Full-stack engineer at Gridium (San Francisco, CA) (allows remote)
Job Description
Gridium is fixing energy management and we need your help!
Gridium provides energy data analytics to large buildings to help them save energy. We manage over 120 million square feet of commercial real estate – and that number is growing fast. Our customers use our products to optimize their building operations, ultimately lowering their energy use and bills.
This is a hard problem. We take in huge amounts of data every day, and then apply complex machine learning and statistical algorithms to zero in on the energy efficiency opportunities our customers care about. We’re sitting on huge amounts of data, and we need to put that data to work. This is where you come in, helping to create features and visualizations to bring our data to life.
This is a hands-on role: You would be only the fifth member of our development team. This means you’ll be tackling big challenges, working directly with product management and the rest of the team to design and create new products. It is also a full-stack role. While the emphasis is on the front-end, we’re looking for someone who is competent in dynamic languages as well (Python, Ruby, etc.). This is a job for someone who loves to solve hard problems using a variety of technologies.
If you love to write code, ship products, and solve real problems that actually matter, please get in touch.
Skills Requirements
- Excellent front-end skills (Javascript, CSS, some kind of modern framework, etc.)
- Dynamic language experience (Python, Ruby, Perl, etc.)
- Although you will spend most of your time implementing front-end features, the ideal candidate will feel comfortable jumping in anywhere in the stack when needed.
- Familiarity with test-driven development.
- Ability to work in a distributed team. We don’t have a central office, and our “work from anywhere” policy affords you incredible flexibility. We want people who just get things done.
- You’re opinionated but diplomatic. We’re a small team. We want people who are smart, creative, and passionate about the problems we are solving.
- Comfortable with high levels of responsibility.
About Gridium
We are a young, venture-backed start-up with a rapidly growing customer base. Buildings make up 40% of the worldwide energy footprint. We believe that energy efficiency is the biggest opportunity in cleantech, and that better data will fundamentally change the way facilities professional manage their buildings. We also believe that an attention to design and delivering a great user experience are the keys to creating great products.
We are based in San Francisco, with employees in Chicago, Denver, and elsewhere. We are happy to work remotely with great individuals based anywhere in the U.S. The position comes with competitive salary, health insurance, 401(k), stock options, and our "choose your own" vacation policy -- take as much time off as you need to be happy and productive.
Just between you and us, this is a great time to join the company. We were recently named one of the Global Cleantech 100 and announced a major partnership with one of the largest utilities in the world to roll out an innovative energy efficiency program. We’ve carved out a distinct lead in a young but rapidly growing market. And we’re a small team where you can play a huge role in the company’s future. It’s not that often you get to have fun and make a big impact. Isn’t that worth a conversation?
