Requirements

What we're looking for

You are a graduate of a recognized higher education institution - a major engineering school, possibly with additional training recognized for its excellence and business orientation - and you recognize yourself in the following profile:

You have 5 to 8 years of engineering experience. Energy and programming are your hobbies. You know Home Assistant.
You know how to model a business domain cleanly. If asked to represent an electricity contract with peak/off-peak hours, seasonal tariffs, and curtailment days, you know where to start.
You are curious about the energy sector. You know why the spot price can become negative and what a domestic battery or an inverter is.
You are autonomous. In full remote, no one will come to check what you are doing every day: you know how to organize yourself, prioritize, and communicate clearly in writing, in both French and English.

The role

We are looking for a Project Manager - Electricity Planning to join our team!

You will join the team developing a tool capable of deciding, at any given moment, whether to consume, store, or reinject electricity for a household or an SME, anywhere in the world.
Your mission? To design and bring to life the API that orchestrates these decisions based on plug-in prices, everywhere in the world.
We are looking for a senior, autonomous engineer who loves building clean and high-performance systems, and who wants to contribute concretely to the energy transition.

Job Missions Selectra is recruiting a project manager to technically lead its Electricity Planning project: a real-time energy arbitrage API intended for individuals and SMEs worldwide.

What you'll do

You will design the API architecture: modeling energy contracts, controllable assets (batteries, EV, PV, hot water tanks), and arbitrage strategies.
You will personally arbitrate the structuring technical choices: relational or time-series database, queues, caching, deployment.
You will write and maintain the Laravel code that calculates the arbitrage and exposes the API to internal clients and integrating partners.
You will integrate heterogeneous price sources: spot prices, regulated tariffs, dynamic tariffs, custom contracts, across dozens of countries.
You will optimize calculation times and API scalability (Octane, Horizon, queues, parallelization).
You will implement the tests, monitoring, and observability that guarantee quality in production.
You will document the API and its business concepts for internal teams and integrators.
You will work hand in hand with the team responsible for price data entry, and with the product teams that define new use cases.

How you'll work

Contract type: CDI
Location: Paris, Lyon, Madrid or 100% remote (Europe, CET or compatible time zone)
Salary: according to profile
