The Company
Nira is a software company with a mission of accelerating the integration of large-scale
renewable energy projects. Developers of solar, wind, and energy storage projects use
Nira’s software to find the best locations to site their projects and help manage them
through the queue. Nira’s software products simplify complex and niche electrical
engineering concepts that would otherwise lead most renewable energy projects to be
cancelled after significant investment.

In less than five years, Nira has solidified a track record of success a with a growing,
and profitable, 25+ employee company. They’ve established an extremely reputable
brand and have a rapidly growing customer base. The opportunity to join such an early
stage, yet risk-reduced, software company in growth mode is a rare opportunity.

Job Description
Nira is hiring Transmission Planning Engineers to join the product team comprised of
half planning engineers and half software engineers. In this role, you’ll work with other
planning engineers and software engineers to build products that help renewable
developers put together successful project portfolios. Specifically, you’ll:
• Focus on deepening and expanding your transmission planning and generator
interconnection studies subject matter expertise.
• Work with software engineers and product managers to codify your domain
knowledge into Nira’s software products’ backend.
• Support the full product life cycle including product ideation, research and
development, coding, sales support, customer support, and product
maintenance.

Who We’re Looking For
This could be a great fit if:
• You have experience with generation interconnection related studies. You
have 2+ years of hands on experience with tools like TARA, PSS/E, Power
World, Python, etc.; and you already have a sense of what data renewable
developers need to build a portfolio of successful projects.
• You’re motivated by having ownership in your work. You take initiative on
projects and have a strong preference to be a trailblazer. Or when the "trail" is
given to you, you are motivated to challenge it and ensure it's the best trail every
step of the way.
• You’re ready to roll up your sleeves for the team, and no task is beneath
you. Sometimes the work isn’t always sexy, but you’re down to do it anyway if it
means advancing the mission and providing value to our customers.
• You want to level up your software engineering skills. The power of Nira
comes from codifying our transmission planning knowledge! You’ll work directly
with an extremely talented group of software engineers to create products. If you
like to code, this is the highest value opportunity in the space to grow this skillset.
• You’re low ego. You may have strong opinions, but you hold them loosely. You
challenge your instincts, are data driven, and aren’t scared to be wrong. You
seek to find the best solutions for our customers even if it runs counter to your
initial thinking.

Why Nira?
Nira is a mission-oriented company that places a strong emphasis on a positive work
culture. They have built a world class team of software engineers and transmission
planning engineers, and you'll be working amongst a team of all stars.

The company is growing exponentially, and the opportunity for professional growth is
huge. The organization is flat, the leadership is transparent, and you get full exposure to
seeing what it takes to go from 0 to 1 with product development and business in
general.

This is also an opportunity to get equity in an early-stage startup with rare momentum.
