The role involves integrating these systems and applying AI-driven efficiency.

Responsibilities

• Design and build Orenda's distributed energy resource (DER) project source-of-truth database from the ground up.
• Take ownership of Orenda's existing Salesforce and construction management deployments, and build out new features.
• Serve as the internal technical lead for Orenda's ERP implementation, working with a third-party firm to scope, oversee, and contribute to the buildout.
• Build and maintain integrations between systems to ensure data consistency and accuracy.
• Partner with business stakeholders to design data models and processes that scale as the company grows.
• Identify and prototype opportunities to apply AI within Orenda's business systems to automate routine work and boost team efficiency.
• Maintain clear documentation of all systems built, ensuring they are understandable and usable by the business and new hires.

Requirements

• 4+ years building on business-critical platforms (Salesforce, ERP systems, or comparable low-code applications), with hands-on ownership of configuration, data models, and integrations.
• 2+ years as a primary business system owner, accountable for roadmap, stakeholder communication, design decisions, and day-to-day operations.
• Hands-on Salesforce administration and development experience.
• Demonstrated experience designing relational data models from scratch and deploying in production.
• Proficiency in Python for scripting, integrations, and automation.
• Excellent communication skills: comfortable partnering with technical and non-technical stakeholders, enforcing requirements clarity, and documenting decisions.
• Strong process-oriented mindset: instinctively thinks about scalability and edge cases when designing systems.
• Experience building and maintaining integrations between business systems (APIs, webhooks, ETL/ELT, iPaaS tools).
• Bias toward scalable, repeatable design over one-off fixes.
• Relentlessly positive attitude, strong work ethic, and sense of humor.
