at Exponent Energy

🏢 About Exponent Energy

Exponent Energy is at the forefront of accelerating the energy shift to scale electric vehicles globally, with a focus on building robust digital infrastructure. Their unique approach combines hardware, firmware, and software to create seamless EV charging experiences, making them a key player in India's EV revolution.

About This Role

As a Full Stack Developer, you'll build and ship customer-facing mobile apps (React Native) and websites (React) for EV drivers, covering charger discovery, payments, tracking, and optimization. You'll also develop internal tools for operations and business teams, and create backend services in Python, directly impacting the EV ecosystem's scalability and user experience.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up with product and design to discuss new features for the driver app, then diving into coding a new React Native screen for charger discovery. After lunch, you might debug a Python API performance issue, collaborate with hardware team on data integration, and end the day by deploying a fix for internal operations tools.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting a generic resume without tailoring to EV or energy tech – show specific interest in the domain.
  • Overemphasizing backend or frontend alone; this role demands full-stack exposure with both Python and React/React Native.
  • Failing to demonstrate a builder mindset – avoid just listing technologies; focus on impact and ownership of features.
