RoleOrenda 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.
Qualifications- 4+ years building on business-critical platforms (Salesforce, ERP systems, or comparable low-code applications), with hands-on ownership of configuration, data models, and integrations
- 2+ years as a primary business system[s] owner, accountable for roadmap, stakeholder communication, design decisions, and day-to-day operations
- Hands-on Salesforce administration and development experience
- Demonstrated experience designing relational data models from scratch and deploying in production
- Proficiency in Python for scripting, integrations, and automation
- Excellent communication skills: comfortable partnering with technical and non-technical stakeholders, enforcing requirements clarity, and documenting decisions
- Strong process-oriented mindset: instinctively thinks about scalability and edge cases when designing systems
- Experience building and maintaining integrations between business systems (APIs, webhooks, ETL/ELT, iPaaS tools)
- Bias toward scalable, repeatable design over one-off fixes
- Relentlessly positive attitude, strong work ethic, and sense of humor
Preferred Qualifications- Experience leading an ERP implementation alongside a third-party firm
- Hands-on experience applying AI/LLMs inside business systems or operational workflows
- Familiarity with construction management platforms
- Background in energy, real estate development, construction, or another asset-intensive industry
