Senior Software Engineer: Circuit and Fault Intelligence

About Gridware

Gridware exists to enhance and protect the mother of all networks: the electrical grid. The grid touches everything and the consequences can be dire when it fails: wildfires burn, land is destroyed, property is damaged, and lives are lost.

Our team created an advanced sensing system to continuously analyze critical grid behavior. Utilizing high-precision sensor arrays and intelligence, our system identifies and preemptively mitigates faults. The technology has been proven with utilities to bolster safety, enhance reliability, and reduce outages. The demand for power will only increase. We protect the grid of today while we build the grid of tomorrow.

Gridware is privately held and backed by the best climate-tech and Silicon Valley investors. We are headquartered in San Francisco, California.

Role Description

In this role, you will lead development to scale our automated fault detection systems. Gridware is working with never-before-seen data and operational workflows, and this demands innovative, rigorous engineering for user experience and time constraints. This is a critical role where your decisions will directly impact the speed and accuracy with which our utility customers can respond to grid faults, outages, and wildfire ignitions.
