EnergySage Engineering

You love solving problems. More than that, you want to take part in solving the defining problem of our time: powering the world sustainably. You’re talented, you’re creative, and you’re focused — but you want to work on a problem that actually matter_s._ And you want to work at a place full of friendly, kind, and mission-oriented people.

We’re the EnergySage engineering team that has built the number one online comparison-shopping marketplace for all things green and renewable energy. Through unbiased information, transparency, and choice, we strive to make the experience of going solar as easy as booking a flight online.

We believe in people and interactions over heavy processes. We value quality and best practices, but are also pragmatic enough to realize that we sometimes have to ship before it’s perfect. We work hard but also value our teammates as people, respecting their time outside of the office — work-life balance is our norm rather than our wish. We have fun but, more importantly, we invest in people, want to see them grow, and empower them to bring new ideas and innovations to life. We have a collaborative team of skilled engineers that support each other in learning and solving hard problems.

What We Look For:

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience; may be a combination of coursework, internships/co-ops, jobs
  • Able to design and implement features in a commercial web application with minimal guidance. Comfortable working with loosely defined requirements and helping to define the right solution.
  • Able to work productively and quickly with Python, Django, and MySQL in a Unix environment within a couple of months of being hired.
  • Able to debug and troubleshoot complex issues.
  • Able to reason about and make smart tradeoffs between data structures, algorithms and efficiency, and object oriented design. (A CS degree is helpful).
  • Dependable team player with excellent communication skills

For more information about our tech stack, please see our stackshare here. Candidates are not expected to know all the languages and tools we list, but should be able to learn what is needed for their role (front-end, back-end, or full-stack).

Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job - but we believe there's no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications above, we’d still love to hear from you. Tell us about the unique qualities you might bring in your cover letter.
