About Us

At Conduit Tech, we’re focused on the 10% of all energy use that derives from residential HVAC use. We build tools that enable the clean energy workforce to be more productive and effective - starting with software tools for HVAC pros. By supporting HVAC Pros in designing, selling, and installing high-efficiency HVAC systems, Conduit helps mitigate grid strain, reduce home energy use and enhance occupant comfort. We’re working with over 300 HVAC companies across 35+ US states, generating direct product feedback and revenue.

Senior Software Engineer - Job Description

Conduit Tech is seeking a Senior Engineer to play a critical role in building features for our core product, with a focus on the backend. The ideal candidate will have experience with Python, extensive database knowledge, and a track record of delivering features from planning to production.

What You'll Do
  • Own entire features from planning through deployment

  • Update data models as we learn more about our users and their needs

  • Build reliable integrations with external service APIs

  • Fix those weird bugs that only show up in production

  • Keep our application secure and performant

  • Write documentation your teammates will actually thank you for

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

  • Serious Python skills for APIs, reporting, and data processing (we use Django and Celery)

  • Experience with relational databases and ORMs (we're on PostgreSQL with Django's ORM)

  • A track record of shipping complex features end-to-end

  • The ability to balance speed with quality (we move fast, but we don't break things)

  • A collaborative approach - we pair program, jump into huddles, and actually help each other

  • US residence and work authorization

Nice-to-haves:

  • Experience with Django and PostgreSQL (our current backend stack)

  • TypeScript/JavaScript and Web development knowledge (for when backend isn't challenging enough)

  • AWS, Terraform, and Docker experience (we're cloud-native)

  • A history of improving development processes and tools

How We Work
  • We ship incrementally and often - even the biggest projects get delivered in phases

  • We test thoroughly (and automate those tests)

  • We collaborate closely - expect to be on calls with product, design, and other engineers

  • We value thoughtful communication - written and verbal

  • We trust you to manage your time and priorities (no micromanagement here)

Our Interview Process

We respect your time and want to be transparent about our process:

  1. Initial Conversation (45 min): Chat with our engineering manager about your background, professional experience, and what you're looking for.

  2. Practical Evaluation: A take-home challenge (reasonable scope, we promise).

  3. Team Interviews (3 hours): Meet with team members to dive deeper into technical skills, system design, and team fit.

  4. Final Discussion (45 min): Connect with company leadership to address any remaining questions.

We aim to move quickly and provide feedback at each stage. The entire process typically takes 2-3 weeks.

What We Offer
  • Competitive equity package and salary, $150,000 - $190,000 (depending on experience)

  • Join an ambitious, diverse team and enjoy the flexibility of 100% remote work.

  • Dedicated no-meeting days and ample focus time for going deep.

  • Stipend for home office equipment. Semi-annual team meetups.

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage.

  • Generous PTO and parental leave.
