Senior Software Engineer

Job Description

Station A is a technology company reimagining how clean energy is bought and sold. Our distributed team is made up of climate-minded technologists, strategists, and operators committed to making climate action a no-brainer for everyone.

We combine proprietary software with industry expertise to guide commercial real estate owners and operators through their decarbonization journey, starting with evaluation of their portfolios and culminating in transactions through our clean energy marketplace.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can own meaningful slices of the product end-to-end, ship quickly without cutting corners, and help raise the technical bar as the team scales. For example:

• Own discrete product areas end-to-end (e.g. a portfolio evaluation workflow, a scoring model, or a transaction flow), including clarifying requirements with Product, tech-speccing the solution, implementing backend & frontend changes, shipping, and supporting it in production.
• Be the owner for specific systems or services, including ongoing improvements, bug fixes, performance tuning, and technical debt in that area.
• Translate product goals into shipped code, including breaking down problems into scoped tickets, making pragmatic tradeoffs, and delivering incremental value week over week.

You’ll work across one of our core pods:

• Evaluation: geospatial analytics, data pipelines, site qualification, modeling
• Transaction: marketplace workflows, RFPs/RFQs, provider matching, deal execution

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys building real systems under ambiguity, collaborating tightly with Product and Design, and leaving codebases better than they found them.

Responsibilities:

• Own and ship end-to-end product work: from problem framing → design → implementation → rollout
• Build and maintain scalable backend systems and APIs (primarily Python + SQL)
• Contribute to frontend product surfaces (TypeScript / React) where needed
• Design pragmatic data models and workflows that support real customer use cases
• Improve system quality through testing, observability, and thoughtful refactors
• Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and other engineers to balance speed, scope, and correctness
• Help define “what good looks like” through code reviews, pairing, and example-setting
• Participate in technical discussions around architecture, tradeoffs, and platform evolution

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong backend experience with Python and SQL (Postgres preferred)
• Comfort working across the stack (you don’t panic when touching frontend code)
• Experience building and maintaining production systems with real users
• Solid fundamentals in system design, data modeling, and API design
• A bias toward shipping, paired with respect for maintainability and quality
• Clear communication skills—you can explain tradeoffs, not just implement them
• Experience working in startups or other ambiguous, fast-moving environments

Strong pluses:

• Experience with geospatial or data-heavy systems
• Familiarity with data pipelines or orchestration tools
• Exposure to marketplace, workflow, or B2B SaaS products
• Prior climate, energy, or infrastructure experience
• Mentorship experience or informal technical leadership

Benefits

We’re committed to supporting a healthy, sustainable life in and outside of work. Some benefits include:

• Remote-friendly work environment (U.S.-based) with co-working space opportunities
• Flexible PTO
• 15 paid holidays annually
• Monthly remote work stipend - $600 per year
• Learning & development budget to support your professional growth - $500 per year
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance

Compensation:

• We believe in pay transparency. The annual base salary for this role is $138k - $155k depending on your location. We also offer a performance-based annual bonus and equity.

• We are a fully remote organization and candidates based in CA, NV, OR, VA, WA, NY are preferred.

Our Commitment:

We believe diverse perspectives fuel better ideas and stronger outcomes. If you are excited about this role—even if you don’t meet 100% of the qualifications—we encourage you to apply.

Station A is an equal opportunity employer committed to building an inclusive, respectful workplace. Hiring decisions are based solely on qualifications, merit, and business needs.
