Job description

About Jetson

Jetson is on a mission to accelerate the transition of 100M homes across North America away from burning fossil fuels to sustainable energy use. Here at Jetson, we believe in a future that is 100% electric and 100% better.

Homes are one of the largest sources of carbon emissions, which can be dramatically reduced by converting to heat pumps, however, adoption lags due to high cost and friction in the retrofit process today. Solving one layer of the value chain won’t move the needle on adoption. Mass adoption will come when it becomes a no-brainer for homeowners to transition. That is why Jetson is building the first fully vertically integrated home electrification company. Jetson will make it simple, transparent and affordable for everyone to get a heat pump.

Who You Are

• Someone who thrives in ambiguity. Early-stage companies don’t hand you a spec and walk away. You’re comfortable defining problems as much as solving them, and you’ve learned to make good decisions with incomplete information.
• A product-minded engineer. You care about what you’re building, not just how it’s built. You think about the user experience, ask questions about the "why," and take pride in shipping features that customers actually love. You’re not satisfied when the code works; you’re satisfied when the product works.
• An empathetic collaborator. You enjoy working with designers on interaction details, firmware engineers on device behavior, data teams on optimization logic, customer support on real-world issues, and more. You communicate clearly across these boundaries, and you remember that we all succeed or fail together.

What We Need

• End-to-end ownership of user-facing product features. Thermostat control, schedules, energy optimization, air quality tracking, and more—from mobile app to backend to device integration. You’ll own features from concept through production, not just tickets in a sprint.
• Full-stack fluency. Comfort building across mobile (React Native or native iOS/Android) and backend systems. You don’t need to be an expert in everything, but you can work across the stack and learn what you don’t know.
• API and system design sense. You’ll design interfaces between mobile apps, backend services, and IoT devices. Experience thinking through data models, state management, and the edge cases that emerge when software meets the physical world.
• Engineering rigour. Tests, code review, and CI/CD are table stakes—practices which are often treated as optional in firmware. Not at Jetson.
• Comfort with on-call responsibility. Our customers rely on our systems to heat & cool their homes. When production issues arise, we need engineers who can quickly diagnose, resolve, and ensure they don’t happen again.

How You Will Grow

• Develop expertise in software that controls the physical world. Most product engineering is purely digital. At Jetson, your code affects real devices in real homes—thermostats, heat pumps, EV chargers. You’ll learn to build software that bridges the gap between pixels and physics.
• See the full picture, and influence it. Product engineering at Jetson touches mobile, backend, IoT, energy markets, and end customers. You’ll gain context that’s rare for product engineers, with the opportunity to expand into adjacent areas if you’re interested.
• Shape how we build. We’re a small team building our practices as we go. You’ll help shape our firmware architecture, tooling, and standards, including how we use AI to move faster than ever.
