Role - Software Engineer - Battery Controller & Infrastructure Company - iwell - Harmonizing Clean Energy Location - Utrecht About iwell At iwell, we are all about reinforcing energy security. We help European businesses become more energy independent. With growing regulations, extreme price volatility and rising grid issues, they need to be resilient. It is time to take charge and think ahead. We deliver energy management solutions that ensure that businesses are always in control of their energy. Our in-house developed EMS and modular battery storage drive profit through sustainability, making businesses future-proof. We are a fast-growing international team of bold, talented individuals. From engineers and software developers to creative thinkers and customer-focused business developers. No matter what your strong suit is, we always are looking for people who are determined to make a positive impact. The Role The Battery Controller team owns the software that is closest to the hardware: the C.NET application that steers our battery systems and guards their safety. This is code that runs on real hardware, in the field, making real-time decisions that keep our customers' energy operations safe and reliable. But this team owns more than the application. We also run a large share of the infrastructure that keeps the fleet operational such as Linux, Ansible orchestration, self-hosted DevOps stack, VPN gateways, networking and monitoring. We don't believe in developers who throw their code over a wall to "ops", so we're looking for someone who is two things at once: a solid Cengineer, and someone who gets a real kick out of the infrastructure side. You own things end to end, you document as you go, and you're the person your team can lean on when the plumbing needs care. Success in this role means being able to: Write and maintain safety-critical C.NET code with the care it deserves. Own infrastructure end to end Support our Operations team whenever help is needed, move comfortably between application work and operational work, and see the two as one job rather than two. What you will do Develop and maintain the Capplication that controls our battery systems and guards their safe operation. For example: designing a safety module for the Battery Controller, which helps in keeping our batteries safe and only alert the on-call operator when it is absolutely necessary, or integrating a new type of battery in our battery portfolio. Take ownership of part of our infrastructure and operations. You won't do all of it, but you'll pick up an area (or a few) and run with it. Depending on where your strengths and interest lie, the infra work could include: Orchestrating our linux based fleet with Ansible and other automation tools. Keeping self-hosted infrastructure healthy across Hetzner, Azure and StackHero (OS and Docker updates, DevOps pipelines, our GitLab instance, and the Mikrotik-based VPN gateway). Designing, testing and documenting new on-site network setups for our Customer Operations team to install. What are looking for Solid experience as a C.NET developer, writing clean, maintainable code. Knowledge of hardware communication protocols such as Modbus and MQTT. Hands-on experience with Linux, and a love of scripting and automating tasks away. Comfort with infrastructure tooling such as Ansible, Docker, Azure and OpenVPN, and with cloud/hosting environments like Hetzner. The know-how to set up a reliable and secure network, and the curiosity to keep up with the field. A genuine affinity for the operational side of software — you see running the system as part of building it. Strong communication skills and a habit of documenting your work. Fluency in English is required. Weekly working hours of 32-40 hours Coming into the office 3-4 days per week What we offer 30 holidays per year, plus an annual company trip of 3 days The opportunity to do volunteer work, by offering 1 volunteer day per year Learning & Development budget of EUR 1,500 per year Attractive pension plan with Brand New Day Working remotely for 2 weeks per year We cover your travel costs, regardless of whether you come by bike, car, or public transport. A mobile phone allowance of EUR 25 per month Additional activities such as a bootcamp, volleyball tournament, company drinks etc. Interested?

Position Title - Hands-on Software Architect Company - iwell - Harmonizing Clean Energy Location - Utrecht About iwell At iwell, we are all about reinforcing energy security. We help European businesses become more energy independent. Because with growing regulations, extreme price volatility and rising grid issues, they just need to be resilient. So it's time to take charge and think ahead. We deliver energy management solutions that ensure businesses are always in control of their energy. Our in-house developed EMS and modular battery storage, drive profit through sustainability, making businesses future-proof. We’re a fast-growing international team of bold, talented individuals. From engineers and software developers to creative thinkers and customer-focused business developers, we are looking for people who are determined to make a positive impact. The Role As iwell's Hands-on Software Architect, you oversee the technical direction of our entire software stack, and you spend roughly half of your time writing code yourself. We don't believe in architects who only draw boxes on whiteboards. The best technical decisions are made by people who feel the consequences in the code. Our stack spans the full path from device to cloud: Capplications running on Azure IoT Edge at our sites and batteries, an Angular web app with a Cbackend, several cloud services on Azure, data pipelines on Google Cloud Platform, and optimization applications in Python. You'll hold the mental map of how it all fits together and steer it toward something coherent as we scale. The hands-on part of your week you will work with one of our development teams, on foundational work such as improving our identity provider. You're the kind of engineer who can drop into an unfamiliar codebase and be useful within days, and you genuinely enjoy doing it. Success in this role means being able to: Set the architectural direction across our heterogeneous, multi-cloud, edge-to-cloud platform, and coach tech leads toward a jointly built roadmap. Move fluently between C, TypeScript/Angular and Python. Get up to speed quickly in any codebase, and help others do the same. Raise the technical bar by working alongside engineers, not above them. Key Responsibilities Own the architecture of iwell's full software stack and keep it coherent as the company grows. Spend around 50% of your time writing production code Make and document key technical decisions: technology choices, service boundaries, data flows, security and identity, deployment and operability. Partner with tech leads and product managers to align technical direction with product strategy. Coach and mentor engineers, reviewing designs and code. Keep an eye on non-functional concerns, scalability, reliability, security, cost, across Azure and GCP. What we are looking for Substantial experience as a software engineer, with a track record of taking architectural responsibility for non-trivial systems. Productivity in at least two of C/.NET, TypeScript/Angular and Python. Hands-on experience with Azure (and ideally GCP), including identity, security, and platform services. Familiarity with edge or IoT scenarios; Azure IoT Edge is a plus. Strong communication skills, you can explain a tricky architectural trade-off to a junior engineer and to a C-level stakeholder on the same day. Fluency in English is required. A pragmatic mindset: you choose the boring, well-understood solution when it's the right one, and you know when it isn't. What we offer 30 holidays per year, plus an annual company trip of 3 days The opportunity to do volunteer work, by offering 1 volunteer day per year Learning & Development budget of EUR 1,500 per year Attractive pension plan with Brand New Day Working remotely for 2 weeks per year We cover your travel costs, regardless of whether you come by bike, car, or public transport. A mobile phone allowance of EUR 25 per month Additional activities such as a bootcamp, volleyball tournament, company drinks etc. iwell is a family-friendly company and employs many employees with care-taking responsibilities Interested?
