Essent IT is always on the lookout for specialists such as you who share our ambitions to work on our IT transition within the energy transition. Want to find out if you could be our new Softwareengineer – Typescript/AWS/Serverless? Then read on!

Full stack Software Engineer (Typescript, Angular, AWS, Serverless)

At Essent, you truly find yourself in the sweet spot. We believe the energy transition can only succeed by changing people's behavior. With 2.2 million households as customers, we are the largest energy provider in the Netherlands - right in that sweet spot! Using smart products, we help the entire nation make the energy transition step by step. At the same time, Essent IT - with about 250 colleagues - is large enough to enjoy the benefits of an established company, yet small enough to remain agile. With around 200 DevOps engineers across 27 teams, you and your team have a real opportunity to make an end-to-end impact. For example, on apps, the Essent.nl website, or on the energy meter reading domain. We’re always on the move: the energy sector and its transition is a highly dynamic environment, and your journey within it is largely shaped by you.

Energy moves you

As an engineer, you love solving puzzles. If the puzzle is interesting enough, the work is enjoyable.
Of course, we also have the best colleagues - but that might be subjective.

The puzzles you'll tackle as a Software Engineer (TypeScript/Angular/AWS/Serverless) include personalizing offers for our customers - truly end-to-end. How about working on front-end and back-end applications critical to energy procurement or creating the right propositions/campaigns for (potential) customers? You’ll also dive into fully automated deployments and enjoy the freedom to experiment with tools and technologies to optimize your workflow.

Do these puzzles sound boring? Then this might not be the place for you. But if they excite you, keep reading! We work with cutting-edge technologies such as TypeScript, AWS Lambda, and AWS CDK. Familiarity with data storage systems like DynamoDB or Snowflake is a plus.

You are Essent

You can crack our puzzles if most of the following describes you:

  • You have experience with serverless technologies such as AWS Lambda and Amazon CDK.
  • You prefer building frontends using modern stacks like Angular.
  • You have experience implementing (GitLab) CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
  • You’re familiar with SQL and NoSQL databases like PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, and Snowflake.
  • You thrive in a multidisciplinary, end-to-end agile team with DevOps responsibilities.
  • You support your teammates’ growth through strong communication and mentoring skills, providing constructive feedback and code reviews.
  • You collaborate effectively with business stakeholders to interpret and implement features accurately.
