About The Engagement We're working with an energy sector client that helps coordinate electricity supply and demand across a large regional grid.
Because electricity can't be easily stored, supply and demand have to be balanced in real time - and our client solves this problem with a Demand Response program, where large electricity users are notified to reduce usage during peak periods (and are compensated or discounted for participating).
We're looking for a Backend Software Engineer with strong Java and Spring Boot experience to help them modernize and migrate their platform through hands-on development, as well as help the team adopt AI tools in their SDLC in a coordinated way that Equal Experts has already developed.
- Please note:
- This is an urgent project need with an anticipated September 8 start date. Candidates should be readily available to interview and able to onboard promptly if selected.
- Hourly rate range listed reflects both the US and Canada. Final hourly rate will be determined by Equal Experts based on geography,
experience, and overall fit.
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience
- Strong proficiency in Java, preferably with experience in SpringBoot and/or JBoss
- Demonstrated experience with or strong interest in AI tooling in a software development context (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, or similar)
- Consultative by nature - you can engage directly with clients, navigate ambiguity, and communicate trade-offs clearly
- Ability to influence change with a humble nature, rather than an iron fist
