Volcore

Volcore is a profitable and ambitious startup based in Manchester City Centre, UK. We model the electricity system to do proprietary trading that helps balance the grid and facilitate renewables integration. Our technical roles are a blend of Software Engineering and Data Science, wherein we solve problems end-to-end, from data ingestion and analysis to optimisation and deployment. We are a profitable and ambitious startup looking for Software Engineers and Data Scientists who can both crack these kinds of problems and continually improve our shared libraries, tooling and workflows to ensure they are fast, accurate and a delight to work with. Our team are close-knit, with minimal hierarchy. We work together in-office to whiteboard solutions together and everything we build is used by people sitting next to us. Every team member owns important projects very early on, and if you can deliver value in a particular area, you’ll be recognised and rewarded for it, regardless of job title. Our tech stack includes Python, backend Typescript, Postgres and, increasingly, Rust. We review all applications personally and are committed to being a fast-growing startup with a focus on impactful problem solving, minimal bureaucracy, and a friendly team environment. We are dedicated to supporting renewable energy and making a positive impact on the electricity system. Join us on our mission to transform the energy trading industry with innovative technology.
