This is a hands-on engineering and technical leadership role for a builder who enjoys solving difficult problems, modernizing architecture, launching new capabilities, and translating energy-market opportunities into reliable, scalable products. You will influence technology strategy and engineering standards, mentor developers, and work across disciplines to deliver solutions that optimize energy assets, enable market participation, improve grid reliability, and support the energy transition. As Rodan scales, the role offers a path to broader technical leadership and potential people-management responsibilities. 

Your Impact:

• The software you build will help customers respond to changing grid conditions, optimize distributed energy resources, participate effectively in electricity markets, and operate critical energy assets with greater reliability and insight. Your technical decisions will directly influence Rodan’s products, delivery capabilities, customer outcomes, and ability to support grid modernization initiatives across North America. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Design, develop, review, test, deploy, and support backend services, APIs, integrations, and data-processing workflows. 

• Own the technical health, reliability, scalability, maintainability, and code quality of EOS platforms, and lead root-cause analysis for complex production issues.

• Mentor and develop software engineers, raise engineering standards through design and code reviews, support hiring and onboarding, and help shape team structure and capability as the organization grows. The successful candidate will have opportunities to expand into broader technical leadership and potential people-management responsibilities. 

• Develop a strong understanding of Rodan’s operational applications and workflows to identify modernization opportunities, improve integration and resilience, and provide informed technical leadership when critical cross-platform issues arise. 

• Evaluate architectural options and provide recommendations balancing cost, risk, maintainability, scalability, delivery timing, and operational supportability. 

• Lead the practical adoption of AI-enabled software engineering across design, development, testing, documentation, operations, and knowledge work. Evaluate and introduce AI-assisted development tools, intelligent automation, and agentic workflows that improve quality and productivity while maintaining appropriate review, security, governance, and accountability. Identify opportunities to embed AI capabilities into internal platforms and customer-facing energy solutions.
