  • Collaborate with Engineering, Product, Sales, and Marketing teams to ensure alignment and push the product forward.
  • Demonstrate a high bar for code quality. Our customers deserve the best.
  • Be a great teammate, and contribute your personal touch to Tyba’s culture.

  • Proficiency in either Python or Clojure.
  • Enthusiasm for enterprise, product-oriented technical challenges.
  • Have an eye for design and a sense for exceptional user-experiences.
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Able to pick up new frameworks quickly and enjoy understanding technical domains deeply.
  • Interest in joining sales and customer calls to hear from our users first-hand.

Tyba’s Product

Tyba has two main products for customers – Project Simulation and Operations

Project Simulation: Configurable simulation platform where developers can model realistic financial and physical outcomes based on location, market dynamics, and battery specifications. 

Operations: Auto-bidding platform, powered by a proprietary neural network, that recommends and executes operating strategies based on industry-leading price forecasts and optimization methodology.

Want a sense for what you’d be working on? Recently within Project Simulation we’ve released features that enable customers to create and save custom views of battery revenue and performance, and built a tool that lets users clone entire workflows and alter specific inputs faster. On the Operations front, we’ve made a big push within battery customization. Have a particular operating strategy that you want to implement, our tools let you do it!

Tyba’s Technical Stack

Our asset models and ML models are written in Python. We also expose a public REST API and python client.

Our web app is built in Clojure(script) and Python. It uses the Fulcro library for managing client-server interactions. Tailwind CSS is used for styling, and Datomic and PostgreSQL for its data storage. The app is built using Docker and deployed via Kubernetes on AWS. The web app communicates with other internal codebases via GraphQL.

What does this mean for you as a Product Software Engineer? You’ll primarily write Clojure and Python, working across the stack to build and ship features end-to-end. Don’t worry if you’re not already familiar with those languages; we’ll support you in learning them.”

Compensation and benefits:

  • Salary: $150k-$200k
  • Benefits: Parental leave, medical benefits, unlimited PTO, and a bakery below our HQ. 
  • Equity Options: Opportunity to own a stake in the company through an employee stock option plan.
  • Flexible Work Environment: Hybrid work model, remote work options, and team offsites.
