Company
Orenda is on a mission to make the grid more efficient with batteries and software. We build and operate energy storage projects in dense urban environments to bridge the gap between renewables and electricity consumption.
About the role
Orenda’s business systems are the operational backbone of the company — the platforms and data flows that turn project development, construction, and asset operations into a coordinated, scalable process. This role is responsible for designing and building that backbone.
We are a dynamic, NYC-based startup at the forefront of a new industry. We are seeking highly motivated and incredibly talented individuals who wish to contribute to our important mission.
Role
Orenda is looking to hire a Business Systems Engineer to serve as the thought leader and technical owner of the business systems that run the company. You will own a portfolio of platforms at every stage of maturity — from existing deployments to greenfield builds to vendor-led implementations — and take on additional systems as Orenda grows.
This role is for someone who thinks in data models and processes first, writes code when it matters, and treats low-code platforms as serious engineering tools. You’ll work across every team in the company — development, construction, operations, finance — translating how the business works into systems that scale.
What You’ll Do
•
Source-of-Truth Database: Design, build, and own Orenda’s distributed energy resource (DER) project source-of-truth database from the ground up.
•
Salesforce & Construction Management: Take ownership of Orenda’s existing Salesforce and construction management deployments. Build out new features and continuously improve them as the business evolves.
•
ERP Implementation: Serve as the internal technical lead for Orenda’s ERP implementation, partnering with a third-party firm to scope, oversee, and directly contribute to the buildout. Own the system end-to-end once live.
•
Integrations: Build and maintain the integrations between our systems, so data stays consistent and error free. Use low code applications or custom scripting.
•
Process & Data Design: Partner with business stakeholders to map how Orenda actually works and translate it into the data models and processes that run the company — making decisions that hold up as we grow from tens to hundreds of projects.
•
AI-Driven Efficiency: Identify and prototype opportunities to apply AI within Orenda’s business systems — automating routine work and boosting team efficiency.
•
Documentation & Enablement: Maintain clear documentation of everything you build, so the business can trust the systems and new hires can ramp quickly.
