What is a Software Engineer at Omaha Public Power?
A Software Engineer at Omaha Public Power (OPPD) plays a critical role in modernizing and securing the technology infrastructure that powers communities across southeastern Nebraska. Unlike typical software companies, Omaha Public Power is a public utility company, which means its engineering efforts directly impact grid reliability, customer safety, and clean energy initiatives. Software engineers here build and maintain the digital backbone that supports energy distribution, customer experience portals, and enterprise integrations.
In this role, you will contribute to high-impact projects ranging from cloud modernization and API development to platform engineering and Salesforce architecture. The systems you design and support must be highly reliable, secure, and capable of handling complex integrations between legacy utility systems and modern cloud environments. By leveraging modern tech stacks like AWS, TypeScript, Java, and Salesforce, the engineering team ensures that both internal operations and customer-facing applications run seamlessly.
Working as a Software Engineer at Omaha Public Power offers a unique blend of mission-driven work and technical challenge. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams of developers, system architects, and business stakeholders to transition legacy infrastructure into highly scalable, cloud-native solutions. Your contributions will directly support the utility's commitment to delivering affordable, reliable, and environmentally sensitive energy services.
