Staff Software Engineer, Platform

$180K–$240K + equity Brooklyn, NY San Francisco, CA Full-time On-site

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

Own our data integration and cloud infrastructure layer: the connective tissue between utilities, grid operators, OEM hardware, weather services, and our dispatch engine.

What you'd own

• Wholesale market integrations (NYISO, CAISO, ERCOT): real-time pricing, capacity markets, dispatch signals
• OEM hardware integrations: API and data bridges to building equipment manufacturers for monitoring, control, and telemetry
• Green Button Connect pipelines that pull interval consumption, billing, and meter data from utilities (ConEd, PG&E, SCE) over OAuth2 + ESPI
• Weather forecast data pipelines
• Event-driven AWS infrastructure (Lambda, API Gateway, AppSync/GraphQL, EventBridge, IoT Core, TimeStream, Amplify, CloudWatch) managed through Terraform IaC
• 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.
