• Solution Design: Collaborate with management and internal teams to understand business requirements and translate them into practical, scalable technical solutions across core systems.
• Technical Guidance: Provide technical guidance throughout the project lifecycle, working closely with operations teams to streamline processes where possible.
• Cloud Expertise: Stay current with cloud technologies, development practices, and industry trends. Leverage this knowledge to propose innovative solutions that drive business value.
• Employee Engagement: Act as a trusted advisor to employees, communicating complex technical concepts in a clear and understandable manner. Collaborate on technology roadmaps and assist on alignment with business objectives.
• Risk Assessment: Identify potential risks and challenges in proposed solutions and provide mitigation strategies.
• Hardware Management: Manage hardware and end-user devices, including procurement, setup, and lifecycle support.
• Additional duties as needed.

• Experience developing and maintaining back-end services, APIs, and databases (PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or similar.)
• Experience architecting and supporting cloud-based systems and integrations.
• Comfort operating across software development, systems administration, and IT support.
• Experience working with off-the-shelf workflow automation and integration tools.
• Experience with CRM, ERP, or other business system administration., If you're a detail-oriented problem solver who loves turning complex projects into solutions that support the clean energy movement-we'd love to hear from you.
