Form Energy is a team of passionate people tackling the challenge of climate change through transformationally low cost energy storage.  Our team members are active learners who enjoy working on tough technology problems in massive markets and embody our values of humanity, excellence and creativity. The company is backed by a diverse set of committed investors and we have raised over $360M to date.

Role Description
The Software Engineering team at Form builds innovative internal tools that touch every part of Form’s product and company. There are four subteams: Tech Data accelerates hardware technology development via data engineering for battery and IoT data; Formware accelerates business development via grid modeling tools; Opsware accelerates company operations via apps for manufacturing and R&D; and Platform owns the data warehouse and compute infrastructure that underlie everything else. We’re a Python/React/AWS shop, and use a modern data stack including Snowflake and Dagster.

Form Energy’s approach to energy storage business development is uniquely data-driven—everything from product pricing to utility customer segmentation to asset sizing to regulatory filings are backed by industry-leading analytics and optimization. The Formware team is responsible for the suite of software products that makes these algorithmic capabilities standardized, scalable, interpretable, and trusted, all while keeping things flexible to support creative decision-making. As the engineering manager of this team, you’ll guide and grow a team of software engineers to execute on this challenge. This is a unique opportunity to leverage and expand your software, energy, and management experience to make a direct impact on climate change as part of a fast-growing team.

Form Energy, where possible, embraces a digital work environment and supports onsite, hybrid, and remote types of work with office locations in Somerville, MA (Greater Boston), Berkeley, CA (San Francisco Bay Area), and Eighty Four, PA (Greater Pittsburgh). #LI-DNI
