Position Specific Description

NextEra Mobility software engineers collaborate with data scientists, product experts and business leaders to design, build, and maintain applications that model and operate electrified fleets. We work as a team: each of us taking their turn to lead, follow, teach, or learn as the occasion requires. You might be a good fit for this role if:  

• You are an exemplary teammate: always ready to help a colleague, express complex concepts clearly, listen to complicated explanations patiently, do unavoidable chores cheerfully, and leverage your attention effectively 
• You love shipping new code on a calm but steady cadence, seeing your own patches and those you have thoughtfully reviewed land each sprint 
• You have previous experience with data science pipelines, the transportation industry, or electricity systems  
• You have a passion for decarbonizing transportation and want a career that positively impacts millions of human beings 

• You can contribute on the front-end, back-end, or both 

As a front-end developer: 

• You have excellent modern JavaScript development skills: React, CSS, packaging, and automated testing 
• You have solid UI design skills and are an exceptional collaborator with users and product owners 
• You have a deep interest in information design and Canvas-based visualization frameworks for quantitative, geo-informational, and domain-specific data 

• You are happy to contribute across the stack, learning other skills as needed 

As a back-end developer: 

• You have excellent cloud software development skills: distributed system design, container orchestration, data engineering, and integrated testing 
• You will be very productive with our primary development toolkit: Python, SQL, HTTP (we use Flask), bash/POSIX, and container orchestration, and/or with our operations stack: GCP and Kubernetes, Bitbucket, CircleCI, etcetera 
• You are happy to contribute across the stack, learning new skills as needed 

Senior, Principal, and Staff engineers (title DOE) are servant leaders and force multipliers: 

• You bring new technical capabilities to the team and ensure their adoption in the code base and your colleagues’ skill sets 
• You have a deep understanding of our current tool chain and improve our use of it 
• You are a gracious mentor, as happy to see a junior colleague stretch themselves as you are to make your own contributions 
• You model technical excellence and professional camaraderie
