Develop, scale, and support QuitCarbon’s software applications and services, including core technology like our Electrification Engine

Generate “Electrification Plans” using a unique combination of structured data, natural language generation, large language models (LLMs), and human editors to guide and motivate homeowners.

Continually improve our underlying algorithms and data models (including home, energy, economic, and climate, and more) that make our data assets a unique competitive advantage.

Develop our “Incentives API” that ensures everyone – not just rich households – can have access to affordable, clean, renewable energy via rebates and tax credits.

Build a scalable backend and hyper-localized customer experience to expand to every metro area in the country.

Experience: 5+ years of experience focused on MVC web-based software development in frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, Django, or Laravel in a production environment. Prior startup experience would help!

Ruby on Rails: Expertise in the Ruby programming language and the Rails framework for building web applications.

JavaScript: Ability to write and test JavaScript code potentially used for front-end functionality

Database Management: Understanding of PostgreSQL database and using rake tasks to manage database schema.

Testing: Experience writing automated tests and building on testing frameworks like RSpec for Ruby code and Mocha/expect.js for JavaScript code.

Version Control: GitHub

Cloud Services: Familiarity using cloud services like Sentry,

CI/CD: Familiarity with Heroku for deploying and managing applications in the cloud.

Technical Leadership: Ability to be a self-starter and drive towards a stable solution for technical problems. Experience mentoring developers and collaborating with non-technical and semi-technical stakeholders.

Project Management: Ability to be largely self-managed and seamlessly collaborate via platforms like Linear, Jira, and Slack.

Availability: Be available daily to respond to team requests via Slack and Linear and be open to joining occasional calls and technical huddles during US business hours.

Bonus Points: Experience with energy, building science, climate, economic modeling, or marketplaces, and a passion for solving the climate crisis!
