The Voltus platform connects any DER to any energy market across the US and Canada, providing flexibility, reliability, and resilience to the grid while generating revenue for our partners.
 
We hire teammates who are bright, gritty, and good and who have a genuine passion for delivering a cleaner energy future and for working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. We are a remote and virtual company, distributed across US, Canada, and abroad.
 

The Role

This Software Engineer position is appropriate for entry level to early career engineering candidates who are eager to build scalable software for Voltus. You'll join a fully remote team tackling complex energy industry challenges, collaborating with experienced engineers on our modern tech stack, and contributing to core systems that decarbonize the grid.

Technologies We Use

We build scalable software using Python, Postgres, Go, FastAPI, Temporal, Delta Lake, Clickhouse, Typescript, and React , running our services using Docker and the HashiCorp stack on AWS. We do not expect candidates to have a background in every tool listed here ; instead, we place a high value on strong foundational programming skills and a genuine eagerness to learn and grow.
