Technical Lead, Transaction, Station A, CA, US

We’re looking for a technical leader with deep marketplace experience to own and scale the technology behind Station A’s clean energy marketplace. This is the engine that transforms clean energy opportunities into real projects by connecting buyers and providers through open, transparent competition. The ideal candidate thrives in an early-stage, fast-moving environment, but insists on building scalable systems, shaping technical culture, and translating engineering excellence into marketplace growth.

About the role

Finding clean energy opportunities is only the first step. The real challenge is getting projects transacted and built at scale. Today, most transactions in clean energy are slow, opaque, and manual. Buyers struggle to get competitive, apples-to-apples bids. Providers spend enormous time chasing projects that go nowhere. The result is higher costs, wasted time, and fewer megawatts deployed.

At Station A, our marketplace changes this dynamic by creating open, standardized, and transparent workflows for clean energy transactions. Buyers get firm, competitive pricing. Providers gain efficient access to qualified projects. And the market as a whole benefits from lower origination costs and faster deployment.

This role is about leading the technology that powers our transaction platform. You will own the marketplace stack that enables project listing, bidding, evaluation, and award. You will ensure our systems are scalable, trusted, and efficient as we grow to thousands of projects and billions in clean energy transactions.

If you’re excited about scaling a marketplace that drives liquidity, efficiency, and trust in one of the most important markets of our time, we’d love to talk.

Who we are

Station A is a technology company reimagining how clean energy is bought and sold. Our remote-first team is made up of climate-minded technologists, strategists, and operators committed to making climate action a no-brainer for everyone.

We combine proprietary software with industry expertise to guide commercial real estate owners and operators through their decarbonization journey, starting with evaluation of their portfolios and culminating in transactions through our clean energy marketplace.
