Senior Ruby/Rails developer (remote within EU)

Return (https://return.energy) is hiring a software engineer who will work on platforms that accelerate the transition to carbon-free energy. Return’s main activity is building and operating industrial-size Battery Energy Storage Systems. Our operations are located in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and Spain. You will be making a measurable (country-level) impact on the transition to renewable energy. Return recently raised €300M to support its growth.

While we employ over 100 people, Return’s technical team is still small (15 people). Our platform automates processes in energy storage, monitoring, market optimization, sales, project management, procurement, construction, and customer service.

During the first three years of operation, we laid the foundation for our platforms, and we are ready to scale up. This is why we are looking for an experienced software engineer.

You will be working on internal tools that support our business departments (origination, development, construction, operation, and general). Our tech stack is straightforward: Postgres, Ruby on Rails 8, Turbo, Stimulus, and Tailwind. We tend to keep meetings to a minimum in order to provide at least five hours of uninterrupted coding time per day. We practice code reviews and apply automated and manual testing. The platform is often deployed multiple times per day.

We’re very much open to remote work as long as you live in the EU. Our hiring process is swift but thorough: a 30-minute call to get acquainted and discuss financials, one or more technical interviews, and a paid visit to Amsterdam to meet the team.

The tech team members have co-founded several companies and have experience with remote development teams since 2008. They will personally help you through most of the recruiting process (there is no recruiter involved).
