Description

Are you tired of large corporate or government environments? Would you like to work on the OS of your choice? To have a smart and talented team to work with and have weekly code reviews with? Do you love to build products that have significant impact on a wider scale? Would you prefer to use Open Source tools and to work in a casual environment with free lunches and monthly happy hours? If you say "yes" to any of these questions, then keep reading! You can at OPOWER! We are seeking smart and talented software engineers that enjoy problem-solving and building useful products that make a difference in people's lives.

About the Job
You will work across the entire technology stack and be fully responsible for what you build -- from design to implementation to deployment to maintenance. You will write elegant, maintainable, robust, scalable code every day.

This is an IDEAL job for an engineer with 5-10 years of experience who wants to be part of a small team, feel total ownership over their work, and code like a ninja to make this a raging success. We are seeking a developer who is equally comfortable with front and back end development.

Responsibilities:
Design and implement features of our product suite.
Code in Java using open-source technologies.
Contribute to the improvement of our software development process.
Analyze requirements of projects and collaborate with other software engineers during the design phase.

You have 5-10 years of software development experience and you are strong in Java, HTML, CSS and SQL.
Experience with data warehousing and mining is a big plus. Previous work with machine learning is better still.
