How to Apply for ERP Associate Developer

at Exponent Energy

🏢 About Exponent Energy

Exponent Energy is pioneering rapid charging technology that can fully charge electric vehicles in just 15 minutes, addressing one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption. Unlike typical energy companies, they're building both hardware (batteries, charging stations) and software solutions to accelerate the global energy transition. Working here means contributing directly to scalable, sustainable transportation solutions with tangible environmental impact.

About This Role

As an ERP Associate Developer at Exponent Energy, you'll customize and maintain their ERPNext system to support rapid scaling of EV charging infrastructure operations. This role is impactful because you'll build the digital backbone that manages everything from battery inventory to customer billing, directly enabling efficient deployment of their 15-minute charging technology across India.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start by reviewing manufacturing workflow issues reported overnight, then collaborate with Program Executives to refine requirements for a new battery inventory tracking feature. After lunch, you'd develop custom scripts for CRM integration while debugging a performance bottleneck in financial reporting, balancing immediate operational support with longer-term system improvements.
