Powertown
About the role
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

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
