Lead IT Engineer (& Product Owner)

The energy transition is changing the electricity system at unprecedented speed. As more wind and solar enter the system, large-scale battery storage becomes essential to keeping electricity available when it is needed and the grid in balance. At GIGA Storage, we develop, invest in and operate large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Our in-house IT platform and data capabilities play a key role in operating and optimising these assets. By 2030, we aim to manage 1.5 to 2 GW of operational BESS assets, enough capacity to help supply millions of households with electricity when it is needed most. We are scaling rapidly, and that means our technology, data and development processes need to scale with us. That is where you come in.

• Bring structure and predictability to our development process. You create a clear backlog, roadmap and planning rhythm, helping the team move from reactive development towards a more structured and predictable way of working.

• Turn business needs into technology that gets used. You connect teams such as Asset Management, Energy Trading, Finance and Business Development with our engineers and turn their needs into concrete technical solutions.

• Help scale the technology behind our growing BESS portfolio. As GIGA Storage grows towards 1.5 to 2 GW of operational battery storage, you help ensure our platform and data capabilities can grow with it.

• Strengthen the engineering team without moving away from engineering. You provide technical direction, challenge solution designs, review code and develop alongside the team, while the IT Manager remains responsible for people management and IT strategy.
