EcoTrove Founding Engineer 

About EcoTrove:
At EcoTrove (ecotrove.com), our mission is to make clean energy affordable and accessible. We are an AI-powered climate tech startup that empowers individuals and businesses to lower their energy costs while reducing their carbon footprint. At EcoTrove, we foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and impact-driven work. We believe in empowering our team to make bold decisions and grow alongside the company. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team where every voice is heard, and every perspective matters. 

After recently closing a pre-seed round, we are now seeking a Founding Full-Stack Engineer to join our founding team and help shape a transformative business that will lead the green energy revolution in the U.S.

The Role:

As our Founding Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping EcoTrove’s platform. You'll have the opportunity to work across the full stack—crafting a seamless frontend experience using React and TypeScript, building scalable backend services with Node.js, and setting up robust data pipelines with Python. If you also have experience in machine learning with Python, that's a big plus! You will be expected to design systems that can scale efficiently, ensuring performance remains high as we grow. Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) and containerization platforms are a plus.

What You’ll Do:

  • Collaborate directly with the founders to drive product development and bring innovative ideas to life.
  • Own and maintain the full technology stack: frontend, backend, and data infrastructure.
  • Design and develop intuitive, user-friendly interfaces with React and TypeScript.
  • Build and architect APIs and backend services using Node.js.
  • Implement real-time data pipelines with Python.
  • Embrace challenges, grow with the role, and help shape EcoTrove from the ground up, contributing to a mission that truly matters.

Who You Are:

  • 3+ years of experience as a software engineer, ideally within technology startups.
  • B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Computer Science or a related field.
  • Proven full-stack development skills, particularly with React, Node.js, and TypeScript.
  • Proficient in Python for data pipeline development (bonus points for machine learning experience).
  • Enthusiastic about joining a fast-growing team committed to making clean energy the standard in the U.S.
  • A highly efficient problem-solver who can deliver in days what others might take weeks.
  • Passionate or curious about the energy and climate tech space.
  • A self-starter capable of leading and executing unstructured projects with minimal guidance.
  • A great communicator.

Why Join Us:

  • Play a key role in building a company that will define the future of green energy.
  • Enjoy a hybrid work setup—3 days in-person in the San Francisco Bay Area, with remote flexibility for the rest.
  • Competitive compensation ($100,000 - $150,000 base salary) + flexible time off + generous equity + a comprehensive benefits package. 
  • Opportunity to advance into engineering leadership roles as EcoTrove scales.
