Software Engineering Internship

Software Engineering Internship / Master's Project:
Build the Clean Energy Future!

Are you ready to build, innovate, and make a tangible impact at a fast-growing startup that's fundamentally reshaping the energy landscape? If you're passionate about solving complex problems with elegant code and eager to contribute to a cleaner, brighter world, then plug into this opportunity!

As a Software Engineering Intern or Master's Project contributor at Powernaut, you won't just be learning; you'll be actively designing, developing, and deploying solutions that power the next generation of energy management. You'll gain hands‑on experience in a dynamic environment, directly contributing to our core product and mission to redefine the energy sector.

Here's how you'll make an impact:

• Develop Scalable Software: Contribute to the design and implementation of our backend services, APIs, and data processing pipelines using modern technologies.
• Solve Real‑World Challenges: Tackle complex problems related to energy data, grid stability, and device orchestration, seeing your code directly impact the energy transition.
• Build Intuitive Frontends: Contribute to our user interfaces, making complex energy data and controls accessible and easy to use.
• Innovate with Machine Learning: For those in ML, you'll work on the orchestration and forecasting of the behaviour of thousands of smart devices, optimising their contribution to grid stability.
• Ensure Robustness and Performance: Participate in code reviews, testing, and optimisation efforts to ensure our software is reliable, efficient, and ready for massive scale.
• Innovate and Experiment: Bring your ideas to the table! We encourage exploration of new technologies and approaches to continuous improvement.

We're seeking a driven and bright software engineer who is ready to dive deep and contribute meaningfully.

You'll fit right in if you:

• Have a strong understanding of computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, object‑oriented design, etc.).
• Possess a solid grasp of Type Script, Python, or AWS – one of these should hold few secrets for you!
• Possess strong problem‑solving skills and enjoy tackling intricate technical challenges.
• Collaborate effectively in a fast‑paced, agile team environment.
• Have been fixing your family's printers since you were 10 years old (optional, but a great indicator of your innate troubleshooting skills!).

What's in it for you?

• The freedom to manage your own work with access to the tools you need to get things done.
• Being part of a dynamic, expert team of quick‑thinking and fast‑acting individuals.
• Optimised salary package + participation in our stock option plan.
• Making a meaningful and lasting positive impact on our climate.
• Working in the vibrant Wintercircus in Ghent, as essential part of a fast growing start‑up.
