We're looking for an ambitious all-round developer that wants to help
us make buildings intelligent (or, at the very least, make them seem
intelligent). We develop both an API that exposes this intelligence, and
the frontend apps that interact with it. Our customers are big banks,
universities, and government. We hope to make a difference in this
world, by increasing efficiency, both of energy (switch off heating and
cooling systems if rooms are empty; 50% of a building's energy is used
for heating / cooling), and, more importantly, in space. More efficient
building use means fewer buildings are needed, more space for green and
for living.
Lone Rooftop currently has an international team of 15 people, from
sales to back-end developers, data science and front-end developers to
implementation and customer happiness people, in an office in one of the
startup spaces in Amsterdam. We promote sustainability throughout the
office, ranging from rewarding our employees to cycle to work, being
conscious in the stuff we use in the office, and making sure our
employees have enough chance to relax and unwind (as well as work in a
very stimulating environment).
We currently have multiple paying customers, ranging from
universities to banks, from some of the largest (high-tech) industrial
companies in the Netherlands and the U.K. There is a steady cash-flow
and our investors are only upset by the fact that they cannot invest
more at the moment!
In the coming months we will work on extending our system, and
integrating it with others, such as energy systems and rostering systems
(through our partners), calendar systems, sensors, etc. We're doing
things that nobody did before, need to build tools that didn't exist
before, and find solutions to problems others didn't even consider yet.
The backend team is small but extremely talented. The backend is set
up in a very scalable way and large efforts are taken to ensure that
technical debt is kept to a minimum. It is an environment where
excellence rules, however where at the same time there is room to
experiment with the latest technologies (and implement them if they seem
worthwhile). As a result we run on Python 3.6 with asyncio async/await,
running in docker containers on AWS ECS, using technologies like
CodeBuild and AWS Batch, within days of them being launched.
On this position you'll be working side-by-side with the CTO, someone
with 15+ years of experience as a Senior Developer (at the largest
website of The Netherlands);
Absolute requirements: Fluent in English, based in, or willing to
relocate to Amsterdam. Please indicate in first contact if you will need
EU visa support; we are able to give EU visa support to exceptional
candidates (and their families). Every application process will start
with a small programming exercise, that will give us an idea of your
level.
