Our mission is to move humanity off of fossil fuel heating. 20% of US global warming emissions come from homes (that's more than cars!). The largest driver of home emissions is burning fossil fuels for heat. To stop climate change, over 80M US homes need to transition from combustion to efficient, electric heat pumps over the coming decades.

We believe for this to happen the world needs fantastic products that are easy and desirable to purchase. Today's heat pumps lack great design, make limited use of software, and are difficult and stressful to adopt. We are building a next generation, beautifully designed, AI optimized home heating and cooling system that is 10x better than what is on the market today.

Role

Quilt is hiring for an enthusiastic embedded software engineer to join a super collaborative and talented software team delivering robust embedded software for our first heat pump product. You will have extensive experience with embedded Linux environments and be comfortable interacting with multiple layers of the stack from low level firmware to backend services.
