Senior Software Engineer - Full Stack

About Us

The future of transportation is electric, and our software solves the most critical emerging grid integration challenges to ensure that the impending energy transition is clean, equitable, and resilient. Our enterprise solutions help the grid absorb the coming electrification wave with ease. Utilizing modern, cloud-native platform architecture and robust systems optimization, WeaveGrid’s software is built from the ground up to tackle the most critical network challenges while meeting the stringent regulatory, security, and reliability requirements of the utility industry.

About The Role

At WeaveGrid, we are working to accelerate the electrification of transportation and the decarbonization of the electric grid.  Our SaaS products monitor and manage the charging of electric vehicles on behalf of electric utilities to serve the needs of drivers and the health of the electric grid. 

We are looking for a strong senior full stack engineer to help us reduce the cost of deploying our SaaS solutions to our different utility, regulator, and automaker clients as well as expand our platform to meet those clients’ growing needs around EV management.  No previous experience in the energy sector is required.

In this role, we will ask you to:

• Design, develop, and evolve WeaveGrid’s data systems and products key to delivering our signature managed charging programs, ensuring that all features are fully manageable by non-software engineers upon completion.


• Contribute to high-impact projects aligned with the company's strategic roadmap while also delivering client-focused programs that ensure our SaaS platform meets the needs of clients in their highly regulated environment.


• Design and co-develop integrations and APIs in partnership with electric utility clients.


• Provide technical leadership and hands-on implementation to maintain and enhance the reliability, robustness, and maintainability of our complex distributed system, ensuring that our core product continues to scale effectively.


• Work closely with other engineers and product stakeholders to extend our product capabilities and/or improve reliability, data quality, effectiveness, and scalability of existing offerings. 


• Work productively with our AWS-based cloud production environment e.g. rollouts & use Containers, Kubernetes, AWS, GitHub, Jira/Confluence, and CircleCI in our development process.


• Develop new features and system architecture on the backend of the Weavegrid stack: python+graphQL+react+mariadb+k8s+aws.


• Special projects and other duties as designated by your manager or assigned designee.
