About Nira Energy

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, 

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.  

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, receiving mentorship from senior transmission planning engineers in the NYC office.

• 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. 

This could be a great fit if: 

• You have experience with generation interconnection related studies. You 

World, Python, etc.; and you already have a sense of what data renewable 

developers need to build a portfolio of successful projects. 

• You have a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering

• 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.  

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.
