Software Engineer (Full-Stack, AI-First, Early Career) Full Time

U.S.-based candidates only (must be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship now or in the future)

We’re building software for the electric utility industry using modern tools and an AI-first development approach.

Most teams are still experimenting with AI, we’re already using it as an integral part of our development process.

We’re looking for a full-stack engineer who works the same way. Someone who moves quickly, ships often, and uses AI tools as a natural part of their workflow.

This role is best suited for early-career engineers who want to accelerate their growth by working on real systems, with real users, in a fast-moving environment.

The Role

You’ll work on production applications used by major utilities, building and shipping features end-to-end.

This is a hands-on role with a lot of ownership; you’ll be expected to take ideas from rough concept to production quickly, using the full stack and whatever tools help you move fastest.

You won’t be limited to narrowly scoped tasks, this is an opportunity to learn quickly by doing meaningful work from day one.

What You’ll Do

• Build and ship full-stack features using TypeScript, Next.js, and Node.js
• Use tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or similar to accelerate development
• Prototype quickly, then refine based on real client and internal-team feedback
• Work directly with a small engineering team to make decisions and move fast
• Contribute to how we use AI and modern tooling across the engineering team
• Work with PostgreSQL, AWS, and Vercel in production environments

What We’re Looking For

We care less about how many years of experience you have and more about how you’re building.

You’ll likely do well at Accion if you:

• Are early in your career (or have equivalent hands-on experience) and ramp quickly
• Already use AI tools constantly when writing code
• Have built and shipped projects on your own
• Default to action and iteration rather than over-planning
• Pick up new tools and frameworks quickly
• Are comfortable operating with a high degree of ownership and some ambiguity

If you prefer slower, highly structured environments or more traditional development workflows, this role is likely not a fit.

Core Skills

• TypeScript and modern web frameworks (Next.js preferred)
• Backend development (Node.js, APIs)
• Familiarity with PostgreSQL or similar databases
• Experience deploying applications (AWS, Vercel, or similar)

Strong Signals

• Side projects or products you’ve shipped
• GitHub or portfolio with real work
• Experience using AI to build faster or better
• Exposure to AI APIs, agents, or automation workflows

Why Join

• Designed as a high-growth role for early-career engineers
• Opportunity to make a real impact on critical national infrastructure development
• AI-first approach to building software and ambition to remain cutting edge
• Small, fast-moving team with real ownership over tech decisions
• Stable, profitable company with long-term focus

How to Apply

• Share a few things you’ve built and how you’re using AI in your workflow. Tell us why you’re interested in joining our team specifically.
