Engineering at EnergySage
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. Join us as we strive to be our best — because continuing the modern way of life requires easily accessible renewable energy.
Director of Engineering
As Director of Engineering, you will play a pivotal role in leading and managing multiple teams of talented software engineers who build the supplier side of our platform. Your focus will be on delivering high-quality software solutions that align with our company's strategic goals and delight our customers. You will provide technical and architectural leadership, guide the software development process, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive both excellence in software engineering practices and business outcomes. The successful candidate will possess strong leadership skills, a proven track record of delivering complex software projects, and experience with the transition from the startup to scale-up phase.
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 matters. And you want to work at a place full of friendly, kind, and mission-oriented people.
