Base pay range

$165,000.00 / yr - $210,000.00 / yr

We're looking for a technical leader with a bias for quality, systems thinking, and impact to spearhead the engineering behind Station A's geospatial evaluation platform , the engine that identifies the most financially viable clean energy opportunities in the market.

About The Role

In the next 30 years, every part of our built environment will need to transform to support a more resilient, independent, and decarbonized grid. Rising demand from data centers, electrification of everything, and an aging power grid are creating unprecedented pressure and unprecedented opportunity for clean energy deployment.

The problem? Origination. Most clean energy projects fail long before they are built because developers spend enormous time and money qualifying sites, collecting data, assessing interconnection, and navigating zoning, only to discover too late that projects will not pencil. In fact, as much as 80% of projects stall or die , representing billions in wasted costs and years of lost time.

At Station A, we are solving this bottleneck. Our evaluation platform combines geospatial data, analytics, and automation to rapidly identify the most financially and technically viable clean energy opportunities before a project starts.

Who We Are

Station A is a technology company reimagining how clean energy is bought and sold. Our remote-first team is made up of climate-minded technologists, strategists, and operators committed to making climate action a no-brainer for everyone.

What You'll Do

  • As Technical Lead, Evaluation Technology, you'll take ownership of the core geospatial and data-driven systems that power Station A's marketplace.
  • Own the architecture and scalability of our evaluation platform : designing, refining, and growing the engine that identifies viable clean energy opportunities across hundreds of thousands of buildings
  • Raise the technical bar by instilling best practices across SDLC : test coverage, CI / CD, system observability, and multi-phase refactors
  • Mentor and force-multiply : coach engineers through pairing, design reviews, and example-setting, helping the team level up technically and culturally
  • Think in systems : evolve not just code but the processes and collaboration patterns that help the engineering team grow sustainably
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, Data, and Marketplace teams to ensure our evaluation stack is fast, scalable, and tightly aligned with business goals
  • Partner with leadership as a thought partner on technology decisions, helping guide Station A's long-term platform strategy

Requirements

  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant full-stack and data engineering exposure
  • Proven track record leading complex, system-level projects from design through delivery
  • Strong experience with Python (preferred), TypeScript, and SQL databases (PostgreSQL), including query optimization
  • Comfort with geospatial technologies (e.g. Mapbox / MapLibre, Shapely, PostGIS) and building data pipelines for large-scale spatial analysis
  • Experience with CI / CD, automated testing, and cloud infrastructure (GCP or equivalent)
  • The ability to mentor engineers and foster a high-performing, learning-oriented culture
  • Excellent communication skills—you can align technical tradeoffs with business value and make complex systems understandable to both engineers and non-engineers
  • Bonus points for...

  • Deep Python knowledge (e.g. Pydantic, Poetry) and passion for maintainable, well-structured code
  • Experience with data engineering tools (Airflow, dbt, Kafka, Spark) to support scalable evaluations
  • Exposure to AI / ML applications, especially for geospatial or optimization problems
  • Domain experience in clean energy, sustainability, or climate tech
  • Why this role matters

  • Technical leadership capacity : We're understaffed in strong technical leadership. You'll shape both the system and the team that builds it
  • Systems thinking : You'll help us manage technical debt intentionally, and redesign core pieces of our platform as we scale
  • Mentorship : Your example will level up the engineering org, embedding best practices across the team
  • Capacity growth : Every line of code you and your team ship enables Station A to scale our business model from service-heavy to product-driven
  • Location & Travel

  • Preferred : San Francisco, Los Angeles, or California-based to align with core engineering hours and enable periodic in-person collaboration
  • Anticipated travel : 1x / year for all-company retreat; quarterly engineering meetups (2-3 days each)
  • Benefits

  • Remote-friendly work environment (U.S.-based) with coworking options
  • Flexible PTO
  • Monthly remote work stipend ($50 / mo or $600 / yr)
  • Learning & development budget to support your professional growth
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance (including FSA and HSA options)
  • 401(k) plan, with matching on the roadmap
  • 12-15 paid holidays annually
  • Why You Might Be Excited About This Role

  • You see geospatial evaluation at scale as both a technical and climate challenge worth solving
  • You care about grid resiliency and energy independence and see geospatial analysis as a powerful lever for accelerating deployment
  • You believe evaluation should be accurate, scalable, and transparent, and you are excited to design systems that make project qualification faster and more reliable
  • You see the potential for technology to eliminate waste in the origination process, where today most projects stall or fail before they are even built
  • You're motivated by the idea that every improvement to our evaluation engine unlocks billions in viable projects and accelerates carbon reduction at scale
  • You enjoy mentoring engineers and leaving systems better than you found them
  • You want your engineering leadership to make a tangible difference at the intersection of energy, infrastructure, and technology
  • Our Commitment

    We believe diverse perspectives fuel better ideas and stronger outcomes. If you are excited about this role—even if you don't meet 100% of the qualifications—we encourage you to apply.

    Station A is an equal opportunity employer committed to building an inclusive, respectful workplace. Hiring decisions are based solely on qualifications, merit, and business needs.
