Intro
Exnaton is a startup, spun out of ETH Zurich, which offers software for renewable energy to utility companies. Our software enables energy providers to set up energy communities and smart energy tariffs in their distribution areas. Users of our software can track their energy consumption and buy renewable energy from their neighbors, which makes investing in the energy transition simple and fun!
Prosumers, dynamic electricity tariffs, and energy sharing are driving the energy transition and becoming integral components of the decentralized energy world. Our software is a cloud application that processes smart meter data and computes smart real-time prices for locally produced energy which makes renewable energy financially more attractive. End-users receive an app that maps the sources of their energy, making their electricity consumption more understandable.
Our team is growing and we are looking for passionate and talented people to complement our team. We are a diverse mix of engineers and business developers, all driven by the shared goal of using technology to create a sustainable impact in our society. If you're enthusiastic about contributing to this exciting journey, we invite you to be a part of our innovative and motivated team.
The job can be performed remotely in EU countries.
Your role
We operate a stack with a backend built in a strict micro-services pattern with polyglot services written in TypeScript and some in Python. Technologies are chosen to fit the purpose (e.g. time series, relational, no-sql databases). All deployments rely on Helm and run on platform-agnostic Kubernetes clusters.
As a Fullstack Developer at Exnaton, you will join our 25 people team and shape the company and its vision from the ground up. Among others, your main responsibilities are the following:

Provide input to technology decisions and stay up to date with current technologies.
Your qualifications
We operate a stack with a backend built in a strict micro-services pattern with polyglot services written in TypeScript, Python and C#. Our frontend is written in next.js, served by a highly configurable headless CMS using our own component library and will be expanded to an additional application going forward. Technologies are chosen to fit the purpose. We deploy via GitOps and Helm to various Kubernetes clusters running on AWS.
We define ourselves by a culture of collaboration and ownership. We’re looking for a driven, capable, and thoughtful person to add to our mission. The main qualifications we are looking for are:

About us
Exnaton is a startup that offers software for renewable energy to energy companies. Our software enables energy providers to enable consumers to share renewable energy. Users of our product can track their energy consumption and buy renewable energy from their neighbors, which makes investing in the energy transition simple and fun! While we primarily serve customers in the DACH region, we are actively expanding into additional markets.
Our team is growing fast and consists of a diverse mix of engineers and business developers who are all motivated to use technology to create a sustainable impact in our society. We are distributed across various European countries, with our office located in Zurich, but primarily working remotely.
Energy-sharing solutions are the next big thing in Europe’s energy market as the European Union is pushing hard for individual climate action. And we are aiming to become Europe’s leading software provider for renewable energy. On that mission, we are looking for motivated and passionate people to join us.

We are dedicated to fostering diversity and to combat discrimination. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply and intend to consider all applications equally regardless of sex, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or gender identity. We won't inquire about how you identify or if you've experienced discrimination, but if you want to tell your story, we are all ears.
