At Essent, you really are in a sweetspot. We believe that the energy transition can only happen by changing people’s behaviour. Now let us be the largest in the Netherlands with 2.2 million households as customers. Sweetspot! With smart products, we help the whole of the Netherlands to realise the energy transition step by step. At the same time, with around 250 colleagues, Essent IT is big enough to experience the benefits of a mature company and also small enough to respond dynamically. With around 200 DevOps engineers in 27 teams, as a team you are still really in control of something that just has end-to-end impact. For example, the apps, or the Essent.nl website, or the meter-reading aws app, etc. We don’t sit still: the energy sector and transition is a very dynamic world in which we are constantly on the move and in which you largely determine and determine your own journey. As a Senior Software Engineer, you can play a major role in this by ensuring that our services are and remain scalable, fast and reliable.
As an engineer, you love solving the puzzle. If the puzzle is interesting enough, the work is fun. Of course, we also have the nicest colleagues but that is subjective.
The puzzles on the Senior Software Engineer’s plate include personalising offers to our customers, and then really end-to-end. But also things like setting up a scalable integration service with fully automated deployments and the freedom to experiment with tools and technologies to set up your work as well and efficiently as possible. If you find these puzzles boring, then you won’t be happy with us. Are these the puzzles that make you bounce? Then read on.
We work with robust technologies, think Typescript, Postgres, AWS Lambda, AWS Batch and the Serverless.com framework.

You can crack our puzzles if you recognise yourself in most of the points below:

• Expertise in Serverless technologies such as AWS Lambda, Dynamo DB and Serverless.com
• Expertise in Typescript
• Is seen by team members as a specialist and a go-to person when they need help
• Is proactive in key areas such as roadmapping, solutioning, and designing and implementing features
• Initiates and drives improvements within the Serverless and Integration domain
• Experience in working with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing,
• Experience with SQL and relational databases,
• Gets happy working in an Agile team with DevOps responsibility.

We appreciate the energy and motivation you put into your work so that we can be our customers’ energy partner. We do this with a nice package of conditions. We offer you:

• The chance to contribute to the energy transition in the Netherlands from your expertise!
• A gross monthly salary between € 5510 and € 7873
• A flexible benefit budget that you save up each month as you wish, have paid out or use for leave. This budget is made up
• of the following: 8% holiday pay, 1.8% benefit contribution, 10 days off in excess of the statutory entitlement.
• An annual result-dependent bonus of 10% to further express our appreciation.
• The opportunity to work hybrid, but for real. Prefer a workation? Again, we have a nice arrangement for 20 days a year.
• Discount on your energy bill and on all energy products (solar panels, heat pump, maintenance, etc.)
• A beautiful head office within walking distance of Den Bosch Central Station, including a good coffee bar, a company restaurant and free fresh fruit.
• An NS Business Card for commuting or a kilometre allowance. You decide.
• Development opportunities and a personal development budget. Job-related training, education and courses are also at our expense. International ambition? As part of the E.ON. Group we also offer you plenty of development opportunities within the other E.ON countries.
• And last but not least: an environment in which you can be yourself. For us, only who you are and what you can do counts. Feel free to leave out your gender, nationality and age on your CV.
