About Gridware

Gridware is a San Francisco-based technology company dedicated to protecting and enhancing the electrical grid. We pioneered a groundbreaking new class of grid management called active grid response (AGR), focused on monitoring the electrical, physical, and environmental aspects of the grid that affect reliability and safety. Gridware’s advanced Active Grid Response platform uses high-precision sensors to detect potential issues early, enabling proactive maintenance and fault mitigation. This comprehensive approach helps improve safety, reduce outages, and ensure the grid operates efficiently. The company is backed by climate-tech and Silicon Valley investors. For more information, please visit www.Gridware.io.

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Field Software team, a small team that owns its systems end to end.

You will build the backend services, APIs, and data pipelines that power how Gridware manages field assets and devices throughout their lifecycle. You will help shape how we model and exchange asset data with utilities as we scale, while building reliable systems used by our field teams, customers, and other engineering teams.

This role has a direct connection to the physical world. The software you build helps field crews complete installations and gives utilities accurate information about their grid and assets.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and own backend services supporting the full lifecycle of Gridware devices and field assets.
  • Build GraphQL APIs supporting an offline-first mobile application used by field crews and utility linemen.
  • Develop reliable data pipelines and integrations for exchanging asset data with utilities.
  • Design systems and data models representing grid infrastructure, assets, and the relationships between them.
  • Own systems end to end, from architecture and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and production operation.
  • Work directly with field crews to understand operational workflows and see your software used in the field.
  • Partner closely with Field Operations, Product, Data, and other engineering teams to translate real-world workflows into scalable software.
  • Contribute to architecture and technical decisions as Gridware’s systems and field deployments scale.

Required Skills

  • 5+ years of professional backend software engineering experience.
  • Strong experience with Python and PostgreSQL, including making schema changes to live production databases.
  • Experience designing and building production GraphQL APIs and data pipelines where correctness and reliability matter.
  • Experience building and operating distributed systems, including debugging and understanding failures in production.
  • Experience deploying and operating services in cloud environments. We use AWS and Kubernetes.
  • Experience using AI coding tools effectively while maintaining ownership of the design, quality, and correctness of the code produced.
  • Strong technical judgment, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Track record of owning software systems end to end and proactively identifying and addressing problems.

Bonus Skills

  • Experience with Apollo Federation, SQLAlchemy, or async Python.
  • Experience building backend systems for mobile or offline-first applications.
  • Experience with TypeScript and contributing across the full stack.
  • Experience with event-driven systems such as Kafka or SQS.
  • Experience with observability tools such as OpenTelemetry, Grafana, or Sentry.
  • Experience with data lakehouse technologies such as Databricks, Apache Iceberg, or Trino.
  • Experience with geospatial data, GIS, or utility data.
  • Experience building software for mobile applications, IoT or connected devices, utilities, or other physical-world systems.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
