At SunRun, we're all about bringing clean, solar power to the masses, and it is this singular mission that drives our Engineering team to focus on two simple, but very important things:
1) Reducing the upfront cost of solar. For the Engineering team, this means:
• Building a consumer-facing website that allows prospective customers to determine exactly what solar energy would cost per kWh if installed on their home, to learn how systems in their neighborhood perform, and to determine what sort of technology is best in their geography.
• Making it brutally easy for our growing network of top-tier installation partners to tap into our proprietary pricing and proposal engine and to offer the lowest priced solar systems on the planet.
2) Making it easy - maybe even fun - for our residential customers and SunRun's own operations team to oversee how our solar systems are performing. Why? Because increased monitoring == higher performing systems == more clean solar kilowatt-hours == better pricing on future systems. SunRun already owns and monitors at revenue grade more solar facilities than any other company in the country.

• Review and re-factor Java codebase related to database access:
o Identify and optimize inefficient database access code (inefficient queries, unnecessary updates, etc.).
o Review and re-factor in-house developed JDBC wrapper framework.
o Investigate opportunities for using second level caching solution to take load off the database.
• Peer review of database access code in current and future development projects.
• Contribute to key architectural decisions that directly impact the scalability of the SunRun applications.
• Collaborate with other developers to design complete solutions for new features and application components.
• Think innovatively to help shape our agile software development processes and practices.
• Research and recommend new and emerging technologies that are not only exciting but will also enhance our customers’ user experience and improve the productivity of the team or scalability of the applications.

The ideal candidate should have 7+ years of object-oriented application development experience with a focus on database-driven web applications. We're looking for all-around solid developers, but we would really like to see a little Java and Python experience in there too. Either that, or you've got to show us that you've got a solid programming foundation and convince us that this is something you can pick up. And, if all you've done is VB.NET, we're probably going to need a little more convincing.
We're looking for someone who is energetic and enthusiastic about software development, who's excited about working closely on small development teams, who enjoys taking ownership of their work, who wants to help us think about and design new software solutions, who wants to introduce new technology ideas, and who wants to learn.

Candidates should have extensive experience in the following technical areas:
• Core computer sciences knowledge, with an emphasis on object-oriented application design and development.
• Relational database systems - including database design and more advanced SQL knowledge. We are not particularly concerned with which RDBMS, but we expect candidates to know more than how to select all rows from a table.
• Full-scope application development. We are looking for candidates who have been there from beginning to end and who have been involved in all (or many) facets of the development process – from creating build scripts to designing class architecture to writing code and unit tests.
Candidates should have experience in the following general technical areas:
• Python WSGI-style web application development (potentially with application framework such as Pylons, TG, Django, etc.),
• Testing methodologies and/or frameworks (unit testing, integration/functional testing),
• Solid Linux background and experience with setup and administration of LAMP services (e.g. Apache, RDBMS, etc.)
Strong additional consideration will be given to candidates who have experience or familiarity with (any of) the following:
• Object-relational mapping tools (e.g. SQLAlchemy, SQLObject),
• PostgreSQL (administration, plpgsql, PostGIS),
• Twisted or other asynchronous networking frameworks,
• Software packaging and deployment experience (e.g. RPM, Deb),
