NOTE: DETACHING ONLY

At EDSN, you contribute to making the Netherlands more sustainable. Every day. Together with our partners in the energy sector. With your digital skills and connecting power, you are the indispensable link between technology and energy. You will help build the reliable and innovative ICT infrastructure needed to facilitate a sustainable market. Today and tomorrow! We have big ambitions and that is why we are looking for you!

Key role in the energy market

Work full of energy

With the energy transition in full swing, the Dutch power grid is reaching its current limits, increasing the urgency to make smarter use of the grid and reduce grid congestion. GOPACS (www.gopacs.eu) is a unique partnership of all Dutch grid operators and the strategic platform to reduce capacity shortages in the electricity grid (i.e. congestion), thus keeping the Dutch grid reliable and affordable.

The GOPACS congestion platform enables grid operators to resolve congestion by purchasing flexibility through connected energy trading platforms while providing large and small market participants an easy way to generate revenue from their available flexibility. Due to our ambitions and the rapidly growing need for congestion management and re-dispatch, we have room for new colleagues.

Since October 1, 2022, the management and development of the application has been hosted at EDSN and the team has grown from a multi-functional team within the GOPACS foundation to 5 DevOps teams at EDSN. As a Back-end Developer, you will be part of the growing DevOps teams and make a crucial contribution to the rapid development and reliable operation of the platform, which is developed in-house and runs on a cloud infrastructure. The application is backend heavy, but sometimes there is also work on the frontend in this team.
