Description
The Company
We are a startup based in the SOMA neighbourhood of San Francisco. We are a small, diverse team of creative thinkers. We value open communication, teamwork, and a make-it-happen attitude – no job is too big or too small. We strive to make a change by imagining what the future could be and building a product to complete that vision. We are looking to grow our team with talented people who are on the same mission to shape the future of energy.
Impacting the future as a small, agile team means putting in a lot of hard work and elbow grease so we work to make sure you are happy, healthy, and you look forward to coming to work. Working here, you can expect:
- Competitive compensation at a well-funded venture-backed company
- Comprehensive benefits including a choice of medical plans: dental, vision, life and disability insurance
- A sunny, airy office located close to BART and Caltrain
- Regular team lunches, brown bag learning opportunities, board games nights, and other opportunities to connect with our awesome team – in-person and now virtually
- Generous equity grants at a quickly-growing startup
- Flexible hours and vacation time – we simultaneously work hard and make space for the important stuff
- To be a part of a team and culture that is hard-working, has a good sense of humour, works collaboratively, and is just a little nerdy
We embrace diversity and equal opportunity in a serious way. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.
