Company mission
To empower utilities and their customers to create a clean, distributed energy future
Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, preferably with prior staff-level responsibilities
- Strong full-stack development experience, including backend, frontend, and relational database modeling and development
- Proficiency in Java (preferably Java 11+) and experience with at least one scripting language (e.g., Python3)
- Experience with web services, RESTful APIs, and contract-driven development
- Ability to operate autonomously, providing technical vision and guiding the team toward scalable solutions
- Strong problem-solving skills, capable of balancing multiple use cases while enabling flexibility
Desirable
- Experience with PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, AWS, and Robot Framework
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and modern software development practices
- Frontend experience with Typescript/React and the ability to contribute to UI development as needed
- Proven ability to deliver high-quality, iterative value while maintaining execution speed
- Strong communication skills, with an emphasis on cross-functional collaboration and working on challenging technical problems
What the job involves
- This is an opportunity to join a highly energized team of engineers eager to define and develop key concepts, solve complex challenges with real-world constraints and have a positive impact on our climate future. We will be focusing on migrating from a monolithic to a microservices architecture and delivering well defined contracts to the broader organization. The primary focus is to integrate any Distributed Energy Resource (DER) type into our platform in a way that enables multiple use cases without compromising quality and scalability
- As a staff engineer, you would support our mission by defining the technical vision and driving major initiatives, providing expertise and guidance from past industry experience, and autonomously developing high-quality solutions that balance multiple constraints while ensuring long-term flexibility
- Design and implement core platform features that solve for multiple constraints and use cases
- Drive the transition from a monolithic architecture to a microservices-based approach, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and improved system resilience
- Lead technical initiatives and provide guidance on data modeling, contract definition, and API development
- Develop back end solutions, ensuring well-structured, high-quality code with automated testing
- Lead the migration from a document-based database to a relational database, focusing on data modeling, schema design, and optimizing for performance and flexibility
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, internal engineering teams, and stakeholders to drive high-impact projects
- Work within real-world constraints to develop creative solutions that maintain platform flexibility and scalability
- Contribute to best practices for CI/CD, data modeling, and iterative development (e.g., PoCs, rapid prototyping, milestone-based execution)
- Mentor and support other engineers, fostering a strong technical culture of respect, open communication, and collaboration
Our take
Power grids are becoming increasingly complicated due to the increased usage of distributed energy resources (DER) in homes such as electric vehicles, home batteries, and thermostats. This complexity arises from the fragmented nature of DER providers and their lack of integration with management systems, making it difficult for renewable energy and other advanced grid services to operate reliably.
EnergyHub provides a DER management system that facilitates the management of DERs at scale, helping to provide the digital infrastructure for flexible electricity demand, voltage and frequency regulation and real-time analytics. It also provides end-to-end support for the acquisition, enrollment, and aggregation of customer-owned DERs.
Whilst the DER industry faces significant challenges in integrating into existing power grids, EnergyHub is providing the infrastructural and data flexibility required to future-proof the reliability of power networks. The company partners with major DER providers - Siemens, Nest and Tesla to name a few - and provides the technical support required for them to meet their long-term strategic goals and work towards a renewable future.
