Job Summary

In the  Software Engineering Excellence (TDD) unit we are passionate about building great software and empowering digital innovation at scale. Our teams work across software engineering platform engineering data services and technical excellence collaborating with business and technology experts throughout Statkraft. Together we develop the digital products and platforms that help drive the energy transition while creating lasting value for one of Europes leading renewable energy companies. 

In the STM (Short-Term Modelling) team we build the software used to plan and optimize Statkrafts Nordic hydropower production over the next 110 days. Sitting between the energy markets long-term market analysis hydrology forecasts and real-time operations our solutions run 24/7 in Norway and Sweden to help production planners and dispatchers make the best use of the water in our reservoirs. 

We deliver both the operative planning application and the underlying Python and C libraries for watercourse modelling optimization algorithms and running the SHOP optimization engine. Because both our own services and other teams build directly on these libraries we care about good software engineering fundamentals: clean APIs clear module boundaries semantic versioning and proper release management. 

We lean heavily into a traditional Linux environment: we develop on Fedora distribute our software as native RPM packages and ship our services as Helm charts deployed via Flux to Kubernetes clusters both on-prem and in the cloud. If you feel at home in the terminal appreciate how Linux systems are put together and are comfortable working over SSH you will fit right in.

  • Package ecosystem and CI: Linux packaging (RPM/dnf) GitLab CI and containers so modules are easy to build release and consume. 
  • Uses AI coding agents productively for example for large mechanical refactorings while caring about the quality and testability of what gets merged.  

Soft skills: 

  • Comfortable with cleanup work: large refactorings done step by step behind tests deleting code moving reporting and collectors out of STM without breaking operations. 
  • Thinks in terms of the developers who use STM: examples and docs so teams can use kort without help from our team. 
  • Good social and communication skills 
  • Fluent in English and preferably Norwegian 
  • Pro-active team player who feels responsible and enjoys challenging themselves 
  • Have a drive for excellence 

Other useful skills
