San Francisco, United States SPAN Inc Full time
Our Mission

At SPAN, we are building products to enable the rapid adoption of renewable energy. As more distributed energy resources like solar and storage come onto the grid, it’s increasingly important to be able to improve the technology that sits between the grid, the home, and those distributed energy resources. SPAN’s smart panel replaces the electrical panel to become the center for connected power in the home.  With SPAN, homeowners receive all the safety features of a standard panel with revolutionary insights and edge-of-grid controls through our mobile app.

The Role

We are seeking an intern to join our growing backend software team. At SPAN, the backend engineering team’s main focus is to connect our distributed network of SPAN Panels to the cloud and serve real-time and aggregated data to our customers through our mobile app. In addition to working with internal APIs, a backend engineering intern will work closely with our Device Firmware team to ensure data can flow smoothly from the panels into the cloud. They can also expect to collaborate with our Data Science team to help design and implement new tools and services to give utility companies access to data for the purposes of energy management/optimization.

Responsibilities
  • Take ownership of new features from design through to implementation

  • Write unit-tests and validate integrations for any new features added

  • Collaborate with the rest of the Engineering Team to help define scope and timelines for potential projects

Potential Projects

Projects you might expect to work on include:

  • Building out APIs to support new features for our customer-facing mobile app

  • Working with our internal Systems Team to provide APIs/tools for in-house debugging/data-analysis

  • Collaborating with senior engineers to build backend infrastructure to support our new EVSE product

About You Required Qualifications

We are seeking an intern with the following experience:

  • Understanding of Node.js (TypeScript preferred) used in a backend context

  • Experience with code sharing/collaboration frameworks/processes (e.g. git)

  • Working knowledge of at least one database technology (MySQL, Postgres, NoSQL stores etc)

Bonus Qualifications

We would love to hire an intern with experience working in any of the following areas:

  • Serverless Cloud infrastructure/cloud computing (AWS, GCP, etc.)

  • GraphQL/REST API knowledge

  • Python/Kotlin

  • Both relational and non-relational databases

  • Internet of Things - school projects, hobbies or any other type of interest

  • Authentication/ACL best practices

  • Continuous integration and/or automated testing

The Internship position has a duration of 12 weeks and will start in May or June of 2024. Candidates must be enrolled in an accredited college or university, and have not graduated prior to end of the Internship term.

The hourly rate for this role is $30/ hour for undergrad students, and $32/hr for Masters or PhD students.
