Solar Project Developer

TerraVerde Energy is committed to supporting our communities as we navigate our path towards a decarbonized economy. More than half of the energy usage comes from commercial and industrial operations. Our mission is to democratize access to solar for all commercial electricity customers and accelerate the timeline to the decarbonization future. The path to that future is dependent on enabling businesses to support their buildings and reliably run their operations through clean and cheap electricity. We believe the electricity must be generated locally with solar and seamlessly integrated with storage, electric vehicle charging, and other Distributed Energy Resources.

To help us get there, we are seeking project development professionals to join our team as Project Developers. In this role, you will report to the Executive Vice President of Projects and will lead development of solar, storage, and distributed energy resources for our clients. Our clients include load serving entities and community choice aggregators that service 50,000 to 300,000 customers in their territories. We also work with transit agencies including the California High Speed rail who will be the largest electricity user in California. In this client facing role, you will be the day-to-day face of the company. You will need to capture client project requirements, understand the technical, legal, regulatory and permitting challenges to deliver a solution. From there, you’ll craft a plan to deliver projects through full implementation. To be successful, you will need a problem-solving mindset and the ability to drill into important details. However, you’ll also need the awareness to zoom out to the big picture to make sure to prioritize what is urgent before what is important.

Software Developer

We are building a web application that supports our internal team of analysts for the purpose of managing and analyzing the performance of distributed energy resources (DERs). This includes monitoring performance for DERs like solar panels and batteries, analyzing the cost benefits of those DERs, etc. We are uniquely positioned to bring these insights to our customers by building on our experience in modeling, deploying, and managing DERs for commercial entities.

TerraVerde works with municipal entities including school districts and city governments to help them design and deploy renewable energy projects. It really works! During our 12 years in business, we’ve managed over $400M in solar, energy storage, and energy conservation projects that have reduced greenhouse gas emissions and created energy cost savings for our customers.

We have assembled a small team of passionate people who care deeply about our company mission. We work to provide real solutions with measurable results for our customers.

About you

We are building web applications from the ground up and you will be a major part of that effort. Our current technology stack is:

• React/Redux
• Django (+ Django Rest Framework)
• Python (+ pandas)
• PostgreSQL
• Docker
• Terraform
• AWS

We are looking for a talented, dedicated Software Developer whose skillset spans as much of the stack as possible. We hire earnest, hardworking, low-ego teammates who produce quality code and who want to make a positive impact in a professional environment. Since our team is small, we want you to be a self-starter, capable of understanding the mission and unafraid to make some decisions on your own. We could have required something like 5+ years with Python and React, but we think it is better practice to provide a coding challenge to interested candidates to better understand your abilities.
