What the job involves

As a Back-End Software Engineer at Ascend Analytics, you will be part of a collaborative team advancing software solutions and analytics to support the clean-tech power revolution
Design and write clean, scalable, production code (our backend team primarily works in Python, and our frontend team works primarily in JavaScript)
Refactor code for improved performance, stability, and scalability
Develop automatic tests (such as unit and integration tests) and deployment scripts
Implement systems for collecting, storing, and working with data at scale
Work with our team of analysts and data scientists to integrate and generalize prototype mathematical and data science models within production software
Communicate clearly and effectively (orally and in writing) with both technical and nontechnical stakeholders
Mentor and guide junior engineers
Contribute to scoping and design discussions

The software development team follows an agile scrum process, and all team members are expected to contribute to technical design reviews, implementation strategies, operational system support, and sprint planning

Our take

Whilst many analytics companies in its industry made the switch to energy and renewable analytics in the last decade, Ascend Analytics has been at it for 20+ years, giving it the edge over the competition. The software and consulting company has been providing solutions for the power transition to renewables since 2002, and is a seasoned partner to more than 100 energy companies in North America and Europe.

The background of Ascend Analytics’ founders is complementary to its mission as well, proving its dedication to the union of technology and sustainability. With academic research, software development, and even wildfire rescue training under their combined belts, the founding trio is a solid foundation for a company with lofty targets.

Ascend Analytics was bootstrapped from birth until growth equity capital was raised in 2024 to accelerate product innovation. With this new capital, the company can continue to be an important player in the move to Net Zero for years to come—as long as its clients continue to make the necessary commitments.
