The grid was built for predictable, centralised power. Today it's absorbing intermittent supply from grid scale solar and wind, alongside dynamic demand from EVs, heat pumps, and home batteries. The missing piece is software that can connect and orchestrate these devices at scale.
Enode provides the infrastructure layer that makes this possible. Our Connect API gives energy companies a single integration to 1000+ devices across 80+ brands. Our optimisation tooling gives energy companies the building blocks to manage those devices locally - think smart charging for EVs. Our Flex product turns those connected devices into a flexible, controllable asset for energy companies.
We work with device manufacturers across the energy hardware ecosystem - from EV brands to heat pump and solar inverter producers. Our customers are energy retailers, utilities, and traders building the next generation of energy services. We're backed by Y Combinator, Lowercarbon Capital, and Creandum.
The decisions made now will shape how the energy system gets built. We're looking for people who take ownership, move fast, and care deeply about the role technology can play in the energy transition.
What we're looking for:
We're hiring a Senior Data Engineer (with an interest in working with data science) to own and evolve Enode's data platform while partnering on our Flex product's forecasting and analytics needs. You'll help us scale from "it works" to "it works reliably as we grow", ensuring the right data is available, trustworthy, and usable across Flex delivery, billing, customer insights, and leadership reporting.
You'll be working directly with our Data Scientist, Håkon Kongelf, to drive Flex delivery and the next iteration of Enode's data platform. You'll collaborate closely with other engineers in our product teams, but also commercial teams and leadership to facilitate access to data and insights.
You'll have outsized impact: this is a 2-person team, so your decisions and execution will shape how data work gets done across the company.
In this role, you will:
Deliver Flex-critical data needs: build and maintain reliable pipelines and datasets that enable Flex models (e.g., demand/availability signals, aggregations, monitoring).
Evolve the data platform: assess what we have today and drive pragmatic improvements in architecture, tooling, and operating practices—setting the direction for how the platform matures.
Own data quality and trust: implement testing, lineage/definitions, and guardrails (e.g., dbt tests, anomaly detection, freshness checks) so stakeholders can trust outputs.
Enable self-serve analytics: produce well modelled datasets and documentation that make it easy for others to answer questions without bespoke work.
Partner on data science work: collaborate on data readiness for modelling, feature pipelines, evaluation workflows, and productionisation concerns (even if you're not the primary model builder).
Make high-leverage tech choices: propose and justify changes (or non-changes) to tools and processes, bringing the experience to know when to build, when to buy, and when to leave well alone.
This role will be right for you, if:
You're a senior data engineer who likes shipping product outcomes, or a data scientist with strong engineering instincts who gets satisfaction from making pipelines stable, data trustworthy, and platforms scalable.
You enjoy working close to real problems, messy upstream inputs, ambiguous requirements, and high-stakes delivery. You can zoom in (fix a broken pipeline, optimize a model feature dataset) and zoom out (define what the platform should look like in 6–12 months).
You're comfortable leading the data function in a small team: you bring structure, set priorities, and drive execution without needing heavy process. You've done this before, you know what good looks like, and you're energised by the autonomy to build it.
You're also excited about AI as a tool—whether that's using it to speed up development, improve data quality workflows, or explore new ways of building and maintaining data products.
Must-haves:
Strong data engineering background: you've built or evolved data pipelines/platforms in production, ideally across multiple stages of a startup or scale-up.
Pragmatic platform mindset: you can "improve the plane while flying" - make incremental improvements, manage trade-offs, and prioritise delivery over long platform rewrites.
Ownership & proactivity: you identify what matters, push work forward, and operate effectively with high autonomy and limited oversight.
Solid SQL + data modelling skills: comfortable designing datasets that are accurate, maintainable, and useful for analytics/modelling.
Reliability instincts: you care about monitoring, data quality, testing, and operational excellence
Clear communication: you can collaborate with engineers, product, and business stakeholders, and translate needs into concrete data work.
Nice to have:
Familiarity with parts of the modern data stack: dbt, data warehousing ELT tools (Snowflake, Airbyte), and BI tools.
Experience supporting forecasting & time-series use cases (or high-volume event data).
Interest in (or exposure to) energy markets / flexibility / trading.
Experience designing data access, governance, and cost-aware warehouse usage in a growing org.
Strong interest in AI, with evidence of experimenting (LLM-assisted workflows, automation, evaluation, etc.).
Opportunity to join and impact an early-stage climate tech startup with global aspirations as we scale.
A mission-driven, fun and caring environment with high drive and ambition.
Competitive compensation, including a very attractive employee option program - you’re part of our journey.
Remote-first in Europe, with the option of attending an office in Oslo or receiving a co-working pass on demand.
Three annual off-sites to connect with the team in exciting & fun places.
Flexible, human-first culture.
Stipend for setting up your home office.

A few things to note:
Enode is an equal opportunities employer. Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may just be the right candidate for this or other roles.
