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.
