About the Role

Amply is an early-stage software startup making complete electrification easy for homeowners and installers. Our mission is to make 100M homes across the U.S. reliably comfortable, healthy, and affordable for people and the planet.

Electrification today requires homeowners to navigate a gauntlet of complex and frustrating steps. Piecemeal retrofits of heat pumps, solar, weatherization, electrical panels, water heaters, EV chargers and more not only require expertise from 5-6 different installers but also leads to suboptimal outcomes for consumers (lower performance, higher costs) and installers (lower productivity) alike. This customer/installer experience will not lead to the widespread adoption we need to rapidly eliminate the 20% of U.S. emissions that are coming from homes.

We are building a platform that digitizes the energy upgrade process (we ingest public and private data), evaluates each home as a system, provides a tailored electrification roadmap and makes the retrofit a breeze for customers and installers.

We are looking for a senior software engineer who believes in our mission and can help create homeowner, installer, and internal-facing experiences that delight and a platform that scales.

This role can be remote anywhere within the United States with a preference for EST timezone (our distributed team is primarily based in Maine/Massachusetts.)

Amply is an early-stage startup building game-changing software for heat pump pros. Residential buildings represent 20% of all U.S. carbon emissions, of which more than half are related to home heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Therefore, retrofitting 80 million home HVAC systems with modern heat pumps is the single biggest residential decarbonization opportunity we have. It is critical we get this once-in-a-generation shift infrastructure and building electrification transition right.

Getting it right begins with the right design. Replacing a conventional HVAC system with a heat pump is not a simple "box swap" – heat pumps are far more sensitive to sizing and equipment selection assumptions. There are also concerns about aesthetics, rebates, operational costs, and more. For heat pump professionals, often the salesperson, these details end up as hours of "homework" on nights and weekends for every project (or they just don’t get done at all).

We founded Amply to make the lives of heat pump professionals easier, make homeowners happier, and deliver on the potential of heat pumps to reduce emissions. If we make heat pump pro’s lives easier, they’ll have more capacity to accelerate this generational shift in infrastructure. Homeowners delighted with their heat pumps will spur more rapid adoption. And right-sized systems will improve home comfort and health while minimizing carbon emissions and electric grid impact.
