Software Engineer, Distributed Compute

• Design and implement core device software that runs reliably on thousands of deployed devices with >99.5% uptime.
• Build robust device-to-cloud communication protocols handling network interruptions, packet loss, and latency.
• Create safe, rapid deployment infrastructure and tooling for over-the-air updates with rollback mechanisms.
• Develop telemetry systems for remote debugging and system understanding while respecting bandwidth and privacy.

This role directly contributes to making the U.S. power grid more resilient and abundant by enabling distributed computing at the edge, reducing blackouts and improving energy reliability for thousands of homes.

• 3+ years of production software experience on physical devices, IoT systems, or embedded systems.
• Strong experience in C, C++, Rust, Go, or equivalent systems languages.
• Deep understanding of networking, HTTP/REST APIs, and device communication protocols.
• Experience building software that handles unreliable networks, offline states, and eventual sync.
