OverviewAt Copper, we’re reinventing home appliances for an electrified future. Our flagship Charlie stove pairs high-performance induction with integrated energy storage to make the switch from fossil fuels a no-brainer. We’re a small, fast, collaborative team that ships, learns, and iterates quickly.As a Software Engineer, you’ll help build and scale the software systems that connect our appliances, cloud infrastructure, and customer-facing applications. You’ll work across cloud services, data pipelines, mobile and web applications, and the interfaces that tie our software to real hardware in people’s homes.This is a high-impact, hands-on role with end-to-end ownership. You’ll partner closely with a small, cross-functional team, while shipping mission-critical features that support customers, manufacturing, operations, and Copper’s broader climate mission. We’re looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, drives clarity across boundaries, and can scale both systems and engineering practices as the company grows. .We value diversity and are committed to building a team that reflects a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. We’re especially focused on fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone can contribute to our shared mission.This is a full-time position and it is expected to be in-office 4 days per week with 1 day flexible for in-office or remote work.

We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.About UsCopper's vision is a future where every home is electrified with abundant clean energy. Our mission is to make decarbonization accessible to everyone by selling electric home appliances that enrich their daily lives. We're reducing the cost of electrification by integrating batteries into household appliances, starting with the stove. Our work has been funded by the Department of Energy, in an effort to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and increase energy resilience with products that are high-performance, safe, intuitive, and robust. As we build our team and pursue our mission, we do it with a strong sense of our core values because it's not just what you do, it's how you do it. You'll see this in high-level decisions, how we run meetings, our day-to-day work, hiring, and our interactions with customers and the broader community. We intend to have a massive impact on our team, our neighborhood, and the world.&nbsp;

We are a team of entrepreneurs, inventors, and activists who are committed to mitigating climate change. We know there are great technologies, like induction stoves and heat pumps, which can immediately make people's lives better, while also making a big difference on climate change. So we created Channing St. Copper Co. to get these technologies in more homes as quickly as possible.
