AI data centers are creating a massive new wave of electricity demand and putting even more strain on an aging grid. Strobe is building the power company that will meet that demand.
Our software turns batteries and generators at commercial and industrial buildings into distributed power plants that can buy, sell, and dispatch electricity in real time. We build the control stack for operating these assets and the trading platform that connects them to wholesale energy markets.
We’re a small, high-ownership team working on critical infrastructure. You’ll learn how the energy system actually works: what happens inside the electrical room of a large commercial building, how data centers are powered, how utilities and grid operators communicate, and how a battery gets commissioned and brought online.
This is early, technical, and very real-world. The software you build will control physical equipment, keep power plants online, and move money in regulated markets. We’re the only company actively trading distributed power in FERC-regulated wholesale markets, with multiple behind-the-meter power plants operating in NYC and expansion underway in California and along the East Coast.
I’m looking for an experienced SRE to own our infrastructure and reliability. We remotely operate millions of dollars of equipment, and it has to work. You’ll own our AWS environment, the control-room infrastructure that communicates directly with utilities and market operators, and the systems we use to deploy, observe, and operate a growing fleet. You’ll also work closely with the rest of the engineering team to establish good patterns as we ship new services and features.
You’re probably a good fit if you have deep AWS experience, have used Terraform seriously in production, write a lot of Python, and are comfortable working around Rust services. Energy experience is useful but not required (SCADA, DNP3, MQTT).
Stack: Python, TypeScript, Rust, Terraform, AWS, GraphQL/AppSync, MQTT, Grafana. We work in a monorepo designed for agent-assisted engineering workflows and are investing heavily in making engineers dramatically more effective with coding agents.
AI data centers are creating a massive new wave of electricity demand, and the grid is already stretched. Strobe is building an autonomous power company to help meet that demand: software that turns buildings, batteries, EVs, and generators into a distributed power plant that can buy, sell, and dispatch electricity in real time.
We’re a 6-person, well-funded team backed by top investors. This is early, high-ownership, and very real-world: the software you build will control physical assets and move money in energy markets. We are the only company actively trading distributed power in New York - the space is entirely new and unlocked by recent FERC regulation.
I’m looking for a staff engineer to own the data integrations and cloud infrastructure that make the whole system work. That means connecting to utilities, grid operators, OEM hardware, weather providers, and our optimization engine — then making sure it all runs reliably when market events are happening and dollars are on the line.
You’d work on things like:
* Wholesale market integrations with NYISO, CAISO, ERCOT: pricing, capacity markets, dispatch signals
* OEM hardware integrations for monitoring, control, and telemetry
* Utility data pipelines, including Green Button Connect / ESPI, interval usage, billing, and meter data from utilities like ConEd, PG&E, and SCE
* Weather forecast pipelines feeding our scheduling engine
* Event-driven AWS infrastructure using Lambda, API Gateway, AppSync/GraphQL, EventBridge, IoT Core, Timestream, Amplify, and CloudWatch
* Terraform IaC, observability, alerting, and the reliability work needed when downtime has real financial consequences
Good fit if you have deep AWS experience, have used Terraform seriously in production, and write a lot of Python. Energy experience is a plus, but not required. Experience with utilities, government APIs, OEMs, hardware, telemetry, or other “real world is messy” systems is very relevant.
