Rockstar is recruiting for a clean energy finance company that is transforming how clean energy projects are financed. Since 2024, their tax credit transfer business has partnered with major corporations to unlock over $8 billion in clean energy investment, including some of the industry's largest transactions. Their compliance business is building disruptive software for developers to track operations and ensure regulatory compliance.
About the Company
The company has built a consistently profitable company, focused on building for the long term. They raised a small seed round of funding in 2023, and have since repaid their investors in full.

The company's laser focus on solving tough problems has resulted in repeat customers and strong profitability since 2024. They have worked hard to build a mission-driven company culture that values creativity, collaboration, excellence, and speed without sacrificing fun. Their talented team includes experienced leaders from SunEdison, SolarCity, Tesla, GoodLeap, and other clean energy companies; they are consistently amazed by what their 30+ person team of experts can accomplish. They look for curious, smart, and kind colleagues with an entrepreneurial streak (they have quite a few ex-entrepreneurs on their team).
