Senior Backend Engineer .NET (Quality Engineering)

• You build and maintain backend services and integrations in .NET/C#.
• You develop solutions that optimise behind-the-meter assets and connect data flows so smaller assets can trade as part of Eneco's pool.
• You design and maintain automated integration and end-to-end tests, so the team can trust every release of our services and integrations.
• You run load and performance tests to find bottlenecks, scalability risks and reliability issues before they reach production.
• You keep improving test automation, test coverage and feedback cycles, so developers know quickly when something breaks.
• You build quality into features from the start, instead of testing them afterwards.
• You use AI tools across your work, including test generation, refactoring and debugging, and review the output critically.
• You drive Proofs of Concept and work with architects on system design.
• You mentor medior and junior engineers through code reviews and technical guidance.
• You share on-call duty for a system that runs 24/7.

• Reliable, scalable services that connect distributed assets to our VPP and keep running 24/7.
• Quality built into the development lifecycle through automated testing.
• New features and services that ship with the right integration and E2E test coverage.
• Performance and scalability, backed by load and performance testing.
• Faster, more reliable feedback for the team through more automation.
• Technical ownership of your components, including tackling technical debt and reliability risks early.
• AI-assisted work that meets the same bar for security, quality and maintainability as anything else.
• A stronger team through reviews, mentoring and shared standards.

• You have around 7 years of backend experience in .NET/C# and have built complex, high-availability distributed systems.
• You know event-driven architecture and async messaging, for example Kafka, Azure Event Hubs or RabbitMQ.
• You're comfortable with Azure, CI/CD, Docker/Kubernetes, microservices, and both relational and non-relational data.
• You have a strong Quality Engineering mindset: to you, quality, testability and automation are part of building software.
• You have practical experience with automated integration and E2E testing.
• You've done load and performance testing and know how to investigate performance and scalability risks.
• You're a software engineer first. You enjoy building features and the tests that prove they work, rather than focusing on test automation alone.
• You use AI-assisted development tools in your daily work, check their output critically, and like sharing what works with your team.
• You're happy to take on-call responsibility, live in the Netherlands and speak English fluently.
• Knowledge of energy markets, optimisation or aggregation platforms is a plus. Don't have it yet? You'll learn the domain here.
• Recognise yourself in most of this, but not every requirement? We'd still love to hear from you.

You join an engineering team working on the platforms behind our Virtual Power Plant. You work closely with fellow engineers, architects and colleagues from other disciplines. We review each other's code, share what we learn, and explore AI and automation together, so you get plenty of room to bring in your own ideas.
