As a Senior Software Engineer, you will help design and build AI-driven software platforms that enable utilities to make better operational, planning, and reliability decisions. You’ll work closely with product leadership, engineers, data scientists, and utility experts to translate complex business challenges into secure, scalable, and maintainable software solutions.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems, driving technical design, mentoring engineers, and delivering software that creates measurable customer value.

In this role, you will:

• Design and develop secure, scalable cloud-native applications and services.

• Develop APIs, microservices, and data-driven solutions.

• Promote software quality through testing, code reviews, and performance optimization.

• Mentor engineers and promote engineering best practices.

• Participate in technical planning, estimation, and delivery activities.

You’re likely a great fit if you:

• Thrive in ambiguous environments and can independently drive solutions.

• Can simplify complex technical and business challenges.

• Have strong system design and problem-solving skills.

• Communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Care about quality, reliability, and maintainable software.

And even better if you:

• Have utility, energy, infrastructure, or analytics domain experience.

• Have built AI-powered applications, agents, or RAG solutions.

• Have worked with knowledge graphs, graph databases, or geospatial technologies.

• Have worked in enterprise environments.

Experience and Skills to Qualify Include:

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with Java 17+.

• Experience designing and building applications on AWS.

• Experience with Spring Boot, Docker, Kubernetes, and microservices architectures.

• Experience with distributed systems, enterprise integrations, and APIs.

• Experience building AI-enabled applications leveraging large language models.

• Experience with Python and modern software development practices.

• Experience with relational and NoSQL databases.

• Experience with Git and modern software delivery practices.

• Strong communication, leadership, and mentoring skills.

• Proven ability to design, build, test, and deliver production-ready software.

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent experience.

At E Source, you’ll work alongside people who are thoughtful, curious, and deeply knowledgeable about utility and energy systems. We value clarity over jargon, substance over flash, and collaboration over ego. You’ll have the opportunity to grow your skills, contribute to meaningful work, and help shape a company that plays a real role in how the energy future unfolds.

What you can expect

• Excellent insurance options, including medical, dental, and vision plans; company-paid life insurance; company-paid long- and short-term disability insurance; medical and dependent-care flexible spending plans, and paid parental leave.

• A flexible time off (FTO) policy that provides paid time away from work, approved by your manager, while ensuring business needs, workload commitments, and appropriate coverage are maintained.

• A 401(k) plan with a 3% employer match.

The budgeted salary for this position is $100,000 to $130,000 USD + annual bonus. Actual pay will be adjusted based on experience.

This role will be 100% remote, with infrequent travel (generally 1–2 times per year).
