UtilityAPI’s software engineers power the SaaS platform that allows us to bridge the data gap between renewable energy companies and their customers. Utility data is a necessary part of the energy transition and a critical need for multiple sectors of the economy. The software we write addresses a unique need in a complex problem space, and we are looking for an empathetic, creative, and ambitious mission-driven leader to guide our teams in building the next generation of our platform.
In this role, you will manage the engineering team responsible for scoping, building, and maintaining our utility integrations product (UDX). This team works closely with utility customers to build a product their customers can use to authorize and share data with renewable energy companies. We are expecting significant growth in this segment as customers and companies expect a modern, seamless integration experience. It will be essential to guide the engineering team through the challenge of integrating more utility partners while improving our product, its stability, and maintainability.
What You’ll Do:
- Act as the people leader of the UDX team, managing 4-7 software engineers
- Set, track, and give feedback on individual and team goals through the use of internal frameworks and through regular 1-1 meetings with direct reports
- Collaborate with product management, product management, and engineering management to ensure the team is enabled to achieve the company goals
- Foster a spirit of collaboration and continuous improvement
Your Experience:
- 5+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 1 year acting as management or leadership
- Strong collaborative skills and experience working closely with and forming strong partnerships with product management and customer-facing teams
- Experience building processes that allow teams to work efficiently and optimally
- Experience setting goals for direct reports and motivating engineers to hit those goals
- Experience guiding teams through modernization of code
- Nice to have: some experience working on software projects governed by contracts
About Us:
Founded in 2014, UtilityAPI is a U.S. Department of Energy grant-supported software company on a mission to unleash the clean energy revolution by unlocking data.
UtilityAPI’s products and solutions provide contractors and clean energy companies with digital access to customer utility data, and utilities and incentive programs with data access platforms where contractors and clean energy vendors can digitally access customer utility data.
With UtilityAPI and access to data contractors, clean energy companies across the country are lowering customer acquisition costs, improving customer experiences, and accelerating the adoption of clean energy.

We value the insights that a diverse team can bring. We encourage applications from members of groups that have been traditionally underrepresented and underestimated in tech, including people with disabilities, non-traditional education backgrounds, and intersectional identities.
We encourage applications from any interested candidate, even if you do not meet all the listed requirements. UtilityAPI is committed to an inclusive workplace that values non-traditional work histories.

What We Do
Everyone in the energy ecosystem needs easy access to secure data from a system that works. UtilityAPI is that system.
Hundreds of energy vendors use us every day to request and download utility customer bill and interval data. Our customers use the data to do feasibility analyses, quote generation, asset management, and measurement and verification.
Utilities use us to offer a certified Green Button Connect service to their customers or to gain insight into third party data access. We're able to offer critical vision and engagement beyond the grid edge.
Our Culture
We're fortunate at UtilityAPI to get to be mission-driven. We know that access to data from utilities is a pain point for our customers, and we're helping them with it. We want our customers to get the data they need for their renewable energy, energy efficiency and their energy management projects. That sense of purpose informs everything we do, and it's the basis for the culture here.
Our Team
We value the insights that a diverse team can bring. The leadership here barely has any demographic in common, and we are making a conscious effort to build an inclusive environment.
UtilityAPI is jointly run by Daniel Roesler, Founder and CTO, Lynne Wander, COO, and Devin Hampton, CEO
