As part of our interview process, we request that candidates have their cameras on during video interviews. This helps foster meaningful conversation and allows us to create an experience that closely resembles our standard working environment. Certain interview steps may take place by phone. For remote roles, and at our discretion, candidates may be asked to participate in an on-site interview as part of the final stages of the process.

We understand there may be occasional circumstances requiring accommodation and are happy to discuss them as needed. Your recruiter will be able to clarify expectations and answer any questions you have.

The Power Packs engineering team is responsible for building and operating the customer-facing Power Packs experience, the backend services and internal tools that power pack configuration and purchases, and the integrations with adjacent collection systems that support the full pack lifecycle.
