  • Design and build integrations with our utility customers' asset management systems.
  • Champion engineering best practices around testing, observability, and continuous deployment to ensure reliability at scale.

  • Comfortable taking broad ownership in a fast-paced, high-autonomy environment.
  • Passion for building products that combine software, sensors, and the physical world.
  • Bonus Points

  • Experience developing real-time or event-driven systems (MQTT, WebSockets, gRPC, etc.).
  • Familiarity with observability tools such as OpenTelemetry, Grafana, or Mimir.
  • Background working in hardware–software ecosystems or IoT systems.
  • Strong product sense and ability to translate complex technical concepts into usable tools.
