Platform TypeScript Engineer

At Essent, you really are in a sweet spot. We believe that the energy transition can only take place by changing people’s behavior.

With smart products, we help the entire Netherlands realize the energy transition step by step.

With approximately 200 DevOps engineers in 27 teams, teams truly still own something with end-to-end impact. We do not stand still: the energy sector and transition is a highly dynamic world in which we are continuously on a journey, and you can largely shape and define your own journey within it.
