What is Verse? 

Organizations today are under growing pressure to navigate the transition to clean energy — not just to meet sustainability goals, but to manage risk, control costs, and build long-term resilience. Yet the complexity of energy markets and a lack of accessible tools have made it difficult for most companies to take meaningful action. Verse was created to change that.

Our mission is to make the case for clean energy irrefutable. Through our AI-powered platform, Aria, we help organizations plan, procure, and operate clean energy to achieve their financial and sustainability goals. Verse transforms clean energy ambition into action — giving businesses the clarity and confidence to lead in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

The Role

As a Software Engineer focusing on Product Experience at Verse, you will sit closest to the customer in developing and enhancing user interfaces and experiences (UI/UX) for our Aria software product. You will be a part of a dynamic, robust team building on our frontend stack composed of Typescript, React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Radix/ShadCN, and more to deliver rich, interactive, and seamless user experiences. We use Jest, Cypress, Playwright, and Vitest for various unit and integration testing workloads, Storybook for component libraries, Apache Echarts and Plotly for data visualization, and Cloudflare Pages for hosting and content delivery. Our customers rely on Clerk for user logins.

  • Proven track record of delivering responsive and intuitive UIs
  • Technical leadership and commitment to delivering high quality software on time or ahead of schedule and adhering to best software development practices

  • A bachelor’s degree or higher, not necessarily in a STEM field
  • Senior or Staff level software development talent and up
  • Enthusiasm for Typescript, React, and Next.js
  • Experience authoring and maintaining UI kits, design systems, component libraries
  • Not afraid to get hands on with the full stack

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
