Software Engineer

### Who you are
- Strong software design instincts — you think in systems, reason from first principles, and understand the real-world challenges of building available, reliable, scalable, and secure distributed systems
- AI-accelerated development — you're comfortable using AI tools to move faster, without letting them erode system design or code quality
- Great collaborator — you communicate clearly, listen well, and make the people around you better
- Bias toward action — you take initiative, make progress in ambiguous situations, and don't wait for perfect information
- Systems thinker and owner — you're willing to think and collaborate across team boundaries to make sure the product works well as a whole
- Rigorous about quality — you write well-tested, well-monitored software and iterate on it over time
- We're flexible on years of experience — what matters most is the depth of your thinking and your track record of building things that work

### What the job involves
- We build the software platform that powers optimized control and market participation of battery energy storage systems (BESS) — software that runs both on the site controllers and in the cloud
- Our scope spans the full stack: compute infrastructure, telemetry, asset modeling, alerting, feature ingestion and storage for forecasting and optimization, simulation and operational control orchestration, and integration with energy markets
- We're a lean team that holds ourselves to high standards — both in the quality of what we build and the speed at which we build it. We value collaboration, trust, learning, and engineering excellence, and we genuinely enjoy building great things together
- You'll contribute across the platform, with possible areas of focus including:
- BESS data engineering — telemetry pipelines and stores, feature ingestion and storage for forecasting and optimization
- Simulation and training infrastructure — platforms for running and orchestrating simulations at scale
- Real-time forecast and optimization workflows — orchestrating pipelines that drive BESS operations
- Energy market integration — data ingestion and bid management
- Some of the technologies we work with: Kubernetes, Rust, Python, NATS, PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB, SQLite, and more as our system continues to evolve
