Energy distribution network operator for 3.3M Dutch customers
Alliander operates gas and electricity distribution networks across the Netherlands, serving 3.3 million customers. The tech stack reveals a hybrid legacy-to-cloud transition: heavy SAP usage (ECC, S/4HANA, FICO) paired with AWS, Kubernetes, and CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions), while .NET is being phased out in favor of Python and JVM languages (Java, Spring Boot, Kotlin). Active hiring across engineering, ops, and security—with mid and senior roles balanced—tracks a multi-front modernization effort: autonomous energy systems, grid capacity optimization, and security hardening.
