Software Engineer II

Uplight

2d•$105,000 - $130,000•Remote

About The Position

Uplight is creating a new category of energy. We make software that manages energy resources in homes and businesses including things like smart thermostats, electric vehicles, solar panels, storage batteries, heat pumps, and even people’s behavior to generate, shift, or save energy to balance the grid, making it more efficient and reliable. This creates clean energy capacity that can be used by the power grid instead of burning more fossil fuels. Our solutions accelerate the transition to clean energy and save money for energy customers. We're looking for a Software Engineer II to join our Data Platform team and help scale the infrastructure behind Uplight's data ecosystem. How you will make an impact: You'll join a remote-first data platform team working on the infrastructure-as-code, enablement tooling, and platform administration that ensure teams across the company can use our Databricks platform effectively. Instead of building product pipelines, you'll contribute to the platform layer that everyone else builds upon, helping keep it reliable, secure, and easy to use. You'll also help maintain existing MLOps tooling and legacy ETL infrastructure. If you like working at the overlap of cloud infrastructure and data platforms, and you want your work to support clean energy, this is a great fit.
