Are you ready to rise to the challenge of climate change with the team that will deliver? Form Energy is a U.S. technology and manufacturing company that is developing and commercializing pioneering energy storage technologies to enable the electric grid to run on 100% renewable energy, every day of the year.

Supported by leading investors such as Breakthrough Energy Ventures, ArcelorMittal, TPG Rise, MIT’s The Engine, and others, we share a common belief that low-cost, multi-day energy storage is the key to enable tomorrow’s zero carbon electric grid. Driven by our core values of humanity, excellence, and creativity, we are deeply motivated and inspired to create a better world. We need talented, hardworking individuals who share our goal of tackling the challenge of climate change. Do you want to work with us today to build a better tomorrow? 

Role Description
The Software Engineering team at Form builds innovative internal and customer-facing tools that touch every part of Form’s product and company. We’re a Python/React/AWS shop, and use a modern data stack including Snowflake and Dagster.

Form Energy’s iron-air battery storage technology is ready to leave the lab and be deployed in the field—the missing link is our ability to manufacture our battery systems at scale. To get there, we’re building factories for the 21st century, with software and data built in from the start. The Operations Software Engineering team will be responsible for the suite of cloud software products that safely and efficiently runs the factory floor, orchestrates the flow of inventory, enables data-driven process improvement, and more.

As the founding engineering manager of the Operations Software Engineering team, you’ll envision, grow, and guide a new team of software engineers to execute on this challenge. This is a unique opportunity to leverage and expand your software, operations, and leadership experience to make a direct impact on climate change as part of a fast-growing team.

This is a hybrid position that can be based from either our Berkeley, CA location or our Eighty Four, PA (Greater Pittsburgh Area) location.

We cover 100% of employee premiums and 80% of dependent premiums for medical, dental, and vision insurance for full time employees.
