About Energy Hire

Energy Hire is re-engineering how the energy industry finds and hires talent with leading-edge technologies, processes and systems, designed to improve the hiring experience for businesses and job seekers. Our AI-powered platform matches top professionals with growing businesses, reducing time-to-hire, and unlocking better outcomes for both sides of the market. We are a technology company first, everything we build is aimed at making hiring faster, smarter, and more human-centric. Founded just a few years ago by someone who came up in the world of oil and gas, but made their waves with the development and sale of Mineral Ware. As a seed-stage startup, we embrace speed, quality, and excellence. We are supportive, positive, and focused on results. We work hard, because we care about the customers we serve and want to make the world a better place through our contributions.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a technology maintenance position. You will architect and code entirely new systems that shape the trajectory of our company and, by extension, the way energy companies hire. You will partner directly with product, growth, marketing, development and sales to turn customer insights into features, experiments, and revenue. There is no people-management line in your org chart, yet your technical vision and project-management skill will galvanize designers, data scientists, and GTM teams around clear, ambitious goals. You will be well-versed in the newest development technologies to rapidly create, deploy, test, integrate and scale new features, and products. You will need to have a spirit for winning, and a passion for building amazing things that work great, look great, and keep customers engaged and excited.
