Strobe

Strobe is building the world's largest power plant — a distributed fleet of buildings, batteries, EVs, and generators buying and selling power in real time across wholesale energy markets. We need a senior engineer to own our data integration and cloud infrastructure layer — the connective tissue between utilities, grid operators, OEM hardware, weather services, and our optimization engine. Responsibilities include: wholesale market integrations (NYISO, CAISO, ERCOT) — real-time pricing, capacity markets, demand response signals; OEM hardware integrations — API and data bridges to building equipment manufacturers for monitoring, control, and telemetry; Green Button Connect pipelines — ingesting interval consumption, billing, and meter data from utilities (ConEd, PG&E, SCE, etc.) via OAuth2 + ESPI; weather and solar forecast data pipelines; utility bill reproduction engine — modeling site economics before and after Strobe to forecast financial impact across dozens of rate structures; event-driven AWS infrastructure (Lambda, API Gateway, AppSync/GraphQL, EventBridge, IoT Core, Timestream, Amplify, CloudWatch); Terraform IaC — module design, remote state, multi-workspace patterns; 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, click, boto3, async pipelines), experience integrating messy third-party APIs at scale (utilities, government, energy, OEMs), and comfort with on-call for systems that control physical hardware and move real money. Small team, high ownership, no layers. 5 days/week onsite at Newlab, Brooklyn Navy Yard. Apply via LinkedIn or resume (PDF preferred). Contact: eric@strobepower.com (mention HN).
