Senior Software Engineer (Mobile): Field Operations

About Gridware

Gridware exists to enhance and protect the mother of all networks: the electrical grid. The grid touches everything and the consequences can be dire when it fails: wildfires burn, land is destroyed, property is damaged, and lives are lost.

Our team created an advanced sensing system to continuously analyze critical grid behavior. Utilizing high-precision sensor arrays and intelligence, our system identifies and preemptively mitigates faults. The technology has been proven with utilities to bolster safety, enhance reliability, and reduce outages. The demand for power will only increase. We protect the grid of today while we build the grid of tomorrow.

Gridware is privately held and backed by the best climate-tech and Silicon Valley investors. We are headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Role Description

In this role, you will lead development of systems to accelerate the deployment of our devices in the field. The physical world is often more complex than the digital world, and this role will require creative problem solving to design for ideal system behavior in the face of real world constraints. This is a critical role that will work closely with our Field Operations and Circuit and Fault Intelligence teams, where your decisions will have far-reaching foundational impacts on our team’s understanding of grid infrastructure. 

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience in relevant roles at tech and product-driven companies 
• Ability to thrive in a low structure, high-autonomy environment with competing priorities 
• You’ve built something from the ground up with broad ownership 
• Experience with Python, GraphQL, React, Typescript, PostgreSQL, Terraform, Linux systems, and containerization technologies 
• Experience with observability tooling such as OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Prometheus 
• Experience building mobile applications (preference for React Native) 
• Experience building GIS mobile apps for physical operations/logistics 

This describes the ideal candidate; many of us have picked up this expertise along the way. Even if you meet only part of this list, we encourage you to apply!
