Staff Software Engineer

At Evergen, our mission is to orchestrate over 10GW of distributed energy assets globally, accelerating the world’s transition to renewable energy. We lead the way in renewable energy optimisation, helping the electricity grid operate more efficiently while creating value for individual asset owners.

Evergen is the software heart beating inside a "virtual power plant" (VPP). We optimise and orchestrate batteries, EVs, hot water systems, solar systems and other technologies to collectively support the electricity grid, and in so doing we increase the uptake of renewable energy and create additional value for individual asset owners. 

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in leading the design, development, and delivery of scalable software solutions. You'll act as a key technical expert, collaborating with cross-functional teams to architect innovative systems while mentoring and guiding junior engineers to achieve excellence.
