About The Position

We are hiring a Backend / Data-Platform Engineer to play a key role in developing the core systems, data integrations, and data pipeline that power our platform – as well as contributing to the broader engineering effort. You will work closely with the engineering team, and will have direct interactions with the customers who use what you build.

Requirements

3–5 years of professional experience building and operating production backend services, APIs, or data pipelines.
Strong Python skills for backend and data work. We expect you to have built applications running in production, not just the odd analytics script.
Experience working with cloud providers (ideally AWS) at the level of “I can deploy, configure, and troubleshoot my services”.
A real concern for data quality, reliability, and high availability in the systems you build and operate.
Strong written communication and a bias toward over- rather than under-communicating; comfortable working with a range of personality styles across an async team spread.
A genuine interest in renewables and the energy transition. We’re not asking for prior industry experience, but this should be a reason this role is interesting to you.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with time-series data, IoT, and ideally energy data.
Experience integrating third-party APIs or external systems (webhooks, rate limiting, data synchronisation).
Some front-end familiarity (VueJS / TypeScript), for the occasional UI task.

Responsibilities

Own and evolve core backend services and APIs that power our monitoring and analytics platform, from data ingestion through to production endpoints.
Improve the reliability and scalability of our data pipeline: reliable ingestion, processing, and storage of time-series data, with a high level of observability across hundreds of millions of data points per day.
Streamline key components of our data pipeline as the platform scales: robust data flows, reduced complexity, and improving data quality and transparency.
Contribute to platform-wide engineering work: code reviews, architectural discussions, and shaping how we build and operate the platform at AMMP.
