How to Apply for Full Stack SW Engineer

at Range Energy

🏢 About Range Energy

Range Energy is revolutionizing heavy-duty trucking with powered trailer systems that deliver 40%+ fuel savings and 70% emissions reduction without requiring fleets to replace existing tractors. They uniquely combine hardware innovation with software solutions to solve real-world transportation problems, offering engineers the chance to work on meaningful climate tech with tangible environmental impact.

About This Role

This Full Stack SW Engineer role involves building software systems that interface with Range Energy's physical powered trailer hardware, likely including telemetry, fleet management, and operational optimization platforms. The position is impactful because you'll be developing the digital backbone that enables fleets to maximize fuel savings and emissions reductions from Range's innovative trailer systems.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve collaborating with hardware engineers to integrate new sensor data into the software platform, developing features for fleet management dashboards that optimize trailer performance, and participating in fast-paced standups focused on tangible progress toward reducing emissions in heavy-duty transportation. You'd be balancing backend API development with frontend interfaces that help fleets maximize fuel savings from Range's trailer systems.

🎯 Who Range Energy Is Looking For

  • Experience building full-stack applications that interface with physical hardware/IoT systems (not just web apps)
  • Demonstrated ability to work in fast-paced environments with high execution standards and ownership mentality
  • Proven track record of being solution-focused, low-ego, and team-first in collaborative settings
  • Technical skills spanning both frontend and backend development with experience in scalable systems
