Our mission is to rebuild American communities through healthy, affordable homes. At Zero Homes, we operate on a simple premise: when you make contractors successful, homeowners win. The current home services industry is fragmented, complex, and opaque, which is frustrating for homeowners and exhausting for contractors. We are changing this by building a home upgrade marketplace that enables a simple, central, transparent process for homeowners and contractors to complete projects. Through our platform we handle design, quoting, procurement, and customer service, allowing our contractor network to focus on what they do best and make them money: delivering projects. For homeowners, this delivers a predictable, high-quality, and transparent experience—transforming home upgrades from a source of anxiety into a seamless experience.Our vision is to create a world where homeowners and contractors in all 50 states can leverage our platform to execute thousands of projects every week within the next 36 months. We work by a clear set of values:

Be a "can kid," not a "can’t kid": We own our outcomes and go to extraordinary lengths to solve problems.
Go fast, be clear: Speed is our advantage, and we sweat the details to deliver an extraordinary customer experience.
Customer & Contractor Obsessed: We have a deep, personal understanding of the work to be done. We stay curious about our contractors' craft and the stories of our homeowners.
Win, as a team: We are building an iconic business that will reinvent the industry, and will do so together.

If you are ready to build a world-class consumer experience that genuinely rebuilds American communities, come build with us.

About the Role & Your Impact

This is an exciting opportunity to join an early stage company of talented engineers and designers, led by seasoned climate tech veterans. At Zero, Senior Engineers are individual contributors that report to a Lead Engineer. You will work in small teams (1 designer and 1-2 programmers) in six-week cycles to take loosely defined projects and deliver new features. Senior engineers are given broad latitude to make project-level design decisions and expected to operate effectively with minimal oversight. We are relentlessly focused on sustainable productivity. You should expect long stretches of deep work, no standing meetings, effective in person collaboration with stakeholders and peers, as well as flexibility around your personal life. The products we build serve a diverse range of customers: homeowners, contractors, and utilities, as well as the Zero employees that support these customers. Examples include a CAD application that designs HVAC and energy efficiency projects, our soon to be launched website refresh, and web apps that allow contractors and utilities to review and approve jobs. These products are built using Nuxt, Typescript & Tailwind, but no one on our team had experience with that complete stack before joining, and we don’t expect you to either. No matter what product you are working on, the code you write will be directly responsible for deploying millions of dollars into safer, healthier, and more cost-effective homes.

What You Bring

You are a generalist with discerning standards for code quality and architecture. Whether designing new features, writing modular code, performance testing applications, or operating production systems, you want to own projects from beginning to end. You have at least 5 years of professional software engineering experience across a range of languages, frameworks, and cloud environments, and you are constantly learning new technologies.
You are a detail-oriented systems thinker. You want to own the whole product, not just isolated features. You always anchor your work on user needs and seek to understand how users operate in a larger context. You may not have experience in climate tech or building science, but you are eager to dive into the messy world of residential electrification.
You have an eye for elegance - the confluence of beauty, effectiveness, and simplicity - and you have a proven track record of building elegant digital experiences from the ground up. You value functional beauty in the physical world, and you are excited to build software that will create healthy, comfortable, and sustainable living spaces for our customers.
You are a pragmatic team player. You know that products only matter if they ship. You are prepared to collaborate with product designers and make tradeoffs to deliver projects within a fixed time box. You want lots of freedom, but you know that comes with the responsibility to communicate and deliver.
You are enthusiastic about in-person work. You want to know your users by name, and you want to see them smile when they use your designs. You live within 50 miles of Denver, CO or are willing to relocate.
