Charge Robotics | Senior Software Engineer (Full-Stack) | Full-time | Onsite / Hybrid | SF Bay Area

Hi HN! We’re a YC-backed startup building robots that build large-scale solar farms. We just got back from the first commercial deployment of our system on a real-world solar construction site.

Check out a video of our system here! https://youtu.be/ZZ2fP1Y5Z2E

It turns out that construction companies literally can't build solar fast enough, so what we're doing is a crucial part of switching the grid over to renewable generation. We're looking to bring another talented full-stack software engineer onto our small team.

You’ll be a key contributor, helping bring our next generation of mobile solar factories to life. Your work will involve architecting, developing, and maintaining high-quality code and documentation for a web application that controls our fleet of fully-automated factories

Come work with us if you love:

* Greenfield web application development

* Making a positive climate impact through your work

* Hacking on massive construction equipment!

This has been my experience too having been a long time in the SRE niche, and I think it's a factor of a couple of things: the market being over-saturated both from the huge numbers of layoffs happening in the recent past and the hangers-on/bootcamp attendees expecting outsized comp with little experience so postings get absolutely flooded with applicants. I spoke with a hiring manager just within the last few weeks and they said for a senior-ish position, they received almost 1000 CVs. Were they all qualified? Who knows, it seems like it would be almost impossible to find the true gems in a pile of shit like that.

A lot of these companies also seem to be reaching beyond their grasp as well. I don't think a lot of them necessarily have the vision, nor the wisdom on their staff to recognize a well-rounded background, especially if there isn't the blaring siren of a FAANG on someone's resume. They're simply not equipped to dig in. It's probably also a matter of raw number of years, they're afraid that if you join, you'll get bored then they'll be back to square one (been there).

Rectangle | Software engineer | Full-time | Chicago USA | Onsite | https://rectanglehq.com

The global supply chain has a collaboration problem. It's a mess of TMSs, ERPs, WhatsApp, emails, and spreadsheets. For the last 50 years, it's been solved with brittle EDI integrations to bridge walled gardens. We're taking a different approach. We aim to reshape how the supply chain collaborates and as a result redefine how trillions of dollars of goods get moved around the world.

We’re a small product team who have worked on anything from foundational technology at Flexport, self-driving cars, to core AI experiences and products at Google. We’re looking to bring a high level of craft to an industry that runs on incredibly outdated software.
