Clojure Software Engineer

About Tyba

Tyba is a modeling platform for energy companies developing, financing, and operating renewable energy infrastructure. Energy companies rely on technical models daily to make crucial infrastructure decisions.

Our mission is to make cutting-edge models accessible to cross-functional teams so that companies can build and operate more renewable energy more profitably. We are backed by leading climate and generalist VCs and work with many of the industry's most innovative energy companies.

The Role

We are looking for a Clojure Software Engineer to join our Engineering team and lead key initiatives that deliver high-value, customer-facing products.

You will excel in this role if you thrive in fast-paced environments, have a strong sense of ownership, and are comfortable bringing clarity to ambiguous problems. You will drive major portions of the engineering roadmap-from concept to launch-working closely with product, policy, and commercial stakeholders.

This is a full-stack role involving both backend and frontend development, with an emphasis on building scalable systems and delivering high-quality, maintainable code.

Our Product

Tyba has two main products for customers - Asset Operations and Project Simulation

Asset Operations: An Auto-bidding platform, powered by a proprietary neural network, that recommends and executes operating strategies based on industry-leading price forecasts and optimization methodology.

Project Simulation: A configurable simulation platform enabling developers to model realistic financial and physical outcomes based on location, market dynamics, and battery specifications.

You'll focus most of your time on Project Simulation while staying closely connected to Asset Operations. Within Project Simulation, you'll lead key efforts to support additional generation and load sources (e.g., wind, data centers) and expand the platform into new markets.

Responsibilities

• Lead engineering initiatives end-to-end. This includes scoping, development (frontend and backend), testing, releasing, and monitoring.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, Policy, and Marketing teams to ensure alignment and push the product forward.
• Demonstrate a high bar for code quality. Our customers deserve the best.

Tyba's Technical Stack

Our asset models and ML models are written in Python. We also expose a public REST API.

Our web app is built in Clojure and ClojureScript. It uses the Fulcro library for managing client-server interactions. Tailwind CSS is used for styling, and Datomic and PostgreSQL for its data storage. The app is built using Docker and deployed via Kubernetes on AWS. The web app communicates with other internal codebases via GraphQL.
