Description:
If you are interested in applying for this job, please make sure you meet the following requirements as listed below.Our mission (share it!):
Optiwatt’s mission is to reverse global warming through the advancement of smart device adoption. We started by making electric vehicle ownership cheaper, simpler, and more impactful, by building North America's largest network of connected and intelligent cars to balance the electric grid. Next, we expanded into smart thermostats, to revolutionize HVAC intelligence and help put dollars to degrees. But we are still just getting started, as there are a myriad of devices within today's increasingly connected home, and utilities are feeling the stress of rapid electrification across industries. Our investors are some of the most active impact investing firms out there, and we hold ourselves accountable to each other and the future generations of this planet. Do you want to straddle the intersection of technology and purpose on our growth trajectory to 1,000,000 connected homes and beyond? We hope so.Our culture (thrive in it!):

We work hard and our laid-back culture is strong. It is a flat, collaborative organization, I pitch directly to the CEO and feel heard, even when it's outside my specialty." - Nina"We love what we do, which makes it feel more like a fun weekend project than work. And after all the features have been deployed, we sometimes disc golf." - Danny"The culture is fun, full of hope and excitement. The office is always full of jokes and discussion about how we can better ourselves and the electric grid." - NesYour impact (grow it!):
