Bright Fullstack Engineer - Job Description ☀️ About Bright: Bright is a
venture-backed startup building the solar operating system to power every home
across the world. Our platform allows homeowners and business owners to easily
adopt solar with no initial investment and save 20% or more on their
electricity bill. In doing so, we’re enabling rapid solar adoption and
pioneering a sustainable energy future. We’re looking for someone interested
in having an impact far beyond pixels on a screen, or rows in a database. We
believe global warming is one of the most important challenges in our
lifetime, and Bright provides a unique opportunity for you to use engineering
skills to make a serious impact. The process for homeowners and business
owners to adopt solar power is unnecessarily complicated, and the industry,
especially internationally, is young. 💼 About the position: This is an
incredibly unique opportunity as we’re growing very quickly as the market
leader but just getting around to hiring one of our first dedicated frontend
engineers. We’ve operated lean and this is a one-of-a-kind role for someone
that wants to be early but is looking for a low risk opportunity that will
certainly have an impact on the world. Today, Bright is installing 5 solar
installations every day all across Mexico with software acting as a
coordinator for all the parties involved. Similar to Airbnb, Uber, or OpenDoor
- software is our core strategy - and we apply it to almost every team - from
logistics, to finance, and customer success. With projects ranging from
marketing chat bots, to solar monitoring (IoT) integrations, to logistics
optimization - there is never a dull moment. 🥇 We’re looking for someone who:
Has 5+ years of professional frontend experience. You’ve led development in
large projects, and have built stuff from the ground up. Has professional
experience with React, and React hooks. Has the ability to create good-enough
user experiences without having a UX designer available. Has fluency in
technical English (Spanish is a bonus). Is pragmatic, can prioritize and say
no when needed. Has prior startup experience, and ideally, product intuition.
Is comfortable communicating and working with non-engineers (we work with
almost every team at Bright in some capacity - from interns up to the CEO).

the freedom to be brilliant. The opportunity to learn first-hand about the
distributed generation regulatory scheme in Mexico while being a part of a

benefits packages
