MadAppGang is a custom development company headquartered in Sydney, Australia.

It was founded by an experienced software engineer, Jack Rudenko, in 2011. We have outsourcing, outstaffing and our own projects.

MadAppGang’s engineering culture is focused on development and work, not bullshit and bureaucracy. Our company was created by engineers for engineers to work with maximum efficiency and pleasure in a team with cool professionals. The company’s culture is based on Rework and Remote from 37Signals.

Our projects

We develop digital products for the web, mobile and cloud. Years of experience and numerous projects with clients of different calibre from all around the globe give us the ability to tailor digital solutions that are a perfect balance between complexity, delivery time and cost. Over the past decade, we`ve built dozens of solutions for the fintech, energy, healthcare, fitness, transportation, and food industries.

All our projects are international (Europe, Middle East, Asia and Australia). Therefore, our second language of communication is English.

About the project

Currently, we are looking for a DevEx Engineer 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 :)
