Who We Are

Arcadia is the global utility data and energy solutions platform. With our leading data platform, AI-powered analytics, industry expertise, and expansive partner network, we deliver solutions for every stage of the enterprise energy management lifecycle across carbon, cost, and reliability. Arcadia’s Enterprise Energy Management Solutions are built on a foundational data platform that has been developed for over a decade and scaled across millions of customer facilities. We transform fragmented data and siloed processes into coordinated, enterprise-wide action with comprehensive solutions including:

• Utility Bill Management: Lower utility costs and streamline bill management with automated bill payment, proactive error identification, optimized tariff structures, and budgeting & forecasting.
• Energy Procurement Advisory: Source clean energy through a comprehensive evaluation of supply options - including traditional retail options and onsite and offsite resources — to effectively manage risks, reduce costs, and achieve corporate sustainability goals.
• Sustainability Reporting: Achieve compliance goals and track carbon emissions with standardized energy data and seamless integration with leading sustainability platforms.

Tackling an enterprise client’s most critical energy challenges requires out-of-the-box thinking & diverse perspectives.

We’re looking for an inquisitive, analytical problem-solver who possesses both grit and flexibility -- our work often involves implementing unconventional solutions and requires someone who’s not afraid to explore new domains when previous methods fail, sort through minute details, or find non-engineering ways around a problem. This person must be comfortable with iterating towards a solution and collaborating closely with colleagues in Product, SRE, Data Engineering, and Analytics along the way.

Our Utility Data process uses an event-driven architecture that makes heavy use of Python-based services running in EKS, RabbitMQ, Celery, Dynamo, AWS Lambda functions, SQS etc.

• Design and develop robust, scalable back-end systems
• Build and maintain complex data pipelines to parse and standardize large amounts of data that enable our unique energy products
• Frequently deploy new functionality to production with a streamlined CI/CD pipeline
• Explore new technologies with an open-minded team
• Increase test coverage and reliability and help troubleshoot production issues
• Collaborate frequently with other engineers, give thoughtful code review, and mentor junior engineers
• Notice and speak up about opportunities to improve both the member and developer experience

What will help you succeed:

• 3+ years of experience in a software engineering role
• Experience with the programming languages we use:
• Python
• SQL
• Experience with infrastructure found in our stack:
• Postgres or similar relational database
• Docker
• Cloudformation
• Comfortable managing the balance between shipping code quickly and shipping perfect code
• Ability and internal drive to problem-solve, both creatively and pragmatically
• Skill with mentoring and learning from other engineers, and treating colleagues with respect
• Ability to scope, prioritize, and deliver on project commitments
• Ability to learn new technologies quickly
• A basic understanding of web development, including HTML, CSS, and HTTP
• Passion for our mission, sustainability, and drive a clean-energy future

Here at Arcadia, we cultivate diversity, celebrate individuality, and believe unique perspectives are key to our collective success in creating a clean energy future.
