AWS Cloud Engineer
Overview:
Do you want a chance to really make a difference?
We are building software to really make the world a greener place. Countries using our services increase their ability to effectively utilise renewable sources of energy.
As an AWS Cloud Engineer, you will work with the Enterprise Technology team, which is responsible for the AWS Cloud, IT, Cyber Security, MS Power Platform Cloud, and internal support domains. You will design and implement solutions which will drive VIOTAS’ global expansion.
About VIOTAS:
Established in Limerick, Ireland in 2013, VIOTAS set about designing and delivering new innovations to address the challenges posed by increased renewable generation in electrical grids: How can a grid be balanced when a large amount of electricity is coming from unpredictable renewable sources that are difficult to forecast and that change the fundamental principles of how grids operate?
In response, VIOTAS developed proprietary technologies that place electricity customers at the core of the solution. By managing their electricity consumption and onsite generation in real-time, VIOTAS help balance the wider electricity grid. The company then aggregates participating customers to form Virtual Power Plants which are traded in the electricity market, competing against conventional fossil fuel power stations. This approach not only generates significant revenue for participating customers but also contributes to reducing carbon emissions. With a global expansion strategy, VIOTAS, currently with over 110 staff, operates in Ireland, Poland, USA and Australia.
We are a highly motivated team that are pushing boundaries to achieve success. We are looking for a driven person who is searching for the same.
