Are you ready to join a software team whose work is revolutionizing the way consumers interact with and use energy? If you love solving complex problems and building highly scalable, distributed systems, then Tendril is the place for you.

Orchestrated Energy is a new technology developed to optimize energy usage in homes with connected devices. Our market position is expanding. We are rapidly adding customers and collecting tons of data. Big Data. We think about how to scale teams as well as data. We are focused on being extremely agile in our iterative approach to research and development. We’re working hard, and having a lot of fun doing it.

We are willing to dare greatly, and are not afraid to take ownership of not only what we craft, but also what we could do to improve the company. We change things instead of just complaining about what's not right. We collaborate through healthy conflict and discussion. We are passionate about our core value that we will win because our customers win. We do walking meetings and have social groups in slack that organize biking and skiing trips.

If this intrigues you, we are looking for skilled individuals who love to think about big data, write high-quality code designed for testability, and employ the craft of software development. We need motivated developers who are excited about working in an open, highly collaborative, agile environment with a leading-edge technology stack.
