🌱 About Dandelion Energy
Dandelion Energy is transforming how homes are heated and cooled—starting from (below) the ground up. As the nation’s leading residential geothermal company, we design, install, and maintain all-in-one heating and cooling systems that are cleaner, quieter, and up to 4x more efficient than traditional HVAC, with a focus on large, scaled deployments to large homebuilders. We’re an ambitious (and growing) team on a mission to revolutionize home heating.
Backed by Google Ventures (GV) and other top tech investors, our end-to-end geothermal solution is breaking the status quo of residential heating and cooling technology, and we’re scaling rapidly to meet demand. Whether we’re serving national homebuilders or individual homeowners, our mission is the same: to make geothermal the default choice for heating and cooling in the U.S.

- Coordinate interviews, track candidates, and maintain accurate data in Greenhouse (ATS)
- Help develop and improve scalable recruiting workflows and candidate experience best practices
- Represent Dandelion’s mission, culture, and values with clarity and enthusiasm to all candidates
🎯 You’ll Thrive in This Role If You…

- Are comfortable working across multiple roles and priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Bring a “no task too small” mindset and love rolling up your sleeves
- Are curious, resourceful, and proactive when solving problems
