Location - Utrecht, Netherlands


About iwell

At iwell, we are all about reinforcing energy security. We help European businesses become more energy independent. Because with growing regulations, extreme price volatility and rising grid issues, they just need to be resilient. So it's time to take charge and think ahead.

We deliver energy management solutions that ensure businesses are always in control of their energy. Our in-house developed EMS and modular battery storage, drive profit through sustainability, making businesses future-proof.

We’re a fast-growing international team of bold, talented individuals. From engineers and software developers to creative thinkers and customer-focused business developers, we are looking for people who are determined to make a positive impact.

Job Summary

Iwell is growing at a rapid rate and so is our software. We proved that we can build and maintain software for hundreds of systems, but we want to grow to thousands of systems all over Europe in the coming years. So, we are looking for a Cloud Platform and/or DevOps Engineer to help us build, maintain and scale our growing (cloud) infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines. Z

We use software that runs on a mixed set of clouds, cloud services and operating systems. Our own software runs not only in the cloud, but also on large battery systems and on on-premises servers. Needless to say we are looking for someone who is comfortable with working with a variety of systems, operating systems and technologies. 

You’ll be (one of) the first in a team of Cloud Platform and DevOps engineers with a lot of freedom to shape how iwell grows its infrastructure, handles its SRE and maintains a clear view of our varied software and system landscape. All the while ensuring that our customers can use the cleanest energy possible!
