Job Opportunities in the Seedcamp Portfolio

👋 Hi there, we're Powernaut.

We are building the next generation power plant, powered by end-consumers, instead of the traditional large-scale power plants.

This one doesn't take fossil fuels or radioactive isotopes, but instead manages the renewable energy and flexible devices (cars, heat pumps, ...) of end-consumers to generate more or less energy.

🚀Software Engineering Internship / Master's Project: Build the Clean Energy Future!

Are you ready to build, innovate, and make a tangible impact at a fast-growing startup that's fundamentally reshaping the energy landscape? If you're passionate about solving complex problems with elegant code and eager to contribute to a cleaner, brighter world, then plug into this opportunity!

As a Software Engineering Intern or Master's Project contributor at Powernaut, you won't just be learning; you'll be actively designing, developing, and deploying solutions that power the next generation of energy management. You'll gain hands-on experience in a dynamic environment, directly contributing to our core product and mission to redefine the energy sector.

Here's how you'll make an impact:

• Develop Scalable Software: Contribute to the design and implementation of our backend services, APIs, and data processing pipelines using modern technologies.

• Solve Real-World Challenges: Tackle complex problems related to energy data, grid stability, and device orchestration, seeing your code directly impact the energy transition.

• Build Intuitive Frontends: Contribute to our user interfaces, making complex energy data and controls accessible and easy to use.

• Innovate with Machine Learning: For those in ML, you'll work on the orchestration and forecasting of the behaviour of thousands of smart devices, optimising their contribution to grid stability.

• Ensure Robustness and Performance: Participate in code reviews, testing, and optimisation efforts to ensure our software is reliable, efficient, and ready for massive scale.

• Innovate and Experiment: Bring your ideas to the table! We encourage exploration of new technologies and approaches to continuous improvement.

We're seeking a driven and bright software engineer who is ready to dive deep and contribute meaningfully.

You'll fit right in if you:

• Have a strong understanding of computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design, etc.).

• Possess a solid grasp of TypeScript, Python, or AWS – one of these should hold few secrets for you!

• Possess strong problem-solving skills and enjoy tackling intricate technical challenges.

• Collaborate effectively in a fast-paced, agile team environment.

• Have been fixing your family's printers since you were 10 years old (optional, but a great indicator of your innate troubleshooting skills!).

• A natural fit for our Powernaut values: you're ready to power up our constellation with your passion, drive for customer excellence, and strong team mindset, all while pushing your own — and others' — boundaries.

• The freedom to manage your own work with access to the tools you need to get things done.

• Being part of a dynamic, expert team of quick-thinking and fast-acting individuals.

• Optimised salary package + participation in our stock option plan.

• Making a meaningful and lasting positive impact on our climate.

• Working in the vibrant Wintercircus in Ghent, as essential part of a fast growing start-up.
