Requirements
You have shipped and maintained production software systems that interact with physical hardware or industrial equipment — not just web services.
You write strong C, Go, and/or Rust and can reason clearly about memory management, concurrency, and performance tradeoffs in production.
You have done meaningful development work on Linux — not just deploying containers, but systems-level work like debugging kernel interactions, profiling performance, or working with device drivers.
You have hands-on experience with at least one Linux build system (Yocto, Buildroot, Bazel, or CMake) and can articulate what is painful about it and how you have worked around those pain points.
You have built and operated backend services, APIs, and data pipelines that need to be reliable under real operational constraints (not just "five nines on paper").
You practice modern software development rigorously: version control, CI/CD, automated testing, and thorough code review are non-negotiable parts of your workflow.

Responsibilities
We are hiring a Full Stack Systems Engineer to build the software that controls, monitors, and orchestrates Amperesand's solid-state power infrastructure products — from the embedded Linux devices sitting inside our hardware to the cloud services that our customers will use to manage deployments in the field.
This is not a typical web app role. You will work at the boundary where software meets physical infrastructure, and you need to be comfortable in that space. You will work on things like hardening our yocto-based OS, building services to handle all the telemetry from our products, and creating dashboards to help visualize our product and its performance.
You will sit within a small engineering team and collaborate daily with power electronics firmware engineers, control engineers, and other software engineers.
We ship software that runs on real energy systems — reliability, safety, and correctness are not aspirational values here; they are hard constraints.
Architect and maintain full-stack software systems that directly interface with Amperesand's grid-connected power hardware — this includes edge device software, backend services, and operator-facing tools.
Build and operate high-performance backend services and APIs in C, Go, and/or Rust for hardware control, telemetry ingestion, and system orchestration.
