Role Overview

A Staff Software Engineer with backend expertise and an aptitude for technical leadership is being sought to help evolve a renewable energy platform. This is a high-impact role for an engineer who blends hands-on development with strategic influence-designing and implementing robust, scalable systems that power hardware-software integration, customer-facing applications, and internal tools. You will shape the technical direction of systems that integrate hardware, firmware, cloud infrastructure, and intelligent automation, working across the full software lifecycle.

What You'll Do

• Evolve platform architecture for distributed, cloud-native systems in serverless AWS environments.
• Partner with the Lead Architect and engineering leads to drive technical strategy and decisions across multiple teams.
• Design scalable backend systems, APIs, microservices, and data models that support customer-facing applications and internal tools.
• Lead design reviews, architecture sessions, and cross-domain planning initiatives.
• Identify and address systemic technical debt and architectural gaps proactively.
• Build performant, secure, and maintainable backend systems using TypeScript.
• Implement cloud-native solutions leveraging AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, IoT Core, Step Functions, and CDK.
• Ensure observability, error handling, and reliability across a distributed microservices architecture.
• Partner with Product, Design, Firmware, and IoT teams on distributed coordination across hardware, cloud, and edge.
• Mentor engineers and elevate technical capabilities across the organization.

Required Skills & Experience

Technical Excellence:

• Expert-level proficiency in modern backend development with TypeScript.

• Proven track record building scalable APIs, data pipelines, and distributed systems at scale.
• Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), infrastructure as code, and observability tooling (Datadog, etc.).
• Production experience with modern AI/ML systems examples include AWS Bedrock, agentic workflows (LangChain/LangGraph), and tool integrations.

Engineering Leadership & Impact:

• 8+ years in software development, including 3-4+ years in staff, principal, or architecture leadership roles.
• Proven experience driving large-scale technical projects and influencing technical direction across multiple teams.
• Strong mentorship abilities with a track record of elevating engineering talent.
• Complete lifecycle ownership: from prototyping and architecture through deployment, operations, and long-term support.

Strategic Thinking & Ownership:

• Exceptional communication skills-able to translate complex technical concepts for both technical and business audiences.
• High ownership mentality: Takes responsibility for outcomes, not just deliverables.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-paced startup environments requiring independent decision-making.

Who You Are

• Passionate about climate solutions, sustainability, and building technology that matters.
• Motivated by high-impact work that makes a real difference.
• Autonomous yet collaborative-you drive initiatives independently while building consensus.
• Intellectually curious and adaptable, comfortable working at the intersection of hardware, software, and firmware.
• Quality-driven-you balance moving fast with building things right the first time.
