What we’re looking for:
We are seeking a resourceful, versatile Software Engineer to join our Professional Services team. There they will build integrations between our products on behalf of customers and will help customize the data delivery pipeline. This will include integrating with APIs provided by Arcadia and third-parties as well. The ideal candidate is a low-ego team player who approaches engineering problems and potential solutions with a unique, holistic, and long-term perspective and is genuinely excited to build the software expanding renewable energy adoption by both businesses and consumers. We’re looking for an inquisitive, analytical problem-solver who possesses both grit and flexibility -- our work often involves implementing unconventional solutions and requires someone who’s not afraid to explore new domains when previous methods fail, sort through minute details, or find non-engineering ways around a problem. This person must be comfortable with iterating towards a solution and collaborating closely with colleagues in Customer Data Integration (CDI), Customer Success (CS), Product, SRE, InfoSec, Data Engineering, and Analytics along the way.
Our Delivery and customer integration uses a micro services architecture that makes heavy use of Python, EC2, EKS and database technologies. We are responsible for building integrations into APIs and using custom integration mechanisms to deliver our utility data to customers.
This role is a hybrid remote-first approach with Chennai as the anchor location and is an exceptional opportunity for someone who relishes the chance to engage with cutting-edge technology, influence how our team builds and stays relevant, and work in a fast-paced environment with engineers on a high-morale, tightly knit team. Our engineering values are deeply ingrained in our culture-- you can read more about them here.
