Our developers and energy scientists built a great technology platform – a sophisticated web-based application to help consumers save money on their electricity bills – but need your help to take it the next level.

You’ll have a huge impact on our current and future software projects. Starting on day one, you’ll be responsible for redesigning our flagship product. We think there’s lots of opportunity to make it simpler, easier to use, and more engaging. It could also use a beautiful new graphic design.

Additionally you will need:

*A portfolio of great work that you’re proud of.

You’ll be able to work well alongside members of the engineering and science teams and business stakeholders. *Ability to work self-directed and independently when necessary to deliver high quality work in a timely fashion

How We’re Different

For one, we’re different because we believe our work will have a significant positive impact on the environment. You’ll be working with a team of smart and talented software engineers and energy scientists who care deeply about crafting the absolute best experience for our users. Support for your work is deep and widespread, shared through the management team up through and including our CEO.

We believe treating our employees right is important to doing great work. Here are the benefits we’re offering right now:

*Competitive salary *Equity Options — Everyone who works here owns a bit of the company’s success *MacBook Pro — Each new employee gets the latest Apple gear *Conferences — Continue your learning and we’ll pick up the tab *Free home-cooked lunch at the office each Friday — Enjoy it on our roof with great views of lower Manhattan *Free soft drinks and snacks at the office *Health insurance benefits *Three weeks paid vacation *Ten paid holidays each year *Generous maternity, parental and wedding leave
