Ekotrope provides me with opportunities to grow my career both on the technical side, and on the people side. From my first day as an Software Engineering Intern, no part of our technology was off limits to me. As a Software Engineer II and a Team Lead, good communication is highly valued, and I receive constructive feedback on soft skills.

We're driving a cultural shift: enabling energy efficiency with our modeling and analytics insights. We’re reducing the lead time and effort required for designing energy-efficient buildings while integrating different industry segments including builders, energy raters, utility companies and building parts manufacturers.

We believe in a concept called fail-fast that allows us to try many different ideas quickly and cheaply. We are basically trying to fail through a set of conversations with clients and prospects, looking for early commitment and excitement. The bar to pass is pretty high, meaning that once we pass it - we’ve got something real and exciting.
