About Daylight
Daylight is the decentralized energy company. We're buildinga protocol that converts distributed solar and storage systems into yield-bearing infrastructure. These assets are deployed behind the meter in American homes and businesses, generating electricity revenues that flow onchain as a single, liquid yield token. Our ambition is to build the economic engine for energy abundance-where capital fuels power, and power fuels everything.
Our team brings together energy and crypto veterans who believe in a future where communities power themselves. Backed by a16z, Framework, and other industry-leading investors, we're building the infrastructure to make that vision a reality. Learn more at www.godaylight.com

  • CRM& Internal Tools Development
    • Leverage and extend Django's admin interface to build a feature-rich internal CRM and administration portal
    • Customize the Django admin site to meet evolving business and workflow needs
    • Work with stakeholders to refine internal processes and drive user-friendly administrative solutions
  • Technical Architecture & DevOps
    • Contribute to architecture planning and drive technical design decisions that ensure scalability and security
    • Optimize the application stack for maximum speed and reliability
    • Embrace CI/CD methodologies and infrastructure-as-code practices to streamline deployments
    • Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies that enhance our backend ecosystem

  • Familiarity with version control systems, particularly Git
  • Knowledge of backend performance profiling and optimization techniques
  • Experience with testing and managing AWS infrastructure and Kubernetes
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with changing requirements
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
| Nice to Haves
  • Experience with Celery, Django admin sites, integrating with smart contracts
  • Familiarity with crypto and related infrastructure, specifically EVM
  • Experience with continuous integration and delivery processes
  • Contributions to open-source projects
  • Understanding of energy markets and renewable energy systems
