How to Apply for Support Development Engineer

at EnergyHub

🏢 About EnergyHub

EnergyHub is a mission-driven company focused on creating a sustainable energy future through distributed energy resources. Unlike traditional energy companies, they specialize in connecting utilities, OEMs, and customers to optimize grid reliability and clean energy adoption. Working here means contributing directly to climate solutions while collaborating with industry leaders in the clean tech space.

About This Role

As a Support Development Engineer at EnergyHub, you'll bridge technical support and software development by troubleshooting production issues, configuring data flows between partners, and implementing fixes across Java, Python, and TypeScript codebases. This role is impactful because you'll ensure the reliability of systems that manage distributed energy resources, directly supporting utilities and OEMs in their clean energy initiatives.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start by investigating a production issue reported by a utility partner, analyzing Java application logs and database queries to identify the root cause. You'd then collaborate with engineering teams on a fix, update Python scripts for data cleanup, and configure new data attributes for an OEM integration—all while maintaining clear communication with both internal stakeholders and external partners.
