[Hiring] Staff Software Engineer, Data and Partner Platform @EnergyHub

Role Description

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our Data and Partner Platform team (DAP) and help shape the future of energy technology. In this role, you will operate at the intersection of deep technical craft and broad organizational impact - driving architectural decisions, mentoring engineers, and building systems that are reliable, scalable, and grounded in the realities of the energy industry.

You will be a key technical voice across engineering and a trusted partner to product, operations, and business teams alike. The Data and Partner Platform team manages partner integrations, data translation, and our Snowflake account. We work closely with most teams across the organization and drive critical platform engineering that runs core business functionality.

The team is driven, diverse, and wildly talented. We are driving foundational improvements that improve our agility and speed while maintaining legacy systems.

Main Responsibilities

• Technical leadership and vision
  • Champion long-term excellence by envisioning ideal approaches to complex processes and translating the vision into well-scoped, measurable initiatives that can be prioritized alongside business goals.
  • Coordinate across engineering teams to align on technical direction, standards, and best practices.
  • Develop deep domain expertise in utility programs, demand responses, DER lifecycles, wholesale energy markets, and the regulatory realities that shape them.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering leadership to strike the right balance between business-driven and team-driven priorities.
  • Build the absolutely coolest stuff of your career and give yourself something to be deeply proud of.
• Systems design and data engineering
  • Architect and implement scalable systems for ingesting, processing, observing, and maintaining billions of data points.
  • Lead schema design and data flow architecture through a collaborative and inclusive process.
  • Design and build integrations with partner and third party APIs, including OEMs, utility, and data partners.
  • Build and maintain microservices and APIs that other teams confidently depend on.
• Operational excellence and incident response
  • Drive investigations end to end, from initial alert through root cause analysis to resolution.
  • Build operational scripts, runbooks, and detection tooling that transform one-time triage into repeatable capability for the team.
  • Pursue root causes beyond their symptoms, never accepting "it's working now” without a clear understanding of why it failed.
  • Monitor cloud costs across the team’s toolset to maintain efficiency and justify expenditure.
• Cross functional collaboration and mentorship
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with partner teams across engineering, partner solutions, and business development.
  • Mentor and develop engineers across the team and broader organization.
  • Manage access and roles across the stack to deliver predictable, compliant experiences.
  • Contribute to product quality by building new features, improving existing ones, and retiring deprecated functionality.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience with demonstrated staff-level responsibilities or equivalent scope.
• Proven full-stack engineering background with experience scaling distributed systems and designing solidly-architected microservices.
• Strong proficiency with gRPC/protobuf, RESTful APIs, and contract driven development across multi-repository service meshes.
• Clear understanding of the distinction between OLAP and OLTP relational databases.
• Demonstrated experience integrating complex partner and third party APIs as well as building and maintaining file-driven data pipelines.

Requirements

• Relentless drive for quality and performance, with strong testing discipline spanning unit, integration, TDD, and end to end approaches.
• Proactive approach to observability.
• Strong data-integrity instincts and incident-response composure.
• Experience in support-adjacent roles including on-call rotations, triage, or customer facing resolution.
• Thoughtful, judicious use of AI/LLM tooling to improve efficiency without over-reliance.

Benefits

• 100% paid medical for employees.
• 401(k) with employer match.
• Casual environment with flexibility to set your own schedule.
• Fully stocked fridge and pantry.
• Free Citi Bike membership and secure bike rack.
• Gym subsidy.
• Paid parental leave.
• Education assistance program.
