You are an experienced software engineer who enjoys both building and leading, and who recognizes the importance of both technical and interpersonal skills in producing great software. You have worked on enterprise SaaS products before, in an industry or market where compliance and risk management are significant factors in the software development process.
You have operated in both technical leadership and managerial capacities, though possibly on small projects or teams. You may prefer one over the other, but you are comfortable in both capacities as the needs of the team evolve.
In terms of languages, you’ve probably been through at least a couple generations of frontend JavaScript evolution; you likely have some React exposure, and you may be an experienced React hand. You may not have a ton of Python under your belt, but you have enough familiarity with the language and its ecosystem to incorporate Python backend services and components into a full stack application (with support from seasoned Python developers).
- Significant experience developing enterprise SaaS applications for large customers in a regulated industry environment
- Comfort with basic software design decisions and architectural tradeoffs, including the evaluation and selection of programming frameworks, acquisition and integration of third-party libraries and services, and developer tool selection
- Strong background in modern web development and JavaScript, including the ability to contribute to key library and tooling decisions
- Some experience with React preferred
- Expertise with backend Python sufficient to perform full-stack application design
Culture and mission
Beyond your core skills and track record, you are someone who will expand the culture and cumulative wisdom of the team as a whole. This can take many forms - relevant past projects, hard-won perspective from personal history, an unusual or adjacent skillset, a motivating passion, and so on. We are whole individuals, not just functional role-fillers, and we value everything that you can bring to the team.
Finally, you should be strongly motivated by Weave Grid’s mission. Energy and transportation expertise are not necessary, but it is important that you are passionate about tackling the climate crisis head on, by improving societal and environmental health.
Compensation and location
We are looking to fill this position as soon as possible. Compensation will include competitive salary, equity, and benefits. Weave Grid is based in San Francisco but is open to considering remote candidates in the US for some roles.
