About David Energy

David Energy is creating a new kind of power company. Traditional Retail Electricity Providers (REPs) are outdated, opaque, and painful for customers to engage with. We use software to monitor our customers' real-time energy usage, and we aggregate and analyze that data to maximize the value they get from their energy assets – batteries, EVs, HVAC systems and other distributed energy resources (DERs) via participation in energy markets. Our mission is to run the grid on clean energy 24/7.

What we’re looking for

We are seeking a skilled Senior Software Engineer to join our team at David Energy.

We’re looking for someone with experience in software development who is passionate about building clean energy solutions. You don’t need to have experience in the energy industry, but you should be excited about making a difference in the world. We believe that diverse teams lead to better solutions, so we encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.

We're hiring engineers to build products that serve our small commercial customers. We're installing batteries and controlling those devices to shift our customers' energy load and save them thousands of dollars a year, per location. In doing so, we aim to make operating a small business easier and fundamentally shift the way that energy is generated, supplied, charged for, and consumed to be renewably sourced 24/7.

Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain the backend systems of our platform, including APIs, databases, and third-party integrations.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement new features and tools.

  • Ensure the security, scalability, and reliability of our systems.

Qualifications
  • You have 5+ years of experience in software development, with a focus on backend engineering.

  • You have demonstrated excellence in at least one back-end web framework (e.g., Flask, Django, Ruby on Rails, etc), cloud service (e.g. AWS, GCP), and RDBMS (e.g. PostgreSQL)

    • Note, we use Flask/Python, AWS, and Postgres but we're flexible on what experience you have as long as you're a quick learner!

  • You have experience designing systems that scale, building resilient, highly available services, and understand the tradeoffs between building a sophisticated architecture that works forever and a simple architecture that works today.

  • You have excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

  • You understand the importance of open-mindedness and compassion in cultivating a collaborative environment. You are committed to engaging constructively in brainstorming sessions and exchanging feedback on a wide range of ideas.

  • You have curiosity about how to use all tools around you to make you a better engineer, including AI-based development tooling such as Cursor, Claude Code, or whatever else has come out since we wrote this job description!

Benefits
  • Base salary range of $170,000 – $210,000 plus equity, depending on experience

  • Group medical and dental insurance

  • Flexible vacation/PTO policy

  • 401k

  • Hybrid office culture, with team members remote and working from our offices in New York City
