We are looking for passionate technologists to join us on our mission to create a zero carbon, zero bill, zero friction future for our customers. Our internal venture studio is where we turn groundbreaking ideas into reality. We’re not just building digital solutions; we’re architecting a sustainable energy future.

*Digital Leadership: Leading and managing the approval of the venture technology, data and security choices through the necessary business approval processes

*Collaborate cross-functionally: Work hand-in-hand with Entrepreneurs in Residence (EIRs), product managers, and developers and other product teams, both internally and from suppliers to translate business requirements into clear technical blueprints.

*Evaluate technologies: Assess and select the right modern tech stacks, third-party tools, and cloud infrastructure to give our new ventures a competitive edge.

*Architectural Mastery: You have a proven track record of designing modern, cloud-native applications (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and a deep understanding of microservices and API-first designs.

*Strong analytical and problem-solving skills: You can untangle complex technical requirements, anticipate bottlenecks, and map out clear, elegant, and practical solutions.

*Experience with lean startup methodologies: You’re familiar with rapid prototyping and iterative development, and you know how to balance "perfect" architecture with the need for speed.

*Expert Communicator: You have the innate to explain complex technical concepts in an easy to understand and structured method to business stakeholders

*A self-starter: You have a bias for action, aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves and write code when needed, and have a relentless focus on achieving results.
