About Redwood Materials Redwood is localizing a global battery supply chain that seamlessly integrates recovery, reuse, and recycling — keeping critical minerals in circulation and driving the energy transition. Founded in 2017, we’re delivering low-cost and large-scale energy storage and producing battery materials in the U.S. for the first time, all from batteries we already have. Infrastructure Software Engineer, Energy Storage The Infrastructure Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the foundational platform infrastructure that enables our engineering team to develop and deploy Battery Energy Storage Systems reliably and at scale. This role serves as a force-multiplier across the organization, owning edge fleet management, server provisioning, and deployment automation while ensuring systems are secure, scalable, and performant. The position partners closely with cross-functional engineering teams to translate early deployment learnings into platform improvements and drive resolution of scalability, reliability, and security challenges. Success in this role requires deep technical expertise, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to thrive in an ambiguous, fast-paced, early-stage environment. Responsibilities will include: Design and own the rollout of edge Kubernetes fleet management, automated server provisioning, and software update pipelines to support scalable and reliable system deployment. Evaluate server hardware and operating systems to help define the architecture of the organization's next-generation energy storage platform. Identify and resolve hard infrastructure problems, including scalability bottlenecks, reliability gaps, performance issues, and security vulnerabilities. Build and maintain tooling and services used to validate software systems at scale, including performance and reliability testing frameworks. Serve as a technical resource for the broader engineering team through pair programming, in-office working sessions, and hands-on project leadership. Translate learnings from early deployments and customer pilots into concrete, measurable improvements to platform infrastructure. Reinforce a team culture grounded in engineering excellence, curiosity, inclusivity, and a willingness to take action and learn from mistakes. Desired Qualifications: 5+ years of relevant industry experience in infrastructure, platform, or site reliability engineering. Strong grasp of system design principles and real-world experience building available, reliable, scalable, and secure distributed systems. Experience designing, implementing, and maintaining secure network systems and infrastructure. Genuine interest in server hardware fundamentals and how software and hardware interact at the platform level. Ability to work comfortably with ambiguity, prototype solutions iteratively, and learn rapidly from early-stage work. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex systems clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Ability to manage multiple workstreams, shifting priorities, and competing deadlines in a fast-paced, early-stage environment.

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
