Remote Full Stack Engineer in Burnley

Amber is an entirely new way of thinking about buying, banking and selling energy where home energy technology works to put money back in customers’ pockets and accelerate the renewable energy transition. We’re an Australian headquartered company, where we are both an energy technology company and a utility providing energy directly to households and small businesses. In Australia, we’ve proven that the cheapest, fastest and most rewarding way to reach 100% renewables is to automate the growing wave of home batteries, EVs, and other smart energy devices.

Customers get direct access to the real-time electricity prices and the technology to shift energy usage to the times when cheaper renewables are available in the grid and export to the grid at times when the price they can be paid for it is highest. We are a clear market leader in energy automation in Australia, and are now partnering with utilities across Europe to bring our technology to European markets and consumers. We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and a great culture of people who love coming to work to build a better world.

At Amber, we believe that enabling a culture where everyone is set up to do the best work of their lives, and feels connected and supported, is one of the most important things we can do to ensure our long-term success. Want to help improve the environment by shifting the world’s energy usage towards renewables? We are currently hiring for a Full Stack Software Engineer. Amber provides a great opportunity to apply your skills as an Engineer to help enable the uptake of renewable energy.

• Home automation integrations (to batteries, hot water systems and pool pumps, with EVs coming soon) that control electricity usage in response to pricing and renewable availability
• Mobile & Web apps for customers to monitor and manage their energy usage
• A pricing and billing engine for real time energy pricing

The tech stack is React Native mobile app, some React web frontends, and a Serverless Lambda backend on AWS. We’re using Typescript top to bottom, and Apollo GraphQL sits in the middle.

We’re full-stack-ish; while it’s impossible for everyone to excel across every layer of the stack we value people who can chip in wherever they’re needed. We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace from the ground up.

• Between 3 and 5 years of commercial development experience in either Web or Mobile environments
• Commercial experience with the specific technologies in our stack is a strong plus
• Experience with languages sharing features with Typescript is also a plus (such as JavaScript, C#, Go, or similar)
• We favour generalists who can be flexible across the stack, both frontend and backend
• Strong verbal and written communication skills built on a foundation of empathy for your fellow humans is essential, with English proficiency of C1/C2 level at a minimum
• Additional language skills, particularly in European languages, are a bonus and may support broader team and customer engagement.
