How to Apply for Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer — Solar Design Tools

at Revamp Engineering

🏢 About Revamp Engineering

Revamp Engineering is dedicated to advancing renewable energy projects, offering a mission-driven environment where your work directly contributes to sustainability. As a remote-first company, they value autonomy and impact, making them an attractive choice for engineers who want to combine technical excellence with environmental purpose.

About This Role

As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer, you'll architect and build a new internal design platform for utility-scale solar projects, integrating UI, file pipelines, and AutoCAD interfaces. This role is pivotal in streamlining solar design, directly accelerating renewable energy deployment.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a standup to align with the product owner on design rules, then dive into coding a new UI component for solar panel layout. After lunch, you'd review a junior dev's pull request on the file pipeline, then debug an AutoCAD integration issue. Late afternoon, you'd research optimization algorithms for terrain shading analysis.
