Overview

Who we are

Creating a planet fueled by reliable, clean energy isn’t what keeps us up at night; it’s what gets us out of bed. At Opus One Solutions, we pursue solutions that will change how countries access and distribute electrical energy. From microgrids that keep things running in the event of an outage to how Tesla’s latest batteries can help accelerate the integration of renewable energy. From how electric utilities can optimize their operations and reduce their carbon footprint to how every homeowner will feed energy into a power grid fueling the electrical sharing economy.

At Opus One Solutions, we believe some of the best talent in the tech industry share our passion for delivering technology that matters and that will make a difference, in our lifetime and beyond. We want to work with people who love the complexities of software; who believe in its power to transform the world to a better place.

Good people know that great ideas are everywhere and what matters most is practical execution. Turning vision into reality is the hard part. But, when it’s creating technical solutions that support access to renewable energy, it’s an engineering feat worth contributing to.

Our tech stack

Our tech stack is deep because we interact with real things in the real world where the outcome matters. Our systems collect, analyze and interact with other systems in real-time. Internally, the tools we use include Python3, C++11, Javascript/React/Leaflet, PostgreSQL, Redmine, GitLab, Jenkins, and Docker, all hosted on AWS.

The opportunity

Opus One Solutions is looking for a Python Developer who wants to be a key player on our GridOS team. The GridOS team at Opus One builds our flagship product, GridOS. It’s a cross-functional team with expertise in frontend, backend and power system analysis. Our new Python Developer will be an active contributor to our product’s cutting edge Python backend.

Who are you?

You are a strong Python developer and you enjoy working autonomously to solve complex problems. You have developed database-backed web services. You’re familiar with software security and deployment workflows. You have experience with software that gets deployed on the cloud and maybe even on-premises within a customer’s datacenter.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to think creatively and be innovative. Someone ready to step out of their comfort zone. Someone eager to build a robust, resilient and high-availability product. This is a chance to be on the forefront of new technology.

What’s in it for you?

Challenges. The electrical power grid is a lifeline to millions of people. Quite literally, this is a system that cannot go down when it comes to hospitals, traffic controls and more. Your challenge is to build a product that reaches that level of quality and reliability.

Personal and professional satisfaction. You want to do meaningful work. You don’t just want to build and analyze things. You want to directly contribute to technology solutions that matter.

Knowledge. This is a great team, passionate about technology. You will have an opportunity to broaden your technical knowledge using new back and front end technologies: JavaScript, C++, React and Docker to name a few.

What will our new Python Developer work on? You will:

Design and implement high quality, robust, and reusable software using multiple languages and technologies conforming to industry best practices.
Evaluate emerging technologies and open source libraries to provide recommendations.
Support testing processes, troubleshoot and resolve issues.
Participate in architectural design sessions and product discussions.
Work closely with other developers with a diverse skill set and technology expertise to provide scalable solutions.
Work in an Agile/SCRUM team setting including cross-functional structures and varying levels of management.
Here’s what you bring:

The education. You have a degree in Computer Science or equivalent.
The experience. You have 2+ years developing Python webapps. You’re familiar with version control systems and Python testing frameworks.
The technical expertise. You have expertise in Python. Your programming skills are strong and you can quickly learn new technologies.
The passion. You are equally passionate about clean tech as you are about quality coding.
The vision. You can focus on the big picture and the details. Robust, reliable and scalable is your motto.
The communication. You have exceptional written and oral communication skills. You are a strong presenter.
The energy. You thrive in a high volume, fast paced environment.
The innovation. You have the ability to anticipate problems and provide creative, quick – and reliable – solutions.
