Software Engineer

Coolgradient is a fast-growing green-tech start-up with a clear vision to make our digital footprint more sustainable.

Why?

Every swipe, every like, every TikTok video we upload, every Zoom call we have, every Netflix video we watch, or everything we buy online is all processed and depends on… data centers. However, these data centers consume large amounts of energy due to the underlying technology we use every day all day.

How?

We have developed an AI-based analytics platform that captures the entire data center (DC) infrastructure - "from roof to room" - to bring the whole DC into a more optimal state. Saving energy and increasing reliability, resulting in a more sustainable data center in countries like Germany, France, Switzerland, UK, Ireland and The Netherlands.

We are looking for a skilled Software Engineer (front-end, back-end, integration) with a knack for Data and sustainability or energy technology to join our team.
