Overview

Powertown is hiring a Software Engineer to maintain the brain of our company. We call it BESS - a centralized platform for executing Powertown’s process. This is the command center for a battery storage company: the place where projects, people, documents, decisions, and execution come together. We want someone who can build internal tools that make a serious team move faster.

What you'll do

  • Execute the product roadmap for internal tooling and member experience portals for Powertown

  • Design the hidden logic that makes the product feel simple

  • Create systems that make information easier to find, trust, and act on

  • Own the feature space for Powertown’s site prospecting process

Preferred majors

Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or a similarly rigorous technical field.

Ideal candidate

  • You are a product-minded builder with real engineering depth and strong UI/UX intuition

  • You can sit with an ambiguous problem, reduce it to its core, and build the first version before most people finish debating the requirements

  • You have taste. You know when a workflow is clunky. You know when a data model will age badly. You know when a product is almost useful but not quite there yet

Preferred qualifications

  • Evidence of exceptional building ability: shipped products, startup work, serious side projects, open-source contributions, research systems, internal tools, or technically ambitious independent work

  • Experience building products where workflow, permissions, data quality, and usability matter

  • Exceptional ability exemplified through personal projects
