About Sun Tribe Trading

Sun Tribe Trading is the fastest-growing SREC aggregator, serving the mid-Atlantic.
Solar Renewable Energy Certificates, or SRECs, have proven to be a vital policy tool and financial incentive to make the clean energy transition happen. SRECs simultaneously align individuals, utilities, and government toward reaching our climate goals while also making solar financially feasible for many more homeowners, business, and asset owners.
We’re building a customer-centric organization that makes SRECs easy for our partners and solar owners. Through our technology and market-friendly approach, we aim to help accelerate the clean energy transition.

About the role

This role presents a unique opportunity for an engineer who wants to solve problems in climate change that are affecting people right now. Our SREC aggregation software plays a vital role in the economics of the clean energy transition.
We need a front-end engineer to lead the development of our customer-facing product. The role requires a passion for great UX, a discerning design aesthetic, and the skills to leverage the latest technology to deliver a world-class user experience—rapidly.
To build out our front-end, you’ll be in a hybrid architecture comprising a modern API-based services backend and multiple low-code front-end platforms: primarily Bubble, but also Retool and others. You’ll write JavaScript to augment functionality not achievable with low-code tools. You’ll have a significant stake in our product itself, having a voice in the design and feature roadmap. You’ll be constantly improving our product and adding functionality weekly, often daily. You’ll be expected to occasionally work directly with users and partners to make our product better. You won’t be starting from scratch, but as the owner of the front-end, you’ll have the ability to architect and build as needs evolve. You’ll work closely all members of the team in a highly collaborative setting. This is a critical role in our growing business—it’s fun, fast, challenging, and the rewards roll in daily!
