How to Apply for Software Engineer, SupportHub

at EnergyHub

🏢 About EnergyHub

EnergyHub is a clean energy company that empowers utilities and OEMs to manage distributed energy resources like smart thermostats and EV chargers. Their platform helps build a more sustainable and resilient grid, making them a key player in the energy transition. Working here means contributing directly to climate solutions in a remote-first culture.

About This Role

As a Software Engineer on the SupportHub team, you'll be the bridge between product development and real-world operations, diagnosing and resolving technical issues that affect energy programs. Your work ensures that data flows smoothly between EnergyHub, utilities, and device manufacturers, directly impacting the reliability of clean energy systems.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start by triaging overnight alerts, then dive into logs to diagnose a data pipeline issue. After a standup, you'll collaborate with a utility partner to configure a new program, and later submit a PR fixing a bug in the TypeScript frontend. The day ends with documenting your findings and updating dashboards.
