What will you do?

As one of Sealed’s first full-time software engineers, you will have a unique opportunity to build world-class software for a Series B, Clean-tech, company. You will work with a world-class team of product and engineering leaders to develop on top of a proven service-oriented architecture (GCP / Java). We are creating exciting applications that make it easy for homes to reduce energy waste, eliminate carbon emissions, and fully electrify. The software you create will allow Sealed to scale to millions of homes.

Your north star is creating a customer experience that can design and deliver a clean home renovation project with minimum human interaction. In order to meet this challenge, you will work closely with product managers, designers, and other business stakeholders to prioritize development and determine the best strategies to maximize business value. You will work in an agile environment, creating sprints based on business and technical infrastructure needs.

You build trust with your team through active listening and proactive communication.

Most importantly, by working diligently and collaboratively, you create results. Your applications move metrics, delight customers, and improve the quality of homes and the environment.

If you need a nudge, this is it. We recognize that some people are less likely to apply for jobs when they don’t meet all of the requirements. But here’s the reality: Rarely do candidates fulfill 100% of the requirements. You have value to offer yet maybe not the confidence to recognize it. Take a chance and apply!
