The Full-Stack Engineer will design and implement scalable solutions, participate in code reviews, and contribute to product development in the renewable energy sector.
We're looking for a Full-Stack Software Engineer who can help us tame complexity and build scalable solutions across our platform. You'll design and ship features end-to-end—from database schema to API design to React UI—while balancing performance, flexibility, and reliability.
What You'll Do
- Help design and select solutions to product challenges that balance technical tradeoffs and deliver customer value.
- Contribute high-quality code across the stack and actively participate in code reviews and design discussions.
- Explore new technology areas, including the application of AI to renewable energy workflows and document intelligence.
- Push our engineering culture to be even more nimble, efficient, and collaborative by drawing on your range of past experience and a team mindset.
- Get up to speed on the problem domain of renewable energy project development; bring ideas for product features and high-leverage infrastructure investments.
- Build systems that process complex data, enable real-time collaboration, and surface intelligent insights.
- Make architectural decisions about data models, API contracts, and system design that scale with our growth.
- Work closely with our Head of Product to scope features, assess feasibility, and suggest technical improvements that unlock new capabilities.
Who You Are
- You have 5+ years of software engineering experience building web applications across diverse projects.
- You bring broad, full-stack experience with technologies such as React, TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, and/or similar modern frameworks.
- You have a strong background in architecting scalable web services and developing innovative solutions to complex challenges.
- You have consistently demonstrated the ability to ramp up quickly and make meaningful technical and cultural contributions in previous roles.
- You excel at driving work forward in remote environments, effectively navigating competing priorities and communicating with clarity.
- You're excited to learn about renewable energy project finance and development, and you bring curiosity about how technology can accelerate the clean energy transition.
- You balance pragmatism with technical excellence—you know when to ship fast and when to invest in infrastructure.
Technical Experience
We're looking for:
- 5+ years professional software development experience
- 5+ years React.js with modern patterns (hooks, functional components)
- 5+ years backend development (Ruby on Rails)
- Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL) - schema design, queries, migrations
- API design experience - RESTful patterns, authentication, error handling
- Track record of shipping features end-to-end - you've seen features from conception to production
- Cloud infrastructure experience (AWS, Gitlab) - deploying, monitoring, debugging
- Self-directed - you can take a feature requirement and deliver it without constant oversight
- Strong communication - you can explain technical decisions to non-engineers
