Project Description: Senior Python developer for a world that runs entirely on green energy Skills we are looking for: • Python, for desktop and web apps • DevOps and associated tool ecosystem (we use Azure DevOps) • Best practices in programming and software development • FICO Xpress and interfacing with Python • Ideally, you are prepared to show us some of your work, e.g. your contributions to open-source projects or other examples of code that you have written / systems that you have developed. Some familiarity with physics, engineering, numerical modelling, math or similar, as well as with software packages typically used in these disciplines, will come in handy and will facilitate communication, but is by no means absolutely required. Each of us takes responsibility and initiative to drive our projects toward their goal – our goal – and we never hesitate to support each other in this mission. You must be willing to do so as well. About us: As a professional developer, you will join an elite team of a dozen software-inclined physicists, engineers and mathematicians, operating as an internal consultancy. We are known as the Numerical Competence Centre. We advise on, develop, and deliver scientific/engineering software tools and numerical modelling solutions for internal customers across the organization, in direct support of our effort to create a world that runs entirely on green energy. We are engaged, challenge assumptions and the status quo, and get the freedom to do things right with low overhead, to deliver what our clients need (not necessarily what they think they need). We are strong in physics and numerical methods, and are software dev enthusiasts. We need a software dev professional to complement this skill set. The project: You will join a team that develops a realistic techno-economic model for the construction and operation of a wind-farm-driven hydrogen plant to be used for business cases. The model is paired with a numerical optimization algorithm (FICO Xpress) in a software tool (Python web app with Flask back-end framework). Your work will both include implementation of new features and refinements of existing ones. You will participate in defining the area and scope of your contribution, in accordance with your strengths within the framework of the project needs. Our development processes include version control, code review, continuous integration etc. In addition, we are supporting an effort to roll out agile frameworks across the organization by implementing scrum (or sensible variants) in the projects in which we are involved. Requirements: About you Most importantly, you are experienced and versatile and can figure out how to make whatever tools and systems are thrown at you work together in new ways. You are prepared to drive the development of scientific/engineering applications; a background in these fields is an advantage.
