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.

Software Engineering Lead - Warehouse & ERP Systems

We're replacing our legacy ERP and WMS with custom systems at North America's largest battery recycler. The 2026 cutover date is firm - you'll define what gets built by deadline and what gets deferred.

The immediate build is a custom WMS: receiving, putaway, picking, shipping, bin/lot/serial tracking, cycle count. This integrates with core ERP and manufacturing systems. You own the boundary between warehouse operations and financial systems.

This is a permanent product area, not a project. After cutover, you own and evolve this domain as the company's operational backbone.

What You'll Do
You start by embedding with warehouse operators, finance, and operations stakeholders - mostly on-site, some remote - to define what the WMS must do at cutover. You make scope decisions that keep the system minimal. Every requirement should justify its existence.

As requirements take shape, you help hire a small engineering team and lead them through build and delivery. Your manager provides strategic direction and support. You own product definition, scope decisions, and your team's output.

After cutover: stabilization, then continuous improvement and scope expansion. Permanent product ownership.

What We're Looking For

Required:

Direct experience building, implementing, or heavily customizing warehouse management or supply chain systems - you understand how receiving, inventory, and shipping actually work
Ability to define product scope from stakeholder conversations - not just build to spec, but determine what should be built and why
Clear, direct communicator who can interview floor operators, negotiate scope boundaries with cross-functional teams, and report status up
Technical depth to direct a small engineering team building on Python, React, and AWS with our existing team’s established patterns
Willing to be on-site in Nevada at least 3 days a week

Preferred:

Experience with ERP integration patterns (how WMS talks to financials)
Experience leading a small engineering team (3-5 people) through build, deploy, and maintain
Manufacturing, recycling, or logistics industry experience
Comfort with aggressive timelines and ambiguity
Enthusiasm for AI-assisted development

The position is full-time. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
