About The Position

About Redwood Materials
Redwood is localizing a global battery supply chain that seamlessly integrates recovery, reuse, and recycling — keeping critical minerals in circulation and driving the energy transition. Founded in 2017, we’re delivering low-cost and large-scale energy storage and producing battery materials in the U.S. for the first time, all from batteries we already have.
Software Engineering Lead - Warehouse & ERP Systems
We're replacing our legacy ERP and WMS with custom systems at North America's largest battery recycler. The 2026 cutover date is firm - you'll define what gets built by deadline and what gets deferred.
The immediate build is a custom WMS: receiving, putaway, picking, shipping, bin/lot/serial tracking, cycle count. This integrates with core ERP and manufacturing systems. You own the boundary between warehouse operations and financial systems.
This is a permanent product area, not a project. After cutover, you own and evolve this domain as the company's operational backbone.

Requirements

• Direct experience building, implementing, or heavily customizing warehouse management or supply chain systems - you understand how receiving, inventory, and shipping actually work
• Ability to define product scope from stakeholder conversations - not just build to spec, but determine what should be built and why
• Clear, direct communicator who can interview floor operators, negotiate scope boundaries with cross-functional teams, and report status up
• Technical depth to direct a small engineering team building on Python, React, and AWS with our existing team’s established patterns
• Willing to be on-site in Nevada at least 3 days a week

Nice To Haves

• Experience with ERP integration patterns (how WMS talks to financials)
• Experience leading a small engineering team (3-5 people) through build, deploy, and maintain
• Manufacturing, recycling, or logistics industry experience
• Comfort with aggressive timelines and ambiguity
• Enthusiasm for AI-assisted development

Responsibilities

• You start by embedding with warehouse operators, finance, and operations stakeholders - mostly on-site, some remote - to define what the WMS must do at cutover.
• You make scope decisions that keep the system minimal. Every requirement should justify its existence.
• As requirements take shape, you help hire a small engineering team and lead them through build and delivery.
• Your manager provides strategic direction and support. You own product definition, scope decisions, and your team's output.
• After cutover: stabilization, then continuous improvement and scope expansion. Permanent product ownership.
