Earlier quoted context omitted.

"deter employees from taking time off" How come? My understanding is - communicate with the team - know the release dates - be working in critical moments... Personally I would love to work 6 months a year or 3-4 days a week... To travel and to develop my side projects. Treating job as a way to pay bills in expensive city like London. Unless - my personal incentives are aligned with the company - very often it's not…

Your understanding of what unlimited vacation means is not correct. It means: "more vacation than most jobs, probably" -- let's say about 5-6 weeks with stray days here and there.

Well, that's what they want you to think it means. The reality is that it means something quite different.

But either way -- just by calling it "unlimited vacation", they're f-ing with you from the very start.

SparkMeter | Infrastructure Engineer (Automation Focus) | Waltham, MA | Full-time, ONSITE with flexible work location and schedule | http://www.sparkmeter.io/en/jobs/infrastructureengineeraf/

Come join SparkMeter’s Systems team and help increase electricity access in developing countries. As an Infrastructure Engineer with an automation focus, you’ll build the tools and architecture that will allow us to expand our affordable smart metering systems to new microgrid and central grid utilities.

At SparkMeter, we believe in embracing automation, and our team takes every opportunity to reduce manual work or remove workarounds using tools like Fabric, Chef, and Docker. You’ll officially own automation for the Systems team, creating new tools and taking over the maintenance of existing tools that others across the organization will use every day. This will include improving automation for our software release process, automating the (now largely manual) provisioning of the Linux base stations at the core of our smart metering system, and generally building and maintaining the tools that help make it easy for us to efficiently manage a growing herd of servers and devices.

SparkMeter’s core value is opportunity: the opportunity for underserved communities to achieve great things. That's why our mission is to increase access to electricity in underserved communities - it is electricity and the services derived from it that unlock and create those opportunities. This value is reflected in our hiring ethos: we believe that the strongest teams have diverse backgrounds. Our approach to hiring has been validated by academic and industry studies that show that workforce diversity improves team and business performance. (It has also been validated by the quality of the team we’ve assembled so far!) We encourage applications from members of groups currently underrepresented in software engineering.

SparkMeter | Web Engineer (Backend Focus) | Waltham, MA | Full-time, ONSITE with flexible work location and schedule | http://www.sparkmeter.io/en/jobs/webengineerbf/

Come join SparkMeter’s software team and help increase electricity access in developing countries. As a Web Engineer, you will help build the web application our utility customers use to set up and operate our affordable smart metering systems. Your work will be high impact: the electrification your code will help enable is not an incremental improvement, it is a fundamental change in the way real people live, work, go to school, eat, and relax.

Our smart metering solution consists of hardware electricity grid sensors that communicate with each other and their base stations wirelessly over a range of up to several kilometers. Our customers use a suite of software called SparkApp to remotely monitor usage and load, adjust tariffs (electricity rates), and more. SparkApp consists of two primary Python (Flask) web applications: GroundBolt, running locally on the base station, and ThunderCloud, running remotely in the cloud. SparkApp is a key differentiator for our solution: other smart meters and similar products on the market don’t have anything like it.

In this role you'll focus primarily on new feature development. You'll work closely with Johan, our software engineer, and Lawrence, our frontend-focused web engineer, to create new features like a utility customer onboarding wizard, data visualizations, operator alerts, and more.

At SparkMeter, our core value is opportunity: the opportunity for underserved communities to achieve great things. That's why our mission is to increase access to electricity in underserved communities - it is electricity and the services derived from it that unlock and create those opportunities. This value is reflected in our hiring ethos: we believe that the strongest teams have diverse backgrounds. Our approach to hiring has been validated by academic and industry studies that show that workforce diversity improves team and business performance. (It has also been validated by the quality of the team we’ve assembled so far!) We encourage applications from members of groups currently underrepresented in software engineering.
