Senior Software Engineer

7+ years of experience designing, shipping, and operating production software systems.

A proven track record of operating with absolute self-direction—capable of taking a loosely defined, high-level mandate and driving it to production with minimal to no supervision.

Experience navigating the fast-paced, evolving environments typical of early-stage companies, scaling startups, or operating as a founding engineer.

Growth & Leadership Readiness: While this role begins as an elite Individual Contributor, you possess the communication skills, high emotional intelligence (EQ), and mentoring instincts required to anchor, build, and formally lead an engineering team as the organization scales. Mastery of modern backend systems (e.g., Node.js/TypeScript, Python, or Go) coupled with significant frontend architectural experience (e.g., React, Angular, Vue).

Advanced Infrastructure Experience: Direct production experience provisioning cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP) using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation).

AI Integration Mastery: Deep familiarity with AI-assisted and agentic development workflows, with a strong internal compass for auditing, correcting, and securing agent-generated outputs.

Familiarity with our stack: AWS, GitLab, Auth0, Grafana, Terraform, Kafka, Node.js, Nestj.s, TypeScript, Apollo GraphQL, React, Ant Design, Vitest, Playwright, and PostgreSQL.

Experience building internal platforms, developer tooling, or automation systems.

Experience operating distributed systems at scale.

Background in utility-scale energy generation, emphasis on renewables

Own outcomes, not assignments: You focus on the final business value delivered, not just closing out tickets.

Have strong opinions that are loosely held: You advocate fiercely for technical excellence but pivot gracefully when presented with better data.

Operate with a founder's mentality: You are self-accountable, self-correcting, and proactively identify risks and scaling opportunities before they become critical.

Create clarity from chaos: You excel at parsing noise, identifying core constraints, and bringing alignment to cross-functional teams.
