It is the way we respect for each other, discuss different point of views, challenge ourselves and each other, while tackling our common challenges, that makes us strong. United. Brave. And sure that there will be a better tomorrow, even when we do mistakes. Because we learn from our failures and successes.

Who will work by your side

You will work as part of a team of key players in the energy sector.

They will want to know you and understand your motivations and aspirations, but also your pitfalls and development needs. People who will be there for a personalized onboarding, to listen to you, and to challenge you.

And to invite you for a drink after work (yes, even in remote!), because there is nothing as good and positive as a good laugh.

You’ll also work side by side with our clients, spanning a wide range of industries and countries. And that means working with more bright minds, being empathetic about each other, and always keeping in mind that every brilliant piece of software we produce has two objectives: to achieve a specific business goal, and to make the people who built it as successful as you want to be.
