Over the last two years, we’ve seen a massive increase in global demand for our services. As a team, we are working to set new standards on how to build and run solar energy sites at peak efficiency. To help scale our team effectively and achieve our goals in 2022, we’re looking for a Sr. Frontend Developer to join our remote-first team. As a Developer, you’ll work along side real-world problem solvers, who are applying their talents to find opportunities in the industry that are not yet realized.
What We’re Building:
Roughly 70% of global power still comes from non-renewable polluting energy sources. As a climate-friendly and cost-effective energy solution, solar has the potential to drastically reduce our global CO2 emissions, helping to meet the World’s climate obligations for a clean energy transition. However, getting sites up and running is only the beginning. Once solar projects are built, many factors can interfere with performance. What we know from a recent industry report is that solar projects are underperforming by up to 6.3% on average. This number may seem inconsequential, but if these facilities continually perform shy of targets, this could interfere with private investment causing a ripple effect. Aligning financial risk and reward with low-carbon energy investments is critical for shifting the economy in the direction of reduced emissions. Without substantial private sector investment in clean energy, it will be more difficult, more costly, and more time-consuming to address climate change on a global scale.
At Heliolytics, we’re working with our client partners to close that performance gap in order to enable a sustainable transition to clean energy and secure the future of our industry. We’re building a suite of industry-leading tools and services to enable our clients, which include some of the largest solar energy producers in the world, to maximize their energy output each year. Exceptional software development is integral to us fulfilling our mission of enabling a net-zero carbon society. Every marginal increase in efficiency is a huge win for our team, our client partners, and the environment. To date, our optimizations have resulted in increased energy production equivalent to 130,500 car-years of CO2 reductions.
Our Research & Development Team:
We manage our entire workflow in-house, from gathering imagery data using industry-leading tools and techniques to providing clear, actionable insights for clients to make the best decisions for their renewable energy assets. Our Research & Development Team works across all functions of our business to build and support processes, tools and products. This spans the foundational infrastructure that enables the team to build the solutions our clients rely on every day.
You will be working on things like:
- Building the internal tools and projects that support: the analysis of solar inspection data, scheduling and deployment of our services globally, and exploring, investigating and drawing conclusions from complex data sets
- Supporting the development of Heliolytics products that: enables clear understanding of asset conditions and actionable next-steps, delivers the right information to our clients, whether its someone managing a global portfolio or a single asset, or an individual replacing a solar module, and helps our clients organize, view and contextualize streams of related data to make better decisions
To be successful you ‘ll need to:
- steer the team towards well defined, compelling goals and keep teams functioning at a high standard
- facilitate and lead a process with End Users to draw out deep insight into their needs and can create solutions that elegantly solve many of their needs that they are aware or may not be aware of
- train others on collaborative design and thinking, including best practices in internal processes
- be well versed in multiple levels of the tech stack with the ability to evaluate alternatives at each level
- collaboratively set standards for testing and validation as well as team metrics that align with overall goals
- be effective at role-modelling and setting standards
Tech stacks/languages that we use:
- JS Frameworks (React, Next.js preferred)
- Deck.gl et al for geospatial rendering
- GraphQL
- Kubernetes
- Python
