The Position

Uplight is

Description

The Position

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.

We are seeking a Data Engineer focusing on data platform enablement to support our mission and scale our impact

How You Will Make An Impact

As a Data Engineer at Uplight, you’ll play a central role in designing and maintaining the infrastructure that ingests, transforms, and delivers data across our platform. Your work ensures that data systems are reliable, scalable, observable, and cost-efficient—forming the backbone of many customer-facing and data science-driven solutions.

You’ll partner with cross-functional teams including analysts, product managers, and data scientists to ensure the platform meets the evolving needs of our business and our users.

What You Get To Do

• Design, build, and maintain data pipelines using Databricks (Spark, Delta Lake) and Python.
• Collaborate across teams to develop core platform capabilities—such as orchestration, metadata management, and data quality—delivering scalable, reusable solutions
• Improve reliability and fault tolerance of ingest pipelines handling large volumes of utility data.
• Build and support MLOps tooling, including data pipelines, model registries, and serving infrastructure
• Participate in the full software development lifecycle : design, build, test, deploy, and support
• Contribute to a remote-first team that values agility, collaboration, and clarity—favoring whiteboarding, async design docs, and reflective retros over rigid ceremonies.
• Continuously learn and grow with support from senior engineers and team leads
• Help maintain a team culture rooted in curiosity, empathy, and continuous improvement
