About SkySpecs
SkySpecs is simplifying renewable energy asset management by offering purpose-built technologies and services that help our customers deliver industry-leading productivity, efficiency, and returns. Every day we help our customers unlock the power of their data so they can make confident, informed decisions. Our team brings deep industry experience and a willingness to get our hands dirty to first understand and then solve customer problems on the ground.
SkySpecs launched the world’s first completely autonomous blade inspection product in 2016 with a custom designed drone system. Since then, SkySpecs has inspected over 90% of the wind turbines in the US and we’ve expanded globally, becoming the world leader in understanding the health of turbine blades. Identifying issues with turbine blades is only the first step. In 2019, SkySpecs launched Horizon to be a platform for SkySpecs to offer a multi-layered solution for customers that includes: data collection, wind turbine blade engineering expertise, and a place for all stakeholders to collaborate to manage and analyze massive amounts of data, spot trends, and create plans for high-cost repair campaigns. In 2021, SkySpecs acquired two companies specializing in wind turbine drivetrain monitoring and financial management, further expanding our asset management portfolio. Ultimately, this will help reduce the cost and risk of operations for the industry.
What will I be getting myself into?
SkySpecs will probably be unlike any place you’ve ever worked. The second you walk in the door (or log in, if you are remote), you will feel the high-energy environment filled with incredibly smart people solving hard problems. SkySpecs values collaboration, multidisciplinary problem solving, and a mantra of ‘under-promise, over-deliver’. SkySpecs is at a critical growth period where there are endless opportunities to make an impact.
Are you a dedicated Frontend developer who wants to work on something that really matters? Do you want to build the best product that you possibly can, no compromises? Join us in transforming Condition Monitoring for Wind Turbines.
As a Front-End Engineer, you will:
Use a purely functional programming language called Elm (and a bit of TypeScript sprinkled here and there), which allows us to keep our dependencies to a minimum, while still building world class products. With us you’ll be standing on the shoulders of giants, by applying tried and tested methods from the field of computer science, and truly understanding the reasoning behind the code you write. We have lots of big and exciting problems to solve. Just as an example, we’ve built our own 3D charting micro-frontend for visualizing thousands of data points with perfect real-time performance. No compromises.
Requirements of the job:
- You are an experienced user of Typescript and/or JavaScript.
- Have a strong motivation to learn and master core computer science principles.
- You are comfortable working in a team environment, where no one is across the finish line till everyone is.
Bonus points for:
- Functional Programming.
