Utilidata
Senior Software Engineer, Edge/IoT
Utilidata, Providence, Rhode Island, us, 02912
Utilidata is a fast-growing energy technology company that is digitizing the grid-edge to unleash the full potential of clean energy. Our industry-leading software solutions create visibility to the edge of the grid and optimize grid operations. We are leveraging our proven expertise to build new solutions that optimize real-time data and AI to integrate more clean energy and support an electrified transportation system.
We are expanding our engineering team and looking for a Senior Software Engineer to lead the productionalization of our IoT platform, with a primary emphasis on the software that runs on edge IoT devices. This edge software includes machine learning, optimization algorithms, and components that host these capabilities that must meet high standards of performance, security, reliability, and accuracy. These individuals will be fully engaged in the software development process from architecture and planning all the way through deployment, and must have broad and deep knowledge of the state of the evolving software. We are looking for candidates who are mission-driven, collaborative, adaptive and experienced in designing, writing, testing, and debugging distributed enterprise software at scale. Ideal candidates will possess deep knowledge of Python, Linux, continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), and have a proven track record in designing and developing successful enterprise software.
ResponsibilitiesDesign, propose, plan, implement, and test resource-constrained, edge software in Python (and possibly lower-level languages, e.g., Rust)Create and maintain CI/CD processes as necessary to support development and deploymentContribute to internal and external technical documentationCollaborate with a cross-functional team of software, hardware, quality assurance (QA), and power systems engineers; data scientists; and leadershipProvide high quality, in-depth code and architecture reviews, implement new features, and provide technical leadership while coordinating with project management, QA, and other internal teamsContinually advocate for and implement process improvement and automationFoster a culture of open communication, innovation, and continual improvementMentor other engineers using paired programming, code review, and collaborative test scenario designMinimum Qualifications
8+ years of professional experience including 5+ years of experience developing production software and systems, or a combination of educational and professional experience commensurate with this level of experienceDemonstrated ability to design and implement distributed systems utilizing microservices in a resource-constrained environment (edge devices with limited memory, CPUs, GPU capacity, etc.)Extensive experience using Python, C/C++ and the Linux operating systemExperience with device layered security, i.e encryption (PKI) , disk partitioning, secure boot, os kernel libraries, device drivers, os processes/daemonsExpert level user of Shell scripting, helm charts, ansible, and prometheus toolsData compression and schema management for device time series dataKnowledge of industry protocols 2030.5, DNP3, Modbus, OPC-UAExperience implementing and maintaining CI/CD workflows (e.g., GitHub Actions or Jenkins)Strong problem solving and troubleshooting skills, with a desire to create elegant solutions to complex problemsStrong understanding of synchronous and asynchronous network communication, including REST APIs, gRPC, binary protocols, and distributed publish/subscribe messaging systems and protocols like MQTT and ZeroMQHands-on knowledge of cloud platforms and services focused on IoT device management, security and OTA updates (AWS, Azure) preferably in the scale of million devicesExperience contributing to production code bases using a modern development process (git/GitHub flow with continuous integration, including code review, automated test execution, and code standards evaluation and reporting)Strong written and oral communication skillsProven track record of seamlessly moving between individual and team workEnhanced Qualifications (Nice to Have)
