About The Position

This role is a Lead Developer / Architect supporting Energy Procurement Settlements platform, responsible for developing and maintaining calculation scripts that generate Power and Gas contract invoices using eStar-Alchemy framework. The position involves translating complex energy contract terms and settlement rules into technical calculation templates, integrating data from multiple sources such as meter data, gas load metrics, outage data, and third-party pricing inputs. The role also supports application monitoring, enhancements, and production support for the settlement calculation engine built on eStar-Alchemy with Java, React, Oracle, and Excel. Seeking TECH STACK: .net programmer with complex calculations, java, Oracle, React, python Can be Utility/ telecommunication or another complex billing environment Fully remote, but will have support PST / California work hours. This person will review complex contracts - a person with billing or insurance expertise. There are 16 data points to align complex data ( interpret rules and translating technical specs is the gist of this role!!!) Translate contracted terms of suppliers who provide contracted energy. TAKE THE INFORMATION AND PRODUCE CODING SCRIPTS TO GENERATE THE BILLING/ INVOICE. Position eStar-Alchemy Lead Developer-Lead Analyst/Architect to develop and maintain coding scripts used to generate Power and Gas Contract Invoices. The work is done using proprietary eStar Alchemy programming language and platform. Background In support of Energy Procurement LOB, the work focuses on the development and enhancement of calculation templates capable of generating invoices based on complex business logic and data-driven inputs. The project leverages eStar-Alchemy, a proprietary programming language and framework that accelerates the development of calculation templates by ten-folds as well as a technology stack that includes Java, React JS, Oracle, and Excel. The primary objective of the eStar-Alchemy project is to enable the design and implementation of invoice calculation templates that incorporate sophisticated computations, including true-ups derived from meter data, ambient conditions, outage information, gas load metrics, and third-party pricing inputs. These templates are intended to support accurate, consistent, and auditable invoice generation aligned with business requirements. This project presents inherent complexity due to the advanced logic required to build and maintain the calculation templates, as well as the dynamic nature of business requirements that may necessitate changes across multiple calculation templates.
