Junior Full-stack Developer

Job description

A talented Full-stack Developer with a track record in Vue and/or React! You'll be part of a small team (Product team) dedicated to developing our web application Canopy; building new features, clever interactions, and enlightening data visualisation charts! You will be working together tightly with the Product team led by one of the founders and a solid Machine Learning & DevOps Engineering team to build product technology that is already creating an impact on a global scale. The role is for a Full-stack Developer, but is mostly focused on Front-end, which is where Canopy’s main challenges are. Our backend is rather light and you will only occasionally work on it. In the Product team, we work together tightly and make decisions together. You’ll be involved in creating technical plans and specs and figuring out the best way to solve engineering challenges. Also, you will interface with the other teams on a variety of topics related to Machine Learning and Data Engineering. If you want to learn and develop in these fields, look no further and send us your application!

Who we are Jungle develops and applies Artificial Intelligence to increase the uptime and performance of renewable energy systems. Our technology builds on existing sensors and data streams, and enables solar and wind energy owners to squeeze more out of their machines, accelerating the world’s transition to renewable energy sources. We have productised our services into a web application named Canopy. It’s helping users across a portfolio of over a Gigawatt of installed capacity, to get more energy production out of their machines. We operate at large scale - millions of data points per day - providing always-on predictive models, alarms and metrics visualisations for some of the largest and most sophisticated customers in the global renewable energy space.

Why do we need you? Translating results of Machine Learning models to real-life insights is challenging. We provide our users with high-level actionable insights and also with the tools and charts to dive into their data as deep as they want to go. This requires a lot of clever metrics, scalable visualisations, and well-designed interactions. We have tons of ideas and are looking to increase the team to make these a reality.
