our new Buitenveldert office, close to Amsterdam Zuid.\n\nWhat do we offer?\nA competitive salary plus holiday allowance (8%)\n\nA fixed year-end bonus (7-9%) and performance-related bonus (max 10%).\n\n28 days of annual leave for full-time employment\n\nA pension plan.\n\nA €750 annual learning budget, laptop, phone allowance and e-bike scheme.\n\nHybrid working: at least three days a week in our Amsterdam office; choose home or office for the remaining days.\n\nHealthy lunches and occasional fun activities\n\nReady to build with us?\nWant to develop software that matters while working on the energy transition?
