Dit ga je doen

Flexible working with a good salary and the possibility to work (partly) from home. That is what you can expect as a Senior Python Developer at Stedin!

The energy transition demands a lot from our electricity grid. As a Senior Python Developer at Stedin, you work on the further development of the Flex Toolkit. This innovative tool helps to optimally use grid capacity by calculating accurate capacity calculations and flexible contract forms. This increases insight, improves decision-making and prevents congestion.

You work together with different teams, collect user feedback through workshops and contribute to an Agile working environment. You also ensure the integration of Flex Tookit with systems such as PowerFactory, Setiam and SAP, to guarantee seamless operation.

How does your day as a Python Web Application Developer at Stedin look like?
After a delicious cup of coffee (or tea) that you order in sign language from our hearing-impaired 'barista', you start the day with the daily standup. Together with your colleagues, you discuss the priorities and obstacles, after which everyone gets to work.

At the start of each sprint, you review the goals for the coming two weeks with the DevOps team and the Product Owner. You support your team and vice versa, in order to maximize the product value. One day you plan or refine, the next day you are focusing on agreed tasks. During the planning, you test whether the work is realistic or needs to be revised.

At the end of the morning you complete a number of introductory meetings. The information in these meetings is crucial for you need to understand the business context of the application and to further develop your knowledge. After these meetings you coordinate integrations and user stories in short online meetings with other DevOps teams. Finally, you work with a colleague on a low-level design for a congestion solution.

Time for lunch! You can have lunch on the 18th floor with a magnificent view of Rotterdam, with your own lunch or something fresh from the company restaurant. Or you can take a walk in the city. Time to get back to work. In the afternoon there is a refinement on the agenda: here we determine the steps for the delivery of user stories for the coming quarter every week.

You round off the day by coordinating with the Epic Owner what the next step is in product development. You also check the ticket system to see if you can pick up a few management requests. And at the end of your workday you are in a few steps at Blaak station, so you are back home quickly!
