Job Description

QUICK NOTE:<\/b><\/p>

If you are NOT located in the United States, please do not apply. This is only<\/b> eligible for people who are US Citizens or current Green Card holders who are living in the US and want to relocate to Chicago. This is NOT a remote job<\/b>... Thank you<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
Energy Talent Search is conducting a confidential search<\/b> for a Full Stack Software Engineer<\/b> to join a Chicago\-based, early\-stage technology company<\/b> building a next\-generation, AI\-driven data aggregation and data intelligence platform<\/b> for mid\-market companies.<\/div>

This is a well\-funded, early\-stage startup<\/b> with a live product<\/b>, paying customers<\/b>, and fast access to capital<\/b>. The founding team has prior startup and successful exit experience<\/b>, and the engineering group is intentionally small, senior, and highly selective<\/b>.<\/p>

This is not an idea\-stage company and not a consulting\-driven organization. The product is in market, customers are actively using it, and the company is scaling deliberately with a strong focus on engineering quality. <\/p>

<\/div>
The client would prefer a local Chicago engineer but would relocate the right candidate for someone who wants to be in Chicago.\x26nbsp;<\/div>
<\/div>

What the Company Is Building<\/b><\/h2>

The company is building a unified data platform<\/b> that makes it dramatically easier for mid\-market businesses<\/b> to collect, organize, stream, and act on data<\/b>\\u2014without the complexity, cost, and operational overhead typically associated with enterprise\-scale solutions.<\/p>

The platform brings together disparate data sources into a single system and enables:<\/p>

  • Real\-time data ingestion and event streaming<\/b><\/p><\/li>

  • Centralized organization and normalization of data<\/p><\/li>

  • AI\-powered insights, automation, and alerts<\/b><\/p><\/li>

  • Native Excel integration<\/b> for business users<\/p><\/li>

  • Automated workflows driven by live data signals<\/b><\/p><\/li><\/ul>

    The product is positioned as a simpler, faster, mid\-market alternative<\/b> to heavyweight platforms such as Databricks<\/span><\/span><\/b>, Palantir<\/span><\/span><\/b>, and large consulting\-driven implementations, which are often expensive, slow to deploy, and overbuilt for this customer segment.<\/p>

    The focus is on practical, usable data intelligence<\/b>, not theoretical tooling or bloated enterprise architectures.<\/p>

    <\/div>
    This role is a hands\-on individual contributor position<\/b>. It is not<\/b> managerial, not<\/b> consultative, and not<\/b> an oversight role. You are expected to write production code regularly<\/b> and contribute directly to core product architecture and feature development.<\/div>
    <\/div><\/span>

    Requirements<\/h3>
    • Strong, hands\-on full stack software engineering experience<\/b><\/p><\/li>

    • Proven ability to build and ship real production software<\/b><\/p><\/li>

    • Experience working across frontend, backend, and application\-layer systems<\/b><\/p><\/li>

    • Comfort operating in early\-stage, fast\-moving, ambiguous environments<\/b><\/p><\/li>

    • Startup experience strongly preferred<\/b><\/p><\/li>

    • Strong engineering judgment and system\-level thinking<\/p><\/li>

    • Engineers who still code day\-to\-day<\/b><\/p><\/li>

    • Stable work history (this role is not<\/b> a fit for frequent job hoppers)<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

      This role is NOT open to:<\/b><\/p>

      • Contractors or consultants<\/p><\/li>

      • Agency developers<\/p><\/li>

      • Sales, marketing, product, or executive profiles<\/p><\/li>

      • Engineers who no longer code regularly<\/p><\/li><\/ul>

        <\/div><\/span>

        Benefits<\/h3>
      • Base salary:<\/b> Approximately $180,000\-$200,000 range<\/p><\/li>

      • Meaningful equity<\/b> with real upside (equity is a core part of compensation)<\/p><\/li>

      • Opportunity to join a company with live product and paying customers<\/b><\/p><\/li>

      • Small, elite engineering team with real ownership and autonomy<\/p><\/li>

      • Direct impact on product direction and architecture<\/p><\/li>

      • Opportunity to build something genuinely useful at the intersection of AI and data<\/b><\/p><\/li>

      • Long\-term upside aligned with company growth and success<\/p><\/li>

        <\/div>
        Relocation to Chicago for the right candidate. Must currently be living in the US...this role is NOT a remote job.\x26nbsp;<\/div>
        <\/div>
        This is ONLY open to US Citizens or Green Card holders currently living in the United States.<\/div><\/span>
