About Redwood Materials
Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back. Today Redwood is the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America — recovering, refining, and redeploying critical minerals from end-of-life batteries back into the supply chain. On the energy side, Redwood has deployed the largest second-life battery project in the world, delivering power to AI data centers in months rather than years using proprietary energy architecture engineered entirely in-house. The company is profitable, the market it operates in is projected to grow 20 to 50 times over the next decade, and Redwood is the only company with the supply chain, the technology, and the operational scale to lead it.
About Redwood Materials
Redwood Materials is building a circular supply chain for batteries. Founded in 2017, we recover, reuse, and recycle end-of-life batteries and manufacturing scrap, and use the recovered materials to produce battery components domestically and power energy storage installations. Our goal is to reduce the cost and environmental footprint of batteries by keeping critical minerals in circulation.
About the Role
Our central data and analytics team builds and operates the data pipelines that power reporting, analytics, and automation across Redwood. This is a hands-on engineering role: the majority of our work is code-based data pipelining and automated data analyses. You will spend most of your time on code-based analysis and building and maintaining production pipelines rather than working in a BI tool.
You will work directly with stakeholders in finance, supply chain, and operations to understand what they need, scope technical solutions, and deliver reliable, automated data products. We are looking for someone who can translate a business conversation into a well-engineered pipeline and stand behind it in production.
What You'll Do
- Build, deploy, and maintain production-grade automated data pipelines using Python and SQL.
- Perform one-off and automated data-driven analyses using financial and supply chain models and calculations.
- Scope technical pipeline and automation solutions based on conversations with users and an understanding of the underlying business value drivers.
- Develop and orchestrate pipelines using tools such as Dagster or Airflow, and manage transformations with dbt.
- Apply CI/CD and sound software engineering practices (version control, testing, code review) to data workflows.
