Uplight is creating a new category of energy. We make software that manages energy resources
in homes and businesses—including things like smart thermostats, electric vehicles, solar panels,
storage batteries, heat pumps, and even people’s behavior—to generate, shift, or save energy to
balance the grid, making it more efficient and reliable. This creates clean energy capacity that
can be used by the power grid instead of burning more fossil fuels. Our solutions accelerate the
transition to clean energy and save money for energy customers.

The Position
We are seeking a seasoned and passionate Senior Software Engineer (Frontend) with deep
expertise in React and Angular to join our Engineering team. In this role, you will play a key part in
designing and building scalable, high-performance web applications that serve both internal
teams and external partners.
As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you will take full ownership of the frontend architecture, focusing
on building reusable, modular, and extensible UI components and widgets that can be leveraged
across multiple products and platforms. You will collaborate closely with backend engineers,
product managers, designers, and stakeholders to deliver seamless, responsive, and intuitive
user experiences.
You will be responsible for driving frontend best practices, performance optimization, code
quality, and maintainability. This role requires strong architectural thinking, hands-on
development expertise, and the ability to mentor junior engineers while contributing strategically
to product and technology roadmaps.
You will independently own development and quality of deliverables while working in a
fast-paced, collaborative, and impact-driven environment.
