About The Position

Jetson is on a mission to accelerate the transition of 100 million homes across North America away from fossil fuels toward sustainable energy use. We believe in a future that is 100% electric and 100% better. Homes are one of the largest sources of carbon emissions, yet adoption of solutions like heat pumps remains slow due to cost and complexity. Jetson is solving this by building the first fully vertically integrated home electrification company — making clean energy simple, transparent, and affordable. We rely heavily on technology, automation, and data to scale this impact. At Jetson, we value people who are excellent at their craft, curious about new tools (including AI), and motivated to continuously improve how work gets done.

Requirements

Someone who thrives in ambiguity. Early-stage companies don’t hand you a spec and walk away. You’re comfortable defining problems as much as solving them, and you’ve learned to make good decisions with incomplete information.
A product-minded engineer. You care about what you're building, not just how it's built. You think about the user experience, ask questions about the "why," and take pride in shipping features that customers actually love. You're not satisfied when the code works; you're satisfied when the product works.
An empathetic collaborator. You enjoy working with designers on interaction details, firmware engineers on device behavior, data teams on optimization logic, customer support on real-world issues, and more. You communicate clearly across these boundaries, and you remember that we all succeed or fail together.
Core skills and experience that we're looking for and are willing to use your talent to learn the rest.

Responsibilities

End-to-end ownership of user-facing product features. Thermostat control, schedules, energy optimization, air quality tracking, and more—from mobile app to backend to device integration. You'll own features from concept through production, not just tickets in a sprint.
Full-stack fluency. Comfort building across mobile (React Native or native iOS/Android) and backend systems. You don't need to be an expert in everything, but you can work across the stack and learn what you don't know.
API and system design sense. You'll design interfaces between mobile apps, backend services, and IoT devices. Experience thinking through data models, state management, and the edge cases that emerge when software meets the physical world.
Engineering rigour. Tests, code review, and CI/CD are table stakes–practices which are often treated as optional in firmware. Not at Jetson.
Comfort with on-call responsibility. Our customers rely on our systems to heat & cool their homes. When production issues arise, we need engineers who can quickly diagnose, resolve, and ensure they don’t happen again.
