About the company:

Aquicore is the leading ESG data and analytics platform that empowers real estate to take the actions necessary to achieve net zero carbon. Through flexible data collection, sophisticated analytics, and deep expertise, Aquicore supports the world's largest real estate institutions in obtaining high quality ESG data, identifying and executing comprehensive ESG improvement strategies, and achieving energy and GHG emissions reduction targets portfolio-wide. The Aquicore platform is currently deployed across more than 1,000 buildings and 400 million square feet with leading owners and operators of real estate, including Tishman Speyer, Bridge Commercial Real Estate, EQ Office, DWS, and Columbia Property Trust.

Aquicore was founded in 2013 in the early hours of the morning on the belief that smarter and more connected buildings will have a global impact in curbing our climate challenges and make buildings technologically ready for the next century.

We create global impact by bettering the built environment every day.

Our next generation of software which facilitates smarter building operations is used by the largest real estate owners and operators around the world. We are changing the industry from the ground up and we’re looking for the right people to achieve our mission!

We’re amped by the work we do and driven to constantly propel our values and culture. While awards aren’t the goal, we are humbled to be recognized as one of the coolest places to work by organizations such as DC Inno. Our people come first and it’s the combination of our culture and our mission that has been our greatest differentiator. We take our core values as a company seriously and aspire to level-up our Aquicorians in their careers and professional growth.

Our Challenge

We are seeking a holistic and mature software engineer. Someone who can see the forest and trees. We're looking for an analytical individual who is focused on finding solutions, making them scaleable, and likes to play around in the whole stack. Your deep insights with our end user will help uncover meaningful ways to enhance the customer experience.

Who you will work with

As a Software Engineer, you will work as part of our Cloud Engineering team to deliver high quality software. In addition to the pure engineering aspects of this role, you will work closely with our Product Management team to ensure we are planning, prioritizing, de-risking, and delivering the highest business value with each feature. This is not solely the responsibility of one team, and you will work with our Hardware, Data Science, Engagement, and Support teams to ensure that our deliverables are complete, accurate, and meeting the rigorous demands of our customer base.

Is this role not a perfect fit?

Aquicore values diversity. We are committed to equal opportunities and creating an inclusive environment for all our employees. We welcome applicants regardless of ethnic origin, national origin, gender, race, religious beliefs, disability, sexual orientation or age. Aquicore is an EEOC.
