Come join a career you can grow in and a culture you can run with.

We're on a mission to make energy more reliable and affordable for more people. We provide an opportunity with storage and solar to help people access greater energy independence without the big upfront costs. Sunrun is the largest dedicated residential solar and storage company in the country and has a mission to bring stably priced resilient power to the masses.

POSITION SUMMARY

Sunrun is the undisputed leader in residential clean energy, pioneering the multi-billion-dollar solar-as-a-subscription asset class. We don't just install solar hardware; we originate, scale, and manage a decentralized energy infrastructure network. By transforming residential roofs into networked virtual power plants and intelligent grid assets, Sunrun is fundamentally rewriting the mechanics of whole-home electrification and energy distribution. Our organization thrives on high-velocity commercial performance, disciplined operational scaling, and an unwavering commitment to maintaining the absolute best talent engine in the climate-tech sector.
