Senior Fullstack Engineer

EnergyHub empowers utilities and their customers to create a clean, distributed energy future. We help consumers turn their smart thermostats, EVs, batteries, and other products into virtual power plants that keep the grid stable and enable higher penetration of solar and wind power.

EnergyHub thrives at the intersection of energy production and consumption, driving a Triple Bottom Line for energy utilities, consumers, and the planet. And we talk about it with Business Terms. We benefit the grid by reducing load at peak times, saving money on the purchase of wholesale electricity, reducing the need for costly construction and upgrades, and ensuring that consistent, reliable power is served at all times. We benefit consumers by providing direct financial rewards for access to their internet-connected devices like thermostats, electric vehicles, and home batteries. Finally, we benefit the planet by enabling the use of more renewable energy and accelerating decarbonization.

In addition to the sheer delight of working somewhere that has a mission you can really get behind, we get to work in fascinating data with modern tooling and have a ton of flexibility in how we solve the problems our business encounters. It’s a collaborative and supportive group that wants to see you win just as badly as we want the business to win. In conclusion: we collaborate joyfully, build really cool stuff, and are doing our part to save the world a little bit more every day.
