Do you dream about creating a more sustainable future? At Uplight, we are motivating energy users and providers to accelerate the clean energy ecosystem. Working with over 90 of the world’s leading electric and gas utilities, Uplight provides an end-to-end customer energy experience. Uplight delivers personalized experiences that customers have now come to expect–improving satisfaction, increasing revenue, reducing the cost to serve, and contributing to carbon reduction goals. We are B Corp certified, enabling us to put our values into action by not only making decisions for the benefit of our shareholders, but also for our customers, environment, employees, and community.

We are seeking a Software Engineer II to join our team and help us achieve our ambitious goals for our business and the planet.

What you get to do:

• Collaborate closely with your teammates to develop and deliver quality software solutions that help educate and motivate people to save energy and reduce their carbon footprints

• Partner with developers and data scientists across the Platform Analytics group to continue to innovate the core analytic solutions Uplight provides for energy consumers

What you will contribute:

• You will be a software engineer within the Platform Analytics group, focused on designing and building analytic services that are core to Uplight’s mission of helping energy consumers understand and reduce their energy usage and carbon footprint.

What you bring to Uplight:

• You enjoy collaborating with team members to solve technical problems and are excited to be part of a team
• People who succeed in this role can demonstrate technical fundamentals in software, with a strong desire to learn the details around the machine learning life-cycle
• Mid-level Python programming abilities are important, and you will likely also need to leverage other technologies such as FastAPI, Terraform, and CI/CD tools
• Experience developing and deploying services in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, etc.)
• Knowledge of Agile methodologies, best practices around writing unit and functional tests, and handling large data are also important

Bonus points:

• Exposure to deploying machine learning models into production, as well as the entire ML life-cycle

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women, marginalized genders and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Uplight we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
