Job description

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
