Sun Tribe Trading is the fastest-growing SREC aggregator, serving the mid-Atlantic.
Solar Renewable Energy Certificates, or SRECs, have proven to be a vital policy tool and financial incentive to make the clean energy transition happen. SRECs simultaneously align individuals, utilities, and government toward reaching our climate goals while also making solar financially feasible for many more homeowners, business, and asset owners.
We're building a customer-centric organization that makes SRECs easy for our partners and solar owners. Through our technology and market-friendly approach, we aim to help accelerate the clean energy transition.
About the role
This role presents a unique opportunity for an engineer who wants to solve problems in climate change that are affecting people right now. Our SREC aggregation software plays a vital role in the economics of the clean energy transition.
We need an engineer with both software and product design skills to lead the implementation of our customer-facing product. You're a maverick, a jack-of-all. You rapidly learn new frameworks and toolkits to get amazing things built. The role requires the skills to be able to architect and build sophisticated front-end applications with low-code tools. You have passion for great UX, a discerning design aesthetic, and a drive to execute rapidly so your work can delight users.
To build out our customer-facing web product, you'll be in a hybrid architecture comprising a modern API-based services backend integrated with one or more low-code platforms. You'll write JavaScript (or contract help) to augment functionality not achievable with low-code tools. You'll have a key stake in our product, informing its design and feature roadmap. You'll be constantly improving our product and adding functionality weekly, often daily. In coordination with our product manager, you'll be expected to work directly with users and partners to ensure we're building the exact right thing. You won't be starting from scratch, but as the lead engineer of our front end, you'll be in control of an evolving and dynamic architecture. You'll work closely with all members of the team in a highly collaborative setting. This is a critical role in our growing business-it's fun, fast, challenging, and the rewards roll in daily!
