Technical Lead, Evaluation
Measurabl 4.2
San Francisco, CA jobs
We're looking for a technical leader with a bias for quality, systems thinking, and impact to spearhead the engineering behind Station A's geospatial evaluation platform-the engine that identifies the most financially viable clean energy opportunities in the market. This role thrives in an early-stage, fast-moving environment while building the right long-term systems: balancing speed with maintainability, enabling the team to scale, and creating the technical foundation for the next decade of growth.
About The Role
In the next 30 years, every part of our built environment will need to transform to support a more resilient, independent, and decarbonized grid. Rising demand from data centers, electrification of everything, and an aging power grid create both pressure and opportunity for clean energy deployment.
The problem? Origination. Most clean energy projects fail long before they are built because developers spend enormous time and money qualifying sites, collecting data, assessing interconnection, and navigating zoning, only to discover too late that projects will not pencil. In fact, as much as 80% of projects stall or die, representing billions in wasted costs and years of lost time.
At Station A, we are solving this bottleneck. Our evaluation platform combines geospatial data, analytics, and automation to rapidly identify the most financially and technically viable clean energy opportunities before a project starts. In the past year alone, we have evaluated over 85 GW of projects, surfacing billions in potential investment.
This role is about leading the technology behind that evaluation engine, scaling it to be the fastest, most accurate, and most trusted way to identify clean energy opportunities in the market. By joining, you will help build the technical foundation that enables cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable power for businesses and communities across the country.
Whether or not you have worked in climate tech before, if you want your engineering leadership to tackle a mission-critical challenge at the intersection of energy, infrastructure, and technology, we would 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.
Compensation
Reports to: Head of Product

Experience with data engineering tools (Airflow, dbt, Kafka, Spark) to support scalable evaluations
Exposure to AI/ML applications, especially for geospatial or optimization problems
Domain experience in clean energy, sustainability, or climate tech
Why this role matters
Technical leadership capacity: We're understaffed in strong technical leadership. You'll shape both the system and the team that builds it
Systems thinking: You'll help us manage technical debt intentionally, and redesign core pieces of our platform as we scale
Mentorship: Your example will level up the engineering org, embedding best practices across the team
Capacity growth: Every line of code you and your team ship enables Station A to scale our business model from service-heavy to product-driven
Location & Travel
