##### Job Description :
GBatteries was founded eight years ago to tackle one of the world’s most
pressing issues: the transition to a cleaner future through electrification.
We are pioneering battery technology which enables ultra-fast charging of Li-
ion batteries without compromising battery life — and without changing the
battery’s chemistry or manufacturing process. Ultimately, our mission is to
accelerate the mass adoption of electric vehicles.
We are working on some of the biggest challenges in energy storage, and are
looking for the right people to join us as we develop our technology and
continue to scale.
#####
**THE OPPORTUNITY AND THE ROLE**
As a Full Stack Developer on our Software Development team, you’ll be
responsible for spearheading the development on core web applications tailored
for our next generation battery test facilities to enable customers to cycle
battery cells at scale. In our small but growing engineering organization,
you’ll not only be developing and shipping new features but also designing
core aspects of GBatteries’ testing and data analysis product.
You'll work collaboratively with our Data Science team to deploy machine
learning models into a production environment, and with our Firmware team to
collect and warehouse high speed data from embedded devices. You’ll become
familiar with all parts of our stack, and be responsible for projects covering
all aspects of the software development life cycle. You will exercise judgment
in making trade-offs between design and feasibility. As a developer on our
close-knit, cross-functional team, you’ll be an active voice in shaping our
products.
#####
**THE TEAM**
You’ll join a small but growing software team where everyone—including you—is
striving to constantly improve their knowledge of infrastructure, systems, and
cares about creating dependable products. While we are still growing and have
plenty to do, we are incredibility supportive of each other and pitch in to
support our peers when problems arise.
##### **THE ENGINEERING CULTURE**
* Autonomy: There's no red tape on what technology frameworks you can use, or what language you should be coding in. We believe in using the best tool(s) for the job, and learning any new ones along the way.
* Scope: You won't be adding small features to a monolithic codebase; you will be building entire products from start to finish. Your team members will recognize you for the products you build and the impact these products have on their workflow. You will have the opportunity to identify the business needs for a particular product, work through the development life cycle, and interact with your customers directly.
* Interesting Problems: Much of what we do is in uncharted territories. As a result, we are often posed with interesting and challenging engineering problems, which will encourage you to prototype, iterate, and innovate. It's part of the company culture to encourage crazy ideas, and celebrate failures as learning opportunities. Many of the design problems you will encounter won't have answers on Google or Stack Overflow, they will encourage you to come up with unique approaches and strengthen your design thinking.
* Growth: Working at a start-up is a great way to supercharge your skillset, and accelerate your learning. You will be put in a fast-paced environment where you're always working at the bleeding edge of technology. Not only will you become a better developer, you will also be given the opportunity to grow within the company as we scale.
