Staff Software Engineer (Golang SaaS Dev)

Job Title - Staff Software Engineer (Golang, SaaS Dev) Job Location - Pune, Maharashtra, Remote (for now) About Client - Our client is revolutionizing the management of heating and cooling systems. Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Refrigeration (HVAC/R) in 94% of commercial buildings in the US (and more worldwide) are operated inefficiently and fail without warning. Commercial building owners and operators waste billions of dollars in energy, emergency repairs, downtime and food waste due to HVAC/R equipment failing. Tragically, these systems also generate the same amount of greenhouse gasses as 4.3 crore petrol cars and contribute significantly towards global warming. They are building a technology enabled service platform to reduce emissions from commercial HVAC/R and help owners/operators reduce waste and downtime. They launched their v1 product and services in March 2023 and has already signed on 100+ paid locations.
