Senior Backend Software Engineer - Grid
Monta, Denmark

You’ll join the Grid team inside the Charge Point Infrastructure (CPI) division. CPI is responsible for the communication infrastructure of our platform connecting charge points, the grid, solar panels, and batteries within our platform. In Grid in particular, we focus on utilizing the many charge points on our platform to stabilize the electrical grid and help its transformation from a mostly static one consisting of a few producers and many consumers, to a highly dynamic one with prosumers that can both produce and consume electricity.
