Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer — Solar Design Tools

Revamp Engineering is an employee-owned engineering design firm focused on renewable energy projects. They are seeking a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer to design and build internal software tools for utility-scale solar project design, managing the architecture and development of applications that have a significant impact on renewable energy deployment.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the technical architecture of a new internal design platform, making foundational decisions on tech stack, data models, and system design in collaboration with an external architect consultant during the initial build phase
• Independently apply extensive and diversified knowledge of software engineering principles and practices to solve complex, non-standard technical challenges
• Design and build a desktop or web-based UI that allows engineers to configure designs
• Build tools that interface with AutoCAD
• Integrate terrain and topographic data from multiple formats (Civil 3D surfaces, LiDAR point clouds, GIS shapefiles/GeoTIFF) into the design workflow
• Collaborate closely with the product owner to translate documented design rules, setback constraints, and labeling conventions from spreadsheets into working software logic
• Establish and enforce development practices for the project, including version control workflows, testing strategy, CI/CD, and documentation; review work products for conformity and quality assurance
• Implement optimization algorithms and approaches to refine designs
• Review and finalize scopes, effort estimates, and delivery schedules for the platform and its component workstreams
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for the internal product team and relevant stakeholders
• Assist upper-level management as a technical specialist and advisor on software platform strategy and build-vs-buy decisions
• Supervise, provide guidance to, and mentor any assigned developers or contractor contributors on the team
• Develop new techniques, improved processes, and reusable tooling to advance the platform's long-term architecture
• Perform additional duties as assigned or directed

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, software engineering, or a related field
• 5+ years of professional experience in full-stack software development with a portfolio or track record of shipping production applications used by non-developer end users
• Strong proficiency in Python and at least one of C# or C++
• 3+ years of experience designing and building desktop or web application UIs with a modern framework (React, Qt, Electron, WPF, or similar)
• Advanced understanding of software architecture; demonstrated ability to independently evaluate, select, and adapt architectural approaches — including monolith vs. services, state management, file formats, and data flow — for a multi-year product, with minimal supervision
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously and independently, including prioritizing, organizing, and planning effectively
• Experience supervising, mentoring, or technically directing less experienced developers or contractors
• Advanced written and verbal communication skills; ability to regularly translate engineering domain requirements into software specifications and present technical direction to non-technical stakeholders
• Experience with AutoCAD development: ObjectARX, AutoCAD .NET API, or DWG/DXF file libraries (ODA SDK, ezdxf, or similar)
• Background in computational geometry, terrain modeling, or optimization algorithms
• Experience in the energy, AEC (architecture/engineering/construction), or GIS industries
• Familiarity with CAD file formats and standards (DWG, DXF, SHP, GeoJSON)
• Experience building file import/export pipelines that handle messy, non-standardized input data
• Experience working with geospatial or coordinate-based data (GIS libraries, coordinate systems, spatial indexing, or similar)
• Prior experience as a technical lead, staff engineer, or first engineer on a greenfield product
• Experience contributing to proposals, scoping exercises, or effort estimation for software development engagement
