Software Engineer

As a software engineer at Nira, you'll work on software and data products that our customers use every week. Your work will directly accelerate renewables getting built. This work could include rolling out new regions, adding new features or even building brand new products out.

Nira operates in the niche world of Grid Interconnection, which means as a SWE, you'll get to learn about how new renewables get connected to the grid. Day to day, you'll work very closely with Transmission Planning Engineers (TPEs) to get your job done. Both the SWEs and TPEs only have half the picture, so our teams have to be extremely cross-discipline and collaborative. Most teams are structured with 1 PM, 1 SWE and 1 TPE.

• Work on software and data products that customers use weekly
• Accelerate renewable energy development through your work
• Collaborate closely with Transmission Planning Engineers in cross-disciplinary teams
• Build and maintain Python data pipelines with occasional frontend work

Your work will directly accelerate renewable energy projects getting built, helping convert the US power grid to be 100% fossil-free by making it easier and cheaper for renewable energy developers to connect to the electrical grid.

• 4+ years as a Software Engineer
• Mission-oriented and focused on working on climate
• Excited about working with Transmission Engineers
• Operate well in ambiguity and able to take ownership over large pieces of work
• Capable of rolling with the punches; plans change at a growing startup
• Python experience is a plus
• We are hiring any kind of SWE, except for pure frontend engineers

No specific benefits, compensation, or perks mentioned in the job description.
