Job Description

Form Energy is a U.S. technology and manufacturing company that is developing and commercializing cost-effective multi-day energy storage systems to enable the global electricity system to run on 100% low-cost renewable energy, every day of the year. Driven by Form’s core values of humanity, excellence, and creativity, our team is deeply motivated and inspired to create a better world. We seek to transform the energy landscape and do our part in making the world better for all. We are supported by leading investors who share a common belief that low-cost, multi-day energy storage will be a key enabler of tomorrow’s zero carbon electric system.
Role DescriptionThe Software Engineering team at Form builds innovative internal tools that touch every part of Form’s product and company. There are four subteams: Tech Data accelerates hardware technology development via data engineering for battery and IoT data; Formware accelerates business development via grid modeling tools; Opsware accelerates company operations via apps for manufacturing and R&D; and Platform owns the data warehouse and compute infrastructure that underlie everything else. We’re a Python/React/AWS shop and use a modern data stack including Snowflake, dbt, and Dagster.
As a member of the Software Platform team, this role will play a critical part in developing and maintaining Form Energy’s central data store, a Snowflake data warehouse, which will be used across the organization to inform decision-making in R&D, business development, finance, manufacturing, supply chain, facilities, fleet management, and more. This role requires strong skills in SQL and version control, ideally together in an environment like dbt.

What You'll Do:

  • Be the analytics engineering lead at Form. This means managing the transformation layer—the T in ELT—of our data stack and serving as an internal expert and advocate for all things data warehouse and SQL
  • Collaborate with other members of the Software team to set a high standard for data modeling in our warehouse, including developing a style guide and requirements for testing and documentation
  • Build, review, and optimize data transformations. We have a growing number of contributors to our transformation codebase and you will work closely with them to ensure data models conform to the high standards we set
  • Work closely with other Software teams to ensure that data are consistent across sources upstream and the data warehouse. This will be in an environment where schema migrations are frequent for existing data sources and new sources are regularly introduced
  • Provide support to analysts and data scientists that may access our data warehouse using python, a statistical package, or BI tool
  • Help to build a strong data culture at Form
  • Act as a collaborative member of a distributed software engineering team

What You'll Bring:

  • Passion for our mission, sustainability, and fighting climate change
  • Minimum 5+ years of professional experience as an analytics engineer, data engineer,  data scientist, or other data professional
  • Fluency in SQL and extensive experience working with cloud data warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift
  • Solid understanding of git and version control principles
  • Experience using dbt, python, and Jinja desired but not required
  • Curiosity, creativity, and tenacity when it comes to problem solving
  • Background in renewable energy, energy storage, utilities, or a strong desire to learn
