SPAN
Senior Software Engineer
SPAN, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Our Mission
SPAN develops products that accelerate the rapid adoption of renewable energy in the home. The flagship SPAN Smart Panel is the first true evolution for the traditional home electric panel, harnessing enhanced technology for metering, monitoring, and control. An expanded product suite of intelligent, integrated solutions radically lowers the cost and complexity of energy upgrades–including solar, batteries and EVs–empowering homeowners to be active, resilient and informed players in the energy market. As a Software Engineer you will play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our products through a combination of automated and manual testing methodologies. This is a high impact role that will work closely with SPAN’s internal Software, Device Software, Hardware Engineering, Systems and QA teams. The Role
As a Software Engineer you will be expected to: Develop and maintain automation framework, driver library and consumer facing dashboards. Support DSW with HITL testing, Reliability, QA and Systems testing. Document defects, issues, and enhancement requests clearly and concisely. Participate in requirements review and systems engineering planning to determine high-leverage opportunities for automation. Work with the firmware team to ensure that engineering SDKs to the hardware have required capabilities for automated tests (e.g., structured log capture). Work with the firmware, systems and hardware teams to efficiently triage issues. Commission, stand up, and maintain a worker pool of hardware test cells (‘device under test’) for DVT and production hardware. Worker pool capacity planning and commissioning of new test cells as usage and wait time increases. Ensure reliable on-premise workflow scheduling and orchestration of test sequences on hardware, and the integration of these workflows to engineering CI/CD systems. Specify test scenarios and acceptance criteria, and ensure traceability with external requirements management tools (Jama). Store raw log data to external object storage (S3), and structured test result data to Postgres (Currently done with Chronos). Report web dashboards that provide clarity around pass/fail criteria for software releases, as well as other leading, non-deterministic reliability indicators (e.g., ‘crashiness’). Ensure that these dashboards surface critical failing cases to the engineering team and that underlying issues can be efficiently identified. Monitor both physical test cell and web infrastructure uptime, capacity and reliability. Identify areas for process improvement and actively contribute to enhancing software development and testing practices pertaining to automation. About You
Required Qualifications Proven experience as a Software Engineer. Proficiency building reliable and maintainable tools and services in Python. Proficiency in one of SPAN’s coding languages: Python, JavaScript and frameworks such as ReactJS, React Native, Detox (or Appium), and Kotlin. Strong knowledge of software testing methodologies, test case design and automated testing. Experience with CI/CD tools and Github (i.e., CircleCI, Docker). Effective communication and collaboration skills. Ability to work independently and as part of a team. Comfort building and working in greenfield automated testing frameworks and infrastructure. Bonus Qualifications Experience working in a startup environment. Experience with or preference for a rapid or continuous release cadence. Familiarity with Agile/Scrum development processes. Experience with GraphQL or GRPC, RDBMS/SQL, S3 and AWS. Experience working in the Renewable Energy industry. The U.S. base salary range for this position is $111,000 - $175,000 plus benefits, equity and variable compensation for Sales-related roles. This range represents SPAN’s good faith estimate of competitively-priced salary for the role based on national, real-time industry data from companies of a similar growth stage. This range reflects minimum and maximum new hire salaries for the role in San Francisco county. Within the range, individual pay is determined by location and individual factors including relevant skills, experience and education or training. This range correlates to the relative level of the candidate we believe we need for the role and may require an adjustment for candidates of a different level.
