Palmetto operates a dual-channel clean energy platform serving homeowners and installers at scale. The tech stack is application-focused (React, Node.js, MongoDB, NestJS) rather than data-infrastructure heavy, supported by Salesforce and NetSuite for CRM and back-office operations. Hiring velocity is accelerating across finance, support, and ops—not engineering—while active projects signal internal pain: partner onboarding friction, finance program scaling bottlenecks, and AI-assisted support quality issues. The leadership gap (one C-level, two VPs) paired with a 13-person finance hiring push suggests the company is transitioning from growth-at-all-costs to operational rigor.
