About the project

Currently, we are looking for a Tech Lead Golang for our client, the Australian company Evergen.

Evergen is a futuristic project in ecology which will definitely change the world for the better. This is a start-up of a large Australian energy company.

The product optimizes the operation of solar and battery systems, allows homeowners to manage their system and control energy costs and environmental impact, to sell and buy solar energy depending on tariffs (kind of trading).

Smart technology provides more rational use of energy by orchestrating a large fleet of batteries and creating virtual power plants. This guarantees a fault-tolerant and decentralized energy system of the future.

The goal is to get rid of coal-fired power plants in 10 countries, accelerating the world’s transition to renewable energy. Evergen’s partners — Tesla, LG, SolarEdge, etc.

Green projects are always cool, right? Products like this make the world a little better, cleaner and greener 🙂
