Are you still hiring in Birmingham?

We're looking in London for this role, but we'll not turn people away if they're based in a different city. Get in touch anyway!

Tesla Motors, Stationary Storage Group, Palo Alto

Our Stationary Storage product offers battery storage systems that can attach to power grids, commercial areas, or residential systems. As the need for and the available sources of energy increases, efficient and smart energy storage is quickly becoming the only solution for meeting these demands.

We are have several open positions for firmware and embedded software within this team. Finding the right person for the group and then defining a role for their skillset is more important to us than listing several generic job descriptions. If you are passionate about this field and technology, feel free to contact us.

Below are some specific skills and experience that we know we will need (we do not expect all of these in the same candidate). I've clustered them into two groups of skills, but we'd be happy to have a candidate with a blend from both clusters.

Embedded Firmware

-----------------

- Embedded C

- Realtime operating systems and applications

- Low-level embedded experience with linkers, bootloaders, drivers

- CAN bus

- Embedded TCP/IP (driver level)

- Experience with power electronics

- Familiarity with electronics, schematics, PCBs (can use an oscope)

- Design for safety critical systems

- State machines

Embedded Linux

--------------

- Embedded linux application deployment

- Protocol buffers

- Golang

- Zigbee

- Industrial or utility SCADA protocols like modbus and DNP3

- Experience with power electronics or the energy industry

- General networking: ppp, ssh, vpn, iptables

- Code generation + DSLs

You should be interested in, excited about, or experienced with the Energy Industry to apply for this position. Our team is a small part of the company but we are working on becoming a larger part. These positions will have a significant impact on the design and behaviors of our next generation Stationary Storage products.

At this time, we are not looking for interns or people working remotely.

Please email tcasebolt@teslamotors.com for more information.

If you are interested in other positions at the Tesla (for example working on vehicles), it is most helpful if you have a position in mind that you are interested in and I can forward your info on to the right people. For other positions, please see http://www.teslamotors.com/careers

We’re a YC company building financial services tools. We're already cash-flow positive, and laptops, and office snacks, and etc. and so forth. and general good things. Here's what's awesome: we have non-technical customers paying us for an online tool. Everyday, our clients call and email to say that we're making them happy. And that feels great.

But there's one problem: parts of our product are a little bit ugly and a little bit confusing. We're rapidly adding new features, and we're quickly outpacing our design capabilities. In short, it’s time to hire a UX/UI designer.

Our clients use our product for hours at a time. This is their tool for getting their jobs done. It is their workflow. We want it to beautiful and intuitive. It should be easy for a new client to learn, while at the same time, it should make power users feel like they’re flying through their day.

You must have experience with The Struggle of Application Design. And frankly, you should enjoy this struggle, because it’s hard to get things right, but really rewarding when you do.

What would your first day on the job be like? Well, we’ve got a product live right now that processes several hundred orders per day. You now own the design and you will be responsible for improving it. Changes could be simple, like, ‘make this button blue’ or it could be more elaborate like, ‘add tooltips and a new customer tutorial,’ or maybe you might want to redesign aspects of the site from scratch. Ideally, within a couple weeks, clients should be telling us that they’ve noticed small, nice design improvements.

List of Responsibilities: - Design - Usability and Utility are more important (at the moment) than purely visual appeal. As a team, we frequently meet with our clients to learn how they’re using the product. A good candidate for this role will be able to speak to users and feel out their feelings.

List of Skills: - UI/UX design experience - Responsive design experience (a lot of our clients access our site on their phones) - HTML/CSS is great. At the moment, we’re using a lot of Bootstrap. Pixel perfect designs are not (yet) crucial; usability is paramount.

We’re in San Francisco on a trolley-filled street in Union Square. We’re small (3 in-office employees) and we’re still building a culture. If you have ideas for how to build a blissed-out company, we’re all ears. Thinking of moving to San Francisco, but not yet ready to commit? Talk to us.

Send an email to fintechw14@gmail.com telling us about yourself. Include a resume and a portfolio if possible.

We're building technology to make it easy for non-technical people to make multimedia-enhanced business messaging.

We've got our foot in the door at several enterprise companies, and have closed a few larger deals. Our product is evolving -- there's a lot still to be imagined and built, in addition to the clear stepping stones to bigger sales with new enterprise clients.

We're looking to bring on our first engineering hire. We use Python+Pyramids as our framework, with a great deal of javascript including backbone.js and jQuery. Our persistence layer includes mysql and elastic search on top of AWS.

We're hiring experienced developers at either full-stack or front-end positions. We are passionate about making good software, and bringing an experience to our users that they love. If you think you can help us build that, apply via email at engineering+hn(at)zoomforth(dot)com Check us out at https://zoomforth.com/about.

What can we offer?

A competitive salary, full medical coverage, a flexible environment where we actually care about not burning people out, and a commitment from us to help you reach the top of your game, whatever that means for you.
