About BlueUrbn
We&rsquo;re a team of five grad students at Stanford with a deep passion for climate and energy.&nbsp; Two of us came together as part of a class taught by Dave Danielson, Breakthrough Energy&rsquo;s Managing Director, and we haven&rsquo;t looked back since. For the coming year, we&rsquo;re super committed to hyper-scaling our mission and building the world&rsquo;s largest platform for energy efficiency and clean energy technologies. 🚀 We&rsquo;re hiring for key roles across the core team for BlueUrbn, and together, we&rsquo;re going to make magic!
The world is building the equivalent of a NYC every month for the next 35 years, and buildings are a massive untapped resource from an energy, economic, and climate lens. Nearly vacant buildings saved only 10% energy and costs during COVID! On top of this, 31 cities in the US now have energy and carbon reporting obligations, with 15 requiring mandatory disclosures for energy consumption and efficiency. This problem isn&rsquo;t limited to just the US - buildings were a central part of COP28, the United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Dubai last November and all stakeholders including central governments, NGOs, utilities were extremely aligned on the need for speed and scale.
But identifying what to do to save energy, cut costs and lower carbon emissions costs building owners thousands of dollars and takes hundreds of hours of manual effort. The industry is not prepared for the mounting wave of energy efficiency, sustainability, and high-performing buildings, and we&rsquo;re here to change that.

About WattCarbon
WattCarbon has launched the first clean energy market aimed at rapidly scaling distributed energy technology, including rooftop solar &amp; storage, electrification, and demand response. Our buildings are responsible for 40% of US and global emissions. By scaling distributed clean energy, we can eliminate these emissions today. We partner with climate-driven companies &amp; organizations, directing funding towards these technologies to lower costs, accelerate deployment, and promote energy equity across the US.
The Company You Will Join
We are a seed stage startup backed by some of the most respected climate investors on the planet (True Ventures, Jetstream, Village Global, Looking Glass, Keiki Capital, Greensoil PropTech Ventures, and others); you would be the sixth engineer and an early team member. We are open to any applicant who lives in the US - you should be comfortable working in a fully distributed, remote-first company. Our team lives in several different cities (and one RV). We prioritize personal growth and professional satisfaction and encourage applications from individuals who want to have an outsized impact on a consequential problem.
Company Culture
We start with a belief in each other and in the reason for our work.&nbsp;
We generally subscribe to the idea that Marx was correct about the alienation of labor and we organize ourselves purposefully to provide flexibility around family commitments, ensure opportunities for substantive input into business decisions, and prioritize personal growth. Our company&rsquo;s commitment to diversity and inclusion is represented by its remote-first principles, through intentionality in recruitment, hiring, and retention efforts, through company benefits and pay practices, and through an expectation that we will treat every individual with dignity, respect, and compassion.
We work in a distributed and fully-remote environment. In our day-to-day work, we operate with a high degree of trust for each other and over-communicate when the path forward seems unclear. We hold a regular weekly engineering planning meeting, a company-wide meeting on Fridays, and less frequent cross-team 1:1s but we also recognize that focus time is important and remove unnecessary meetings. We also meet up in person on a quarterly basis at rotating locations around the US.
We take our time when we do work, as we want to provide ourselves with learning opportunities and room to improve processes as we develop new areas of the company. We are committed to treating mistakes as learning events and assuming best intentions rather than assigning blame. We learn as we go and we are okay with deleting as much code as we&rsquo;re writing. We share our successes, stresses, and mistakes as a team and celebrate individual contributions.&nbsp;
Compensation
The base pay range for this position is $130,000-$145,000 plus company equity. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including work experience and may vary from these numbers.
Next Steps
To apply, please submit a resume (or a link to your linkedin) and cover letter to recruiting@wattcarbon.com. We&rsquo;re a small company, so we really value what you have to say. Tell us about yourself and how you see your career progressing, and answer at least one of the following questions: What kinds of problems interest you? What makes you a good fit for an early-stage company? How do you go about growing your tech skills?

Senior Frontend Engineer - Energy Decarbonization

About BlueUrbn
We&rsquo;re a team of five grad students at Stanford with a deep passion for climate and energy.&nbsp; Two of us came together as part of a class taught by Dave Danielson, Breakthrough Energy&rsquo;s Managing Director, and we haven&rsquo;t looked back since. For the coming year, we&rsquo;re super committed to hyper-scaling our mission and building the world&rsquo;s largest platform for energy efficiency and clean energy technologies. 🚀 We&rsquo;re hiring for key roles across the core team for BlueUrbn, and together, we&rsquo;re going to make magic!
The world is building the equivalent of a NYC every month for the next 35 years, and buildings are a massive untapped resource from an energy, economic, and climate lens. Nearly vacant buildings saved only 10% energy and costs during COVID! On top of this, 31 cities in the US now have energy and carbon reporting obligations, with 15 requiring mandatory disclosures for energy consumption and efficiency. This problem isn&rsquo;t limited to just the US - buildings were a central part of COP28, the United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Dubai last November and all stakeholders including central governments, NGOs, utilities were extremely aligned on the need for speed and scale.
But identifying what to do to save energy, cut costs and lower carbon emissions costs building owners thousands of dollars and takes hundreds of hours of manual effort. The industry is not prepared for the mounting wave of energy efficiency, sustainability, and high-performing buildings, and we&rsquo;re here to change that.
Who you are
You&rsquo;re a machine learning / computer vision engineer obsessed with building products that can have a meaningful impact on the world. At BlueUrbn, we&rsquo;re building a product that goes from 0 to 1 and automates painstaking manual energy audits without stepping foot into a building.
