At Opower, we’re applying cutting edge computer science to one of humanity’s greatest challenges: Energy. Our utility customers in the U.S. and abroad give us energy usage data for tens of millions of their customers which we then analyze and aggregate using the latest software technology to motivate consumers to use less energy. We use the right tools for each element of our broad solution set so our engineers get exposure to everything from Java to Ruby on Rails to Hadoop to HBase.
Want to be involved in the contemporary pulse of social integration? We’ve partnered with Facebook and are currently inventing the space of leveraging social networks to provide Energy Efficiency insights in smart and fun ways. Work with us to migrate to a more SOA/ Web services based architecture. If you are a top-notch engineer looking for a fast paced, high growth place to work while being surrounded by talented, driven peers then Opower is the place for you.
We are looking for senior software engineers to develop innovative solutions to our thorniest software challenges through application of the latest technologies, deep computer science experience, and sound engineering practices.
