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

Our team engineers an advanced sensing system to continuously analyze both the electrical and mechanical behavior of grid assets. Utilizing high precision sensor arrays, the system identifies and allows preemptive mitigation of faults. Our technology has been proven with utilities to bolster safety, reliability, and reduce customer outage durations. 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 the Bay Area in northern California.

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.

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. 

Your background might look like:

• 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 fullstack React Applications 
• You care deeply about understanding the user experience 

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!

Benefits

Health, Dental & Vision (Gold and Platinum with some providers plans fully covered) 

Paid parental leave 

Alternating day off (every other Monday)

“Off the Grid”, a two week per year paid break for all employees. 

Commuter allowance 

Company-paid training 

Gridware technologies enable massive instrumentation and telemetering of our physically sprawling grid. We build and deploy best-in-class hardware that collects never-before-seen data, making an immediate and profound impact on how electric utilities operate energy infrastructure. If you enjoy solving difficult technical challenges on highly interdisciplinary teams, you'll enjoy building the grid of the future at Gridware.
