Do you want to change the world? We do, too.
Â
SunPower is changing the way our world is powered every day with a passionate and driven team of more than 3,660 full-time employees in North America and the Philippines. SunPower provides world-class solar solutions to residential customers across the U.S. with a commitment to a superior customer experience. We welcome forward thinkers, freedom chasers and all those demanding better, cleaner energy to join us.
Summary of Role:
As a Software Development Engineer at SunPower, you will build software and services that increase the amount of solar power produced on our planet every single day. Solar energy is one of the fastest-growing industries in the US. Not only is going solar beneficial for the planet; for most Americans it also saves money vs. buying power from utilities. Studies show that the #1 barrier to solar adoption is concern over how to pay for initial installation. The mission of SunPower Financial is to remove that barrier by making it cheap and easy for customers to go solar. This is a green field opportunity allowing for impact at scale almost immediately.Â
We are looking for software engineers to deliver high-quality experiences that delight customers. Our Software Engineers work directly with business and product owners to design new systems and features to make financing and paying for solar simple, fast and easy. Our software engineering teams have a considerable amount of autonomy to solve customer problems in the best way they see fit.Â
An ideal candidate will approach their job with empathy, seeking to understand existing systems and practices, and building relationships with teams and team members along the way. They have the ability to deliver a considerable amount of code, and will work closely with their team members to develop software for the long-term. They believe there are generally multiple ways to solve a problem, and that particular approaches are rarely, if ever, “right” or “wrong”.
Required Qualifications:
