As a Senior Software Engineer in our Meter Data Management (MDM) team, you will combine hands-on software development with technical ownership for a performance-critical product.

MDM covers the collection, validation, processing, and management of energy meter data. Our software processes large data volumes and supports critical customer and operational processes within the ZONOS ecosystem.

You will provide technical direction within the team, guide solution design, coordinate technical dependencies, and help establish high standards for performance, quality, security, and reliable delivery. This is a technical leadership role without disciplinary people-management responsibility.

You will also contribute to migrations between customer systems, ensuring reliable data transfer, validation, integration, and system transition.

The role offers technical leadership and visible ownership without disciplinary management responsibility.

We at Cuculus believe that work should be meaningful, fun, and enable growth. When you join us, you can expect an environment that trusts you, values collaboration, and gives you the freedom to take ownership.
