Jr. Software Engineer

Overview: We are a technology startup on a mission to decarbonize the built environment.
At Carbon Lighthouse our four Core Values foster and encourage the behaviors we believe will help us achieve our mission fastest and will cultivate the day-to-day interactions we want to have to be the best we can be.

*
Client-Centricity

  • Get It Done & Kaizen
  • Accountable Teamwork
  • Kindness

Together, these four core values work by:

  • Focusing us on the client needs through which we can decarbonize the planet while meeting the marketplace’s pain points, enabling us to scale
  • Pushing us to solve those problems quickly, while continuously making improvements
  • Achieving our objectives by being a high-performing team that supports and demands excellence of one another, and holds each other accountable to those standards, while
  • Leading us to treat each other with kindness as we solve those problems.

Carbon Lighthouse is looking for an adaptable, self-motivated, Software Engineer to work and grow with us to envision and build out our software platform and accelerate environmental impact. Along the way, you’ll learn all about energy efficiency, solar, real estate markets, and construction.
We have taken the first step of transforming our data analysis and thermodynamics modeling toolset into a robust software platform, called CLUES®, built on the latest web technologies. Now it’s time to take our platform to the next level and convert it into the tool we use to fulfill our mission and have a global impact. Your role will initially concentrate on streamlining the flow of data from wireless sensors through CLUES, implementing optimization and machine learning to drive the automation of our analytics and modeling process, and looking for ways to scale CLUES to a platform that enables us to stop climate change.
Your immediate career path will concentrate on designing and building out both the frontend and backend of CLUES, with many growth opportunities for specialization and management as our company expands.
You should have a bachelor’s degree in computer science (or similar), 1-3 years of professional software development experience, and be excited by complex and open-ended engineering problems. You genuinely enjoy working on collaborative teams, and want to be involved in large scale challenges that require long term effort. While this role involves significant software development work, you will also spend time interacting with Carbon Lighthouse mechanical engineers, project managers, and energy performance engineers to connect our software to our real-world mission.
