Who we are

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

We combine proprietary software with industry expertise to guide commercial real estate owners and operators through their decarbonization journey, starting with evaluation of their portfolios and culminating in transactions through our clean energy marketplace.

About the Role

Finding clean energy opportunities is only the first step. The challenge is getting projects transacted and built at scale. Today, most transactions in clean energy are slow, opaque, and manual. Buyers struggle to get competitive, apples-to-apples bids. Providers spend enormous time chasing projects that go nowhere. The result is higher costs, wasted time, and fewer megawatts deployed.

At Station A, our marketplace changes this dynamic by creating open, standardized, and transparent workflows for clean energy transactions. Buyers get firm, competitive pricing. Providers gain efficient access to qualified projects. And the market as a whole benefits from lower origination costs and faster deployment.

This role is about leading the technology that powers our transaction platform. You will own the marketplace stack that enables project listing, bidding, evaluation, and award. You will ensure our systems are scalable, trusted, and efficient as we grow to thousands of projects and billions in clean energy transactions.

If you're excited about scaling a marketplace that drives liquidity, efficiency, and trust in one of the most important markets of our time, we'd love to talk.

Requirements

• Own the architecture and scalability of the marketplace platform, including project posting, bidding, evaluation, and award workflows
• Design and build full-stack product features that drive speed, transparency, and repeat use across the platform
• Improve marketplace trust and efficiency by developing systems that handle repeat bidding, bid comparisons, and transparent reporting
• Raise the bar on engineering quality: reliability, observability, testing, and refactor strategies
• Improve trust and usability with features like repeat bidding, bid comparisons, structured Q&A, and audit trails
• Scale the system to handle higher throughput: more users, more bids, more portfolio-level workflows
• Mentor engineers and model great technical judgment through pairing, reviews, and design discussions
• Collaborate cross-functionally to align platform development with business needs and buyer/provider success
• Contribute to the long-term technical roadmap, especially where marketplace, evaluation, and analytics converge

You might be a fit if you have

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally across multiple product surfaces
• Demonstrated ownership of complex systems that involve scalable workflows, structured data, and asynchronous interactions
• Strong experience with modern web stacks (Python, TypeScript, SQL databases)
• Experience with CI/CD, automated testing, and cloud infrastructure (GCP or equivalent)
• Ability to lead projects from concept to delivery, balancing speed with long-term maintainability
• Ability to mentor engineers and grow a culture of quality, ownership, and learning
• Strong communication skills, especially the ability to translate technical tradeoffs into business impacts
