We value engineers who bring broad technical skills and collaborative mindsets to solve meaningful challenges. You'll have significant ownership over your projects, working closely with cross-functional teams while receiving the opportunities and support needed to grow your career.
Our engineering culture prioritizes thoughtful, maintainable solutions over short-term fixes. We believe the best technical decisions balance velocity with sustainability, creating systems that scale with our team and mission.
In your first 3 months, you'll:
Lead the development of impactful features from concept to production, with support from your amazing engineering colleagues
Partner closely with Product, Design, and Climate Strategy teams to shape solutions together
Contribute to planning discussions where your voice and perspective will influence our technical direction
Learn our customers challenges and deliver meaningful solutions to aid in their climate sustainability efforts
Help shape our engineering practices to ensure we’re building a technically strong, inclusive and sustainable foundation
What you'll bring:
A mindful and caring approach to addressing customer needs through technology
Experience translating business requirements into well-architected systems
Comfort working across the stack (frontend in React+TS, backend in Go+Postgres, OpenAPI, and ideally some infrastructure experience with AWS/Terraform)
You actively experiment with AI tools to improve your productivity. For example, many of us are currently using Conductor to run 4 instances of Claude Code in parallel
A track record of delivering quality software from 0→1 in small, early team environments
An eye for design
Our commitment to you:
An inclusive culture where your voice will be actively sought and valued
Transparent career growth paths with regular feedback and development opportunities
Flexible work arrangements that respect your life outside of Gravity
Work that directly contributes to addressing climate change
Competitive salary, meaningful equity, comprehensive benefits, and flexible PTO
