Job description

What is Verse?

Organizations today are under growing pressure to navigate the transition to clean energy — not just to meet sustainability goals, but to manage risk, control costs, and build long-term resilience. Yet the complexity of energy markets and a lack of accessible tools have made it difficult for most companies to take meaningful action. Verse was created to change that.

Our mission is to make the case for clean energy irrefutable. Through our AI-powered platform, Aria, we help organizations plan, procure, and operate clean energy to achieve their financial and sustainability goals. Verse transforms clean energy ambition into action — giving businesses the clarity and confidence to lead in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer focusing on Product Experience at Verse, you will sit closest to the customer in developing and enhancing user interfaces and experiences (UI/UX) for our Aria software product. You will be a part of a dynamic, robust team building on our frontend stack composed of Typescript, React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Radix/ShadCN, and more to deliver rich, interactive, and seamless user experiences. We use Jest, Cypress, Playwright, and Vitest for various unit and integration testing workloads, Storybook for component libraries, Apache Echarts and Plotly for data visualization, and Cloudflare Pages for hosting and content delivery. Our customers rely on Clerk for user logins.

Key Responsibilities

• Foster a culture and mindset of well-designed systems, test-driven software, and transparent communication with a high caliber of mutual respect and consideration for stakeholders
• Read and write a lot of Typescript
• Build, test, debug, maintain, and scale our ecosystem of highly responsive user-facing, browser-based applications
• Collaborate closely with product managers, UX designers, and backend developers to create intuitive, user-friendly software solutions.
• Implement delightful and aesthetically pleasing web components and pages
• Manage user authentication and authorization using services like Clerk or Auth0, for secure user login systems.
• Efficiently render and present interactive data visualizations from backend APIs
• Integrate frontend components with backend RPCs
• Optimize application performance and scalability using Cloudflare for efficient content delivery.
• Evaluate, recommend, and implement key frontend software systems
• Participate in design and customer conversations
• Translate product and customer requirements into tools, functions, features, and outputs
• Actively participate in code reviews, maintain technical documentation, and adhere to best software development practices

What We're Looking For (Minimum Qualifications)

• 5+ years of experience delivering production-quality software with increasing levels of ownership and technical leadership.
• Strong understanding of UI/UX principles and a keen eye for design
• Are excellent with Typescript and comfortable integrating browser clients with complex API interactions in our backend
• Ability to translate complex technical requirements into functional software, speak the language of engineers and designers
• Proven track record of delivering responsive and intuitive UIs
• Technical leadership and commitment to delivering high quality software on time or ahead of schedule and adhering to best software development practices
• Discipline using generative AI tools in day-to-day work

What Will Make You Standout (Preferred Qualifications)

• A bachelor’s degree or higher, not necessarily in a STEM field
• Enthusiasm for Typescript, React, and Next.js
• Experience authoring and maintaining UI kits, design systems, component libraries
• Not afraid to get hands on with the full stack
• Experience working with Go and/or Python is a big plus (we use this a lot in our backend)
• Experience with the gRPC + Protocol Buffer ecosystem
• Understanding of content delivery networks (CDN) and edge server solutions

What Makes Verse a Great Place to Work?

• Lead with Empathy: We lift each other up with humility and kindness, always putting colleagues and customers first
• Be Honest & Transparent: We prioritize effective communication to build trust with our team, customers, and stakeholders
• Move with Balance & Precision: We believe speed and perseverance must be accompanied by thoughtfulness and reflection
• Leave the World a Better Place: We are passionate about our mission, and we strive to create a sustainable world for future generations
