Who we are

Aquicore was founded in 2013 in the early hours of the morning on the belief that smarter and more connected buildings will have a global impact in curbing our climate challenges and make buildings technologically ready for the next century.

We create global impact by bettering the built environment every day.

Our next generation of software facilitates smarter building operations used by the largest real estate owners and operators around the world. We are changing the industry from the ground up and we’re looking for the right people to achieve our mission!

We’re amped by the work we do and driven to constantly propel our values and culture. While awards aren’t the goal, we are humbled to be recognized as one of the coolest places to work by organizations such as DC Inno. Our people come first and it’s the combination of our culture and our mission that has been our greatest differentiator. We take our core values as a company seriously and aspire to level-up our Aquicorians in their careers and professional growth.

Our Challenge

We are looking for an Engineering Manager that will define the next generation of the Aquicore platform. We will challenge you to:

See the forest in addition to the trees and approach development in a way that emphasizes real value for the organization and all its stakeholders

Focus on solutions and solve problems rather than just leading a team to deliver code

Develop across the multiple parts of our technical stack - from the embedded software to back-end object modeling and data relationships

Bring to life the platform that allows our customers to collect millions of points of data from live sensors in commercial buildings and utilize the information in helpful ways

The Impact you’ll have
