Senior Software Engineer (full-stack)

We are ending the use of the diesel generator. Diesel is smelly, dirty, bad for humans, bad for the environment. Hydrogen is one of those cleaner and better options. At Hydrologiq we make it easier than ever to access by bringing the market together and simplifying a complex hydrogen supply chain.

As part of this work, you will also be leading the technical delivery of an exciting grant project, which will put Hydrologiq at the centre of the UK hydrogen supply chain, accelerating the transition from diesel to hydrogen across the industry.
