Full Stack Engineer

We’re on the hunt for a phenomenal full-stack developer who’s pumped to help drive the transition away from fossil fuel heating in homes.🌲 About SpruceWe need to replace every gas and oil boiler with a heat pump if we’re to reach Net Zero by 2050. But the current installation process is slow, manual, and inefficient; creating a shortage of installers, driving up costs, and frustrating homeowners.We're fixing this. We’re building an operating system for heat pump installers, helping to speed up their inefficient processes, boosting their profitability, and ultimately attracting new installers to the market.We’re currently a team of 6, split between London and Bristol. We like to spend at least 1 day each week working together in-person.🥖 The RoleWe’ve made exceptionally quick progress over the past few months, but we’re only just scratching the surface of the opportunity ahead. Now that we’ve secured more funding, we’re building out the team so we can develop more, faster.You’ll work alongside Steph, Nick, and Ilya to build the various tools that make up the installer OS. These include an automated heat pump estimator, a survey app to speedily collect and process data from people’s homes, and a tool to create optimally efficient designs for each property.You’ll be exposed to a wide variety of problem spaces including:Designing hydronic systems and modelling building heat lossBuilding a 2D and 3D floorplan creator, perhaps with the help of LiDAR and computer visionScraping and large-scale data consolidation to provide country-wide datasetsOffline-first and PWA applications (potentially extending to native apps)Integrating with hardware such as bluetooth laser measures, sensors, and heat pump monitoring systems🥞 Tech Stack Docker, Docker ComposePostGIS, Atlas migrationsPython, FastAPI & SQL AlchemyReact, Typescript, Konva, Tailwind🫵 About You You’ll have at least 3 years development experience and will have good understanding of:React and Typescript (Python a bonus!)Relational database design and SQLREST APIsOn top of that you’ll ideally be:Product-minded – you want to properly understand the problem you’re solving and the people you’re solving it for.
