Overview
Our Mission
Buildings account for over a third of greenhouse gas emissions in the US and globally. The most viable pathway for decarbonizing the built environment is to replace fossil fuel appliances with efficient, electric alternatives (e.g. replacing a gas furnace with a heat pump), and then powering those electric appliances with carbon-free electricity. Billions in incentives are available each year to make upgrades more affordable, yet finding and claiming funds is time-consuming, costly, and risky for potential participants. Furthermore, these programs are expensive to administer for incentive providers. Rock Rabbit delivers an AI-powered API and app to make it fast, easy and reliable for participants to find and claim rebates, tax credits and financing for electrification projects. Rock Rabbit also partners directly with incentive providers to make these programs more equitable and cost-effective to administer. Rock Rabbit integrates the highly fragmented landscape of actors, processes & data to drastically reduce friction across the value chain – ultimately accelerating the rate of building decarbonization.
About The Business
We are building a data and workflow SaaS platform to accelerate building decarbonization. Our platform allows for streamlined discovery, application, and ultimately end-to-end management of incentives and financing. With a small team and in only one year, we have built out our core product suite, closed dozens of contracts, been accepted into multiple accelerators, won multiple awards, processed millions of dollars in incentive funds, and attracted top tier venture capital investors. We are now rapidly expanding across the nation.
The Role
- You’ll build software that makes a direct impact on building decarbonization. Success at Rock Rabbit lowers the cost curve for home electrification.
- You’ll be working closely with domain experts who have decades of experience in building decarbonization and incentive administration, in order to build generalizable incentive management systems.
- Our engineering team is small, but mighty. We have former engineers from AirBnB and Nextdoor, and alumni from CalTech, Cornell, Stanford, Berkeley, and Brown.
- You will work with a high-performing, diverse and mission aligned team. Everyone here wants to help solve climate change.
- This is a fully remote position – you can live anywhere in the continental United States.
- You’ll be given a lot of autonomy, and the ability to influence the engineering roadmap.
- You’ll help us achieve scale.
About You
- Senior engineering mindset – pragmatic and comfortable with ambiguity (5+ YOE)
- Experience with database schemas, service-oriented architectures, data modeling, external integrations, as well as fundamental design principles behind scalable applications
- Experience working closely with domain experts, and modeling complex domains
- Comfortable in Python
- Experience managing projects and coordinating across multiple engineers
- Adaptability and flexibility to work in an early-stage startup environment
