Role
Who you are
- While we’re looking for talented and driven individuals our desire is to build a champion team, not a team of champions
- We’re full-stack-ish; while it’s impossible for everyone to excel across every layer of the stack we value people who can chip in wherever they’re needed
- We want engineers who are as comfortable communicating with people as they are with their code
- At Amber, we want to hire self-starters who are eager to learn, and are comfortable working in a changing environment
- You have a positive mindset: equal parts curious, collaborative, and can-do
- Between 3 and 5 years of commercial development experience in either Web or Mobile environments
- Commercial experience with the specific technologies in our stack is a strong plus but not a hard requirement
- Experience with languages sharing features with Typescript is also a plus (such as JavaScript, C#, Go, or similar)
- We favour generalists who can be flexible across the stack, both frontend and backend
- Strong verbal and written communications skills in English at a proficiency of C1/C2 level at a minimum
- Additional language skills, particularly in European languages, are a bonus and may support broader team and customer engagement
What the job involves
- We are currently hiring for a Full Stack Software Engineer
- The Amber Electric product team develops and supports:
- Home automation integrations (to batteries, hot water systems and pool pumps, with EVs coming soon) that control electricity usage in response to pricing and renewable availability
- Mobile & Web apps for customers to monitor and manage their energy usage
- A pricing and billing engine for real time energy pricing
- The tech stack is React Native mobile app, some React web frontends, and a Serverless Lambda backend on AWS. We’re using Typescript top to bottom, and Apollo GraphQL sits in the middle. We keep our data in DynamoDB, Postgres, and Snowflake, using one or the other as best suits a particular workload
- You'll write and maintain high quality program code across the stack in the areas of your specialty
- Flexibly contribute outside your specialty in other areas of the stack supporting your team when they need it
- Work collaboratively with your peers in product and across the wider company to ensure you're always shipping the right thing the right way at the right time
- Research, consult, analyse, and evaluate our system requirements
- Test, debug, diagnose, and correct errors in our tech stack according to our operational specifications
- Support the app across the whole lifecycle from idea through to production
- The role will see you working directly with external clients while collaborating across internal teams, including leadership, product, design, and engineering to deliver impactful solutions
- Amber's flexible approach allows you to shape your schedule, but you will need to be available 2 or 3 days a week during our core collaboration hours of 7am - 10am London time
- We're establishing a UK co-working hub that you'll visit during your first 2 weeks of onboarding and approximately every 2 months thereafter for team collaboration
- We’re full-stack-ish; while it’s impossible for everyone to excel across every layer of the stack we value people who can chip in wherever they’re needed
Application process
- A screening interview with our talent team
- A take-home technical challenge that should take no longer than four hours
- A follow up interview with two members of the engineering team
- A culture interview with two members of the engineering leadership team
- Our designated core collaboration hours are from 7:00 AM TO 10:00 AM (BST). Accordingly, initial screening meetings will be scheduled within this timeframe
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Amber Electric is a Melbourne-based energy company helping Aussies take control of their power use. Instead of just selling power like traditional retailers, Amber gives customers access to real-time wholesale electricity prices and smart tools to help them lower their bills.
It's making big moves too, having recently acquired Charge HQ, a Sydney-based EV charging app. This means that Amber customers with EVs can now charge up using more solar power and less from the grid. It's a big step, and one that shows Amber isn't just talking about a greener future, but helping to build it.
