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’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace from the ground up. We want engineers who are as comfortable communicating with people as they are with their code
- You have a positive mindset: equal parts curious, collaborative, and can-do
- A minimum of 5 or more years of commercial software development experience in either Web or Mobile environments
- Past experience mentoring or leading software engineers
- Commercial experience with the specific technologies in our stack is a strong plus but not a hard requirement
- Experience in Typescriptis required, other languages such as Python, C#, & Goare a plus
- We favour generalists who can be flexible across the stack, but are particularly interested in engineers with deep skills and experience across both frontend and backend. It would be a bonus if you have skills in CDK (or any other infra-as-code platforms) & Postgres
- Strong verbal and written communication skills built on a foundation of empathy for your fellow humans is essential, with English 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
- Even if you don’t meet 100% of the requirements listed above, we still encourage you to apply
What the job involves
- We are currently hiring for a Senior Full Stack Engineer. Amber provides a great opportunity to apply your skills as an Engineer to help enable the uptake of renewable energy
- Our technology optimises thousands of batteries and other devices in the customers' homes, enabling them to time their usage to consume power at times of high renewable penetration (and cheap prices), and then export power back to the grid at critical times - letting them outbid energy generators and earn potentially >£50 in an afternoon
- 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 and Postgres, using one or the other as best suits a particular workload
- Make sustainable and high quality technical contributions across the stack in the areas of your speciality
- Flexibly contribute outside your speciality 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
- Mentor and support other members of the engineering team
- Support the app across the whole lifecycle from idea through to production
- Take high level ownership of technical design and project delivery
- 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
Application process
- Please include your resume and a cover letter and tell us:
- One specific way you could use your technical skills to improve a household's energy use under the Amber model
- Our process will generally be as follows:
- 1. A screening interview with our talent team
- 2. A take-home technical challenge that should take no longer than four hours
- 3. A follow-up technical interview with two members of the engineering team
- 4. A culture interview with two of our Engineering Managers
- 5. A final chat with one of the co-founders and the VP of Business Development
- We promise to be respectful of your time as an applicant while trying to be as thorough as possible in finding the right fit for our team
- Applications will be accepted only from candidates already based in UK, Ireland, or Germany, with full working rights
- Shortlisted candidates will be contacted promptly. All other applicants will also be notified of the outcome as soon as possible
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.
