Why this grade
This listing scored 45/100, which is a D. It lost the most ground on pay transparency.
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Description depth 14 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Remote clarity 8 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
- Pay transparency 0 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.

That is the middle half of what comparable roles paid on this board over the last 90 days — 24 listings that did publish a figure, median $145k. It is not this employer's offer, and we have no idea what they pay. It is only what the rest of the market advertised.
hn-hiring
We're Australia's battery-backed electricity company. We fund, install and operate batteries on-site at small businesses, then supply their power at a firm, flat rate 20–40% below incumbents, making the economics work by optimising those batteries against wholesale prices. We're live with real customers. Team of six, backed by Systemiq and Black Nova; engineering includes Casey, who previously led Google engineering in Paris and Google Maps in Sydney.
We're AI-native: engineers, energy specialists and go-to-market colleagues all ship with coding agents. Each engineer owns a product end to end, from the commercial problem through to production. Flat structure, lots of ownership.
Areas you could own:
* Customer experience: quoting, onboarding and the customer app
* Metering and billing: turning high-volume interval data into accurate bills
* Energy-market and battery data: the market, weather and telemetry pipelines behind our decisions
* The agent-driven development platform the whole team builds on
Stack: TypeScript, React, Postgres, serverless. Intro chat, system design, an agentic build, then a day with the team.
