We are excited to partner with Noda to attract top talent for Building Systems Engineer.
Noda is a data and analytics company for the commercial built environment. We reimagine how modern buildings operate — because a better world needs better buildings. Better buildings are more efficient, more sustainable, and more resilient. They are intelligent, autonomous ecosystems that anticipate and adapt, seamlessly.
With commercial building operations accounting for nearly 30% of global emissions, we’re on a mission to turn buildings into a force for positive change, powering a more efficient, more sustainable world. We do this with smart software, careful use of modern artificial intelligence, sophisticated data models, and custom interfaces to building systems – and a lot of in-depth knowledge about how commercial buildings actually run.
We’re a young, nimble company where we very much value creative thinking, a love of team work, and a determination to solve the problem, whatever it is. Priorities can shift fast, so adaptability and flexibility come with the territory. The consequence is that you’ll have a chance to make a real impact, backed by a supportive team
You will spend much of your time working with the Building Systems Engineering and Customer Success team to drive customer value. You will also work closely with Noda's product and engineering teams to aid in onboarding building systems data, improving data processing, and quality tooling, and iterating on Noda’s cutting-edge AI-based technology.
