Strobe | Senior Infrastructure & Data Integration Engineer | Brooklyn, NYC | ONSITE | Full-time

Strobe is building the world's largest power plant — not a single site, but a distributed fleet of buildings, batteries, EVs, and generators buying and selling power in real time across wholesale energy markets.

We need a senior engineer to own our data integration and cloud infrastructure layer — the connective tissue between utilities, grid operators, OEM hardware, weather services, and our optimization engine.

What you'd own:

– Wholesale market integrations (NYISO, CAISO, ERCOT) — real-time pricing, capacity markets, demand response signals

– OEM hardware integrations — API and data bridges to building equipment manufacturers for monitoring, control, and telemetry

– Green Button Connect pipelines — ingesting interval consumption, billing, and meter data from utilities (ConEd, PG&E, SCE, etc.) via OAuth2 + ESPI

– Weather and solar forecast data pipelines

– Utility bill reproduction engine — modeling site economics before and after Strobe to forecast financial impact across dozens of rate structures. This simulation infrastructure is core to how we sell and deliver value.

– Event-driven AWS infrastructure (Lambda, API Gateway, AppSync/GraphQL, EventBridge, IoT Core, TimeStream, Amplify, CloudWatch)

– Terraform IaC — real module design, remote state, multi-workspace patterns

– 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-optimized monorepo with deep investment in agent-enabled engineering efficiency.

Small team, high ownership, no layers. 5 days/week onsite at Newlab, Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Strobe | Software Engineer | Brooklyn, NYC | ONSITE | Full-time | $120k–$250k + equity

We’re building a distributed, software-defined power plant: buildings, batteries, EVs, and on-site generation buying and selling power in real time. Think cloud control plane + embedded hardware + energy markets.

Small, high-performing team. No layers. You’ll own systems end-to-end: design → deploy → on-call.

We’re looking for *fungible generalists*, not narrow specialists. Strong fit if you’re comfortable with: - AWS-heavy backend work (Lambda, APIs, GraphQL, data pipelines) - Operating real-time production systems - Python / TypeScript (Rust a plus)

Depending on fit, you might work on: - Telemetry & control over unreliable networks - Embedded Linux / RTUs (Modbus, BACnet, DNP3) - Market-facing systems and optimization - Operator UIs with real-time streams (React)

Requirements: - Strong production experience - Systems mindset, bias to shipping - Willing to be onsite 5 days/week at Newlab (Brooklyn Navy Yard) - Not remote

Fast pace, direct feedback, real ownership. This is not a 9–5.

  Location: DC and Seattle
  Remote: No preference
  Willing to Relocate: Yes
  Technologies: C/C++, Rust, Go, Python, JavaScript, Java... primarily worked on backend cloud infrastructure and embedded software for autonomous robots.

I'm currently taking some time off to be with family and am starting to explore what I am going to do next. I'm open to starting something new in Q1 of CY'25.

I'm a passionate software engineer, very effective directly supporting enterprise customers, and have successfully built and lead engineering teams from first hire to over 200 full-time engineers.

Would love to talk if you think you have established product market fit and are looking to scale.

I don't see your email in your profile. Can you reach out to me? [email protected]

F9 | 3 Senior Software Engineer | Boston, MA | Full Time or Contract | ONSITE We are teaching the US Air Force how to build software.

We are looking for team mates that have strong engineering backgrounds outside of government and who have an interest in teaching Air Force service members and civilians how to build and operate multi-tenant services in a shoulder to shoulder environment. You will be implementing and operating the services as a senior software engineer.

The platform we are operating today is Pivotal Cloud Foundry so experience with Cloud Foundry or similar is a big bonus, but is not strictly required.

The project we are working on is called Kessel Run, you can Google articles or reach out to me directly ([email protected]) if you want to learn more.

The only strict requirement is that you be eligible to receive a security clearance at some point in the future. Mostly this means US Citizen with a felony free background.
