Location
We have worked remotely since March 2020 and do not have an office right now. Most of us live in the Boston area and we plan to get an office in Boston at some point in 2022. Our plan is to have a hybrid environment where team members can work remotely or in the office. We are currently accepting candidates that live in the states of MA, WA, CO, NY, and Washington D.C. If you are outside these states you may still apply, as our list may change in the future.
About Us
We run the most widely used Home Energy Rating Software which is used on about 1 in 4 of new homes built in the US each year. Our clients for this product are home energy raters who work with home builders to help design more energy efficient homes and then inspect and certify those homes. We also help utilities run their energy efficiency programs more effectively and are actively exploring new areas where we can grow our impact and business.
We employ a modified Scrum framework. We have regular team planning, demo, and retrospective meetings and daily Scrums. We have short development cycles and a tight customer feedback loop. We promote transparency, respect, self-improvement, and fulfillment.
Ekotrope offers a full benefits package, including comprehensive health insurance and a 401K program. We are currently all working from home but will be looking for a new office in Boston, likely the Downtown Crossing area (blocks from all of the subway/T lines, commuter rail and buses).
