Cloud Engineering Senior

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. We’re scaling the deployment of critical infrastructure monitoring devices to detect real-world fault events that lead to wildfires. The platform you’ll build and operate ingests millions of events per day from devices in the field, powers customer-facing dashboards and alerting, and supports the data science work that turns raw signals into grid intelligence.

You will own AWS infrastructure, Kubernetes (EKS), CI/CD, and observability end-to-end, partnering with our Cloud Security team to keep the platform safe and compliant, and with backend, firmware, and data teams to keep them shipping fast. As an early member of the DevOps team, you’ll have a direct hand in shaping how Gridware builds, deploys, and runs production systems for years to come.
