Role Description
The Software Engineering team at Form builds innovative internal and customer-facing tools that touch every part of Form’s product and company. We’re a Python/React/AWS shop, and use a modern data stack including Snowflake and Dagster.
Form Energy’s iron-air battery storage technology is ready to leave the factory and be deployed in the field-the missing link is our ability to interact with and operate our battery systems in the field. To get there, we’re building software to commission our batteries, focusing on data correctness and efficiency from the start. The Plant Operations Software Engineering team will be responsible for the suite of software products that safely and efficiently deploy, run, and monitor our batteries in the field.
As one of the first software engineers on the Plant Operations Software Engineering team, you will help drive architectural designs as we define and buy/build our suite of software. You will work closely with stakeholders to identify needs and workflow to solve plant operation problems. This opportunity will give you a chance to work directly with the interface between hardware and software. You will have the opportunity to play an important role in how people will interact with our batteries. As the team grows, you will help sculpt a team and mentor junior engineers.
What You’ll Do:
- Work directly with battery system engineers to identify commissioning workflow
- Design technical solutions focusing on data correctness and efficiency to get large numbers of battery systems deployed around the world
- Drive the solutions with UX in mind
- Tackle ambiguous problems by identifying workflows that are missing and/or have gaps in data flow across company functions to architecting solutions with stakeholders
- Design technical solutions to complex problems involving the physical world and multiple software applications.
- Drive projects forward with hands-on implementation while collaborating with designers, product managers, data engineers, or platform engineer peers
- Build strong processes for designing, building, testing, deploying, and maintaining software
- Advocate for high-quality software engineering practices and lead by example
What You’ll Bring:
- 3-7 years of professional software engineering industry experience
- Strong understanding of networking and security
- Passion for our mission, leading you to be simultaneously eager to move on to the next opportunity to accelerate the team, and detail-oriented to deliver a high-quality product
- A pragmatic approach to problem-solving that blends good judgment, clear communication, dependable follow-through, creative use of resources, and joy in the process
- Excitement for learning about the following (or bonus points for experience!): batteries, power plants operations, analytics, hardware engineering, IoT
- Bonus: Proficiency in web or mobile application development that interfaces with embedded Linux systems, including maintaining apps in production
