• Monitor production assets and available capacities from power plants.
• Exchange information between TSOs and the real-time SCADA system.
• Calculate real-time setpoints to send to power plants to keep the power perimeter balanced, based on production plans, real-time acquisition, and other inputs.
• Support similar balancing mechanisms across several European countries.

What you will do.

• Develop and maintain the SCADA X application used to keep the power perimeter in balance.
• Work on both frontend and backend development using SCIL, HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
• Apply architectural design principles to build scalable and robust solutions.
• Apply software craftsmanship principles (SOLID, DRY, KISS, YAGNI) to produce clean, maintainable, and resilient code.
