Software Architect

We’re looking for a Software Architect to join our growing team and help shape the architecture of robust, scalable systems that power our mission in the renewable energy space. In this role, you’ll take ownership of high-level system design, guide technical direction across teams, and ensure our platforms remain reliable, performant, and future-proof as we scale.

Rather than someone who only produces diagrams, we’re looking for a hands-on architect who understands systems end-to-end, cares deeply about code quality, and can translate business needs into clean, maintainable, and scalable technical solutions. If you enjoy setting standards, mentoring engineers, and enabling teams to build faster and safer, we’d love to talk.

This role is fully remote.

What You Will Do

• Define and evolve the overall software architecture across backend systems, services, and platforms

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering teams, promoting strong architectural and engineering practices

• Design scalable, fault-tolerant systems with clear boundaries, ownership, and long-term maintainability

• Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and SRE teams to align architecture with business and operational needs

• Drive architectural decisions around cloud infrastructure, data storage, messaging, and distributed systems

• Establish and document architectural standards, patterns, and best practices across the organization

• Lead and support large-scale system refactoring, modernization, and cloud migration initiatives

Why Join Us

You will join a fast-growing technology company operating in a complex and challenging industrial and energy environment, where software and engineering innovation has a real impact on systems and infrastructure.

We work on highly complex projects that require strong technical expertise, ownership, and close collaboration across multidisciplinary teams (software, control, automation, operations).

Positions are open both to professionals working as contractors and to candidates interested in on-site employee roles, depending on the profile, experience, and project needs.
We welcome applications from local candidates, available to work on-site, as well as from professionals based worldwide, in line with the applicable contractual model.

We offer a dynamic, results-oriented work environment, where people are actively involved in projects and valued for the contribution they bring
