## Job description

The Program Engineering Team owns a core part of our platform: how customer programs are configured and maintained across a growing set of product offerings. You will help evolve a critical system that sits at the intersection of product, platform engineering, and operations. This is an opportunity to join an energized team bringing clarity to complex domains, building systems that scale as the business grows, modernizing the user experience, and having a positive impact on our climate future.

As a senior engineer, you would support our mission by developing high-quality solutions across the stack — bringing structure to our data, standing up new services and tooling, and building client-facing capabilities on top of them.

Main Responsibilities

- Own the design of an authoritative source of truth for program configuration, and lead the migration path to get there.
- Lead schema design and data flow architecture through a collaborative and inclusive process.
- Build and maintain microservices and APIs that other teams confidently depend on, using contract-driven development practices.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, designers, internal engineering teams, and other stakeholders to contribute to high-impact projects.
- Mentor and support other engineers, fostering a strong technical culture of respect, open communication, and collaboration.

## Key Skills and Experience

- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with proven success at senior-level responsibilities.
- Senior-level experience with the Java + Spring ecosystem
- Experience with web services, RESTful APIs, and contract-driven development.
- Strong experience in testing methodologies, and full SDLC best practices
- Strong communication skills, with an emphasis on cross-functional collaboration and working on challenging technical problems.
- Ability to operate autonomously, providing technical vision and guiding the team toward scalable solutions.

## Preferred Skills and Experience

- Experience contributing to a real data migration — consolidating conflicting data from multiple sources into a single source of truth and cutting over without breaking downstream consumers.
- Experience with Domain-Driven Design and decomposing monolithic systems into services with clear ownership boundaries.
- Experience with multiple data stores, both relational and NoSQL (We use MongoDB, Postgres, and Snowflake, among others).
- Experience with protocol buffers and gRPC communications.
- Experience with frontend development (Typescript + React), or a willingness to learn it.
- Experience working on highly configurable software products a plus.
- Familiarity with the energy, DER, or virtual power plant domain a plus (learnable on the job).

Please note that sponsorship of new applicants for employment authorization, or any other immigration-related support, is not available for this position at this time.

Why work for EnergyHub?

- Collaborate with outstanding people: Our employees work hard, do great work, and enjoy collaborating and learning from each other.
- Make an immediate impact: New employees can expect to be given real responsibility for bringing new technologies to the marketplace. You are empowered to perform as soon as you join the team!
- Gain well rounded experience: EnergyHub offers a diverse and dynamic environment where you will get the chance to work directly with executives and develop expertise across multiple areas of the business.
- Work with the latest technologies: You'll gain exposure to a broad spectrum of IoT, SaaS and machine learning obstacles, including distributed fault-tolerance, device control optimization, and process modeling to support scalable interaction with disparate downstream APIs.
- Be part of something important: Help create the future of how energy is produced and consumed. Make a positive impact on our climate.
