Senior Software Engineer (m/w/d)

Solar Landscape is the leading commercial rooftop solar developer in the U.S. Only 4% of commercial rooftops host solar today - we're changing that, fast. Commercial rooftop solar is the fastest, smartest way to build new clean power - delivering megawatts of generation in months, not years, and powering America's energy and future right where it's needed most. By turning rooftops into local power plants, we're reshaping how - and how fast - energy gets built in the U.S.

Recognized as the #1 Distributed Generation Developer by New Project Media, the #1 National Commercial Rooftop Solar Developer by Solar Power World, and winner of the U.S. Department of Energy's Grand Prize for Clean Energy, Solar Landscape is defining the future of energy generation in America.

Headquartered in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Solar Landscape has offices in Chicago, Baltimore, and New York City and operates in over a dozen states nationwide.

We move fast, solve hard problems, and take our work seriously - but never ourselves. We value clear thinking, accountability, and execution. At the same time, we're collaborative by default, and believe the best work happens when people enjoy working together. Our team is made up of smart, grounded people who show up for each other - whether that's troubleshooting a system design or catching up over lunch.

If you're looking to do meaningful work in a high-performance environment - and be part of the team reshaping how energy gets built in the U.S. - we'd love to meet you.

About The Role

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build and scale internal software platforms and external web applications that are redefining how clean energy is developed, delivered, and experienced.

In this role, you'll lead development on a suite of proprietary tools used by both internal teams and external stakeholders. You'll leverage modern AI-powered development tools to accelerate delivery and improve code quality, while also designing and building AI-enabled features and products that bring automation, intelligence, and data-driven decision-making into our workflows. These applications are central to our mission to accelerate clean energy adoption and expand access to sustainable infrastructure.

You'll work alongside and lead a collaborative team of engineers across the US and offshore, providing technical direction, mentorship, and architectural guidance. You'll partner with cross-functional teams to translate complex business and industry needs into intuitive, scalable software solutions. We're looking for someone who can go deep technically, think strategically about system design and performance, and is motivated by the opportunity to shape the future of clean tech through software.

• Manage deployment pipelines, performance optimization, and cost-efficient scaling of applications in Microsoft Azure.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and help define development standards, AI usage guidelines, and engineering best practices across the team.
• Use Azure DevOps and GitHub for version control and Jira for task management to support efficient, transparent, and collaborative development cycles.
• Ensure software meets security, performance, and accessibility standards.
• Stay current with emerging technologies, particularly in AI and automation, and proactively introduce tools and frameworks that improve product quality and team effectiveness.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with a strong focus on full-stack web application development and leading projects from concept through production.
• Proficiency in: Back End: TypeScript, Node.js, Python; Front End: Next.js, Tailwind CSS.
• Experience building and shipping AI-enabled features or products and leveraging AI-assisted development tools to improve velocity and code quality.
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives, drive architectural decisions, and deliver complex systems with minimal oversight.
• Experience working directly with non-technical stakeholders to translate business requirements into clear technical plans and measurable outcomes.
• Experience working from design files (e.g. Figma) and partnering closely with design teams to deliver polished user experiences.
• Proven experience deploying, scaling, and optimizing applications in Microsoft Azure or other cloud providers.
• Strong understanding of Git workflows (GitHub, Azure DevOps) and agile development practices (Jira).
• Experience collaborating with distributed teams, including offshore developers.
• Ability to balance long-term technical vision with short-term delivery needs.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with a focus on delivering clean, maintainable, and performant code.
