About Zero Homes
At Zero Homes, our mission is to electrify the world’s homes for healthy and sustainable living. With residential buildings responsible for 20% of national climate emissions, there is an extraordinary opportunity to get homes off fossil fuels, help homeowners save money, and impact decarbonization at scale. Zero Homes is pioneering a frictionless, digital sales and install experience to accelerate the transition to an all-electric future with a category defining software product. We enable homeowners everywhere, with a commodity smartphone, to get high quality advice, actionable quotes, and affordable installations without a single home visit.
Our focus is to make electrifying homes accessible, affordable, and delightful. Join our team to help lead the charge and accelerate the energy transition.
About the Role & Your Impact
This is an exciting opportunity to create delightful homeowner experiences for electrification projects. You will join a seed stage team of talented engineers and product designers, led by seasoned climate tech veterans. This is a generalist, individual contributor role that will report to a Lead Engineer. We work in small teams (1 designer and 1-2 programmers) in six-week cycles to take loosely defined projects and deliver new features. You will be given broad latitude to make project-level design decisions and expected to operate effectively with minimal oversight. Some products you will build, like a web portal for homeowners to request quotes, will be used directly by homeowners, many of whom are low-income and underserved. Other products, like a web-based design tool for HVAC systems, will be used by other employees at Zero Homes to guide homeowners along their electrification journey. Either way, you will be able to commit code in the morning, ship in the afternoon, and watch it used in production by the end of the day. The tools you build will be directly responsible for deploying many millions of dollars into safer, healthier, and more cost-effective homes.
What You Bring
You are a generalist with discerning standards for code quality and architecture. Whether designing new features, writing modular code, performance testing applications, or operating production systems, you want to own projects from beginning to end. You have at least 5 years of professional software engineering experience across a range of languages, frameworks, and cloud environments, and you are constantly learning new technologies.
- You are a detail-oriented systems thinker. You want to own the whole product, not just isolated features. You always anchor your work on user needs and seek to understand how users operate in a larger context. You may not have experience in climate tech or building science, but you are eager to dive into the messy world of residential electrification.
- You have an eye for elegance - the confluence of beauty, effectiveness, and simplicity - and you have a proven track record of building elegant digital experiences from the ground up. You value functional beauty in the physical world and are excited to build software that will create healthy, comfortable, and sustainable living spaces for our customers.
- You are a pragmatic team player. You know that products only matter if they ship. You are prepared to collaborate with product designers and make tradeoffs to deliver projects within a fixed time box. You want lots of freedom, but you know that comes with the responsibility to communicate and deliver.
- You are enthusiastic about in-person work. You want to know your users by name and see them smile when they use your designs. You live within 50 miles of Denver, CO, or are willing to relocate.
