Technical Lead / Lead Software Engineer

ENSEK Nottingham United Kingdom Finance
Warning! Vacancy expired

Company Description

In a nutshell, we are ENSEK, a fast growing, fast moving and industry disrupting SaaS business operating in the energy sector.

When we say energy, we mean that our clients supply electricity and gas to your home and to businesses too. Our job is to design, build, test and deliver market changing software to support all the interaction that our clients will have with the end customer. We, and our solutions, are entirely cloud based working with our partner, AWS, to revolutionise the energy supply market.

We continue to drive that change here in the UK, working with big brand names you’ll instantly know, and also supporting new entrants to the marketplace, who are continually changing the landscape. 2021 will see us also expanding our operations globally as our upward trajectory continues at pace.

You’d expect us to say this, but it genuinely is a very exciting time to be in ENSEK and we really are disrupting the old ways and creating new ones on a daily basis.

We are a flexible employer and very much open to remote working, flexible work arrangements and all or any combinations in between. We’ll do our best to flex around you and your life.
