Job Title: Backend Software Engineer (Python | Energy Sector)
Location: Remote
Type: Full-Time
Industry: Renewable Energy / CleanTech

About the Role
We are seeking a Backend Software Engineer with a strong foundation in Python and a passion for the energy sector to join a fast-growing and mission-driven consultancy. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge tools and platforms that optimize renewable energy assets and drive the clean energy transition.

While Python is the primary development language, experience or interest in C# is considered a plus. This is a back-end focused position, but there is a data component, so familiarity with data science or data processing pipelines will be beneficial.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and maintain scalable, efficient backend systems and APIs for internal and client-facing platforms.

Collaborate with data scientists and energy specialists to integrate machine learning models and data processing pipelines into production software.

Contribute to tools that support renewable energy optimization, including grid analytics, tariff comparison, and wind farm design automation.

Work on internal tooling and client projects focused on improving energy system efficiency and transparency.

Participate in architecture decisions, code reviews, and continuous improvement of engineering practices.

Required Skills & Experience

Strong programming experience in Python (3+ years preferred).

Solid understanding of backend architecture, including API development and database design.

Experience working in or with the energy sector - particularly renewables, grid systems, or electricity markets.

Exposure to data processing and analysis workflows, preferably in a scientific or energy domain.

Ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams, including domain experts and data scientists.

Nice to Have

Experience with or willingness to learn C#.

Familiarity with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP) and DevOps workflows.

Background in optimization algorithms or energy modeling.

Understanding of renewable energy technologies (e.g., wind, solar, storage) and market mechanisms.

Why Join?
You'll be part of a mission-oriented team with deep expertise in remewable energy, data science and software engineering. This is a chance to work at the intersection of technology, policy, and sustainability, shaping tools that make renewable energy more accessible, efficient, and cost-effective

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
