Energy is humanity’s most valuable resource. NOVA is building the software backbone that will power the installation, optimisation, and scaling of the clean-energy transition.

What the job involves:

• Build and ship core product features across the full stack.
• Help design and implement the core systems that power the OS for energy installers - from workflows and scheduling to data, automation, and integrations.
• Own features end-to-end: problem definition, architecture, implementation, deployment, and iteration.
• Work closely with founders and customers to deeply understand user pain and translate it into elegant, scalable solutions.
• Move fast when speed matters, and slow down when foundations matter.
• Shape our technical direction, engineering culture, and early hiring decisions.

Requirements

Must haves:

• You’ve shipped production systems - 2–5 years experience designing, building, and operating full-stack applications in production.

• You think like a product owner - You can put yourself in the shoes of our customers and deliver products that are 10x better.
• You're extremely ambitious - A strong track record of exceptional performance.
• You move fast with AI - You use appropriate tooling, in particular LLM agents in your coding workflow to deliver fast.
• You’re confident using automated testing - To validate the correctness of important aspects of the software you develop.

Nice to haves:

• Experience building CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code tooling like Terraform
• You’ve developed applications on one or more of the major cloud platforms like AWS/GCP/Azure.
• You’ve built for the real-world before - Built software used in physical industries such as energy, construction or manufacturing.
• You’re a proven self-starter - Built and shipped your own side projects, tools, or products outside of formal roles.
