Staff Software Engineer, Platform
Strobe is building the world's largest power plant: not a single site, but a distributed fleet of buildings, batteries, EVs, and generators that buy and sell power in real time across wholesale energy markets.
Own our data integration and cloud infrastructure layer: the connective tissue between utilities, grid operators, OEM hardware, weather services, and our dispatch engine.
What you'd own
Wholesale market integrations (NYISO, CAISO, ERCOT): real-time pricing, capacity markets, dispatch signals
OEM hardware integrations: API and data bridges to building equipment manufacturers for monitoring, control, and telemetry
Green Button Connect pipelines that pull interval consumption, billing, and meter data from utilities (ConEd, PG&E, SCE) over OAuth2 + ESPI
Weather forecast data pipelines
Event-driven AWS infrastructure (Lambda, API Gateway, AppSync/GraphQL, EventBridge, IoT Core, TimeStream, Amplify, CloudWatch) managed through Terraform IaC
Observability and alerting on systems where downtime means missed market events and real dollars
Strong fit if you have
Deep AWS experience (IAM, Lambda, API Gateway, AppSync, EventBridge, TimeStream or similar TSDB)
Production Terraform (modules, remote state, multi-workspace patterns)
Extensive Python (pydantic for models, click for CLIs, boto3 for AWS, async pipelines)
Experience integrating messy third-party APIs at scale (utilities, government, energy, OEMs)
Comfort with on-call for systems that control physical hardware and move real money
Stack: Python / TypeScript / Rust / Terraform / AWS / GraphQL (AppSync) / MQTT / Grafana. AI-agent-native monorepo with deep investment in agent-enabled engineering efficiency.
Small team, high ownership, no layers.
