Principal Engineer

Strobe is building the world's largest power plant: not a single site, but a distributed fleet of buildings, batteries, EVs, and generators that buy and sell power in real time across wholesale energy markets.

Own the reliability and performance of the entire system end-to-end, and lead the integration of new capacity into the fleet.

• Own the reliability and performance of the whole system end-to-end — edge controllers, controls, cloud platform, and market-facing trading
• Lead the integration of new capacity — buildings, batteries, EVs, generators — into the fleet
• Work hands-on with engineers across hardware, controls, platform, fullstack, and trading to ship and operate it
• Partner with the business to keep a reliable, performant power plant as the fleet scales by orders of magnitude
• Own production on-call and incident response for systems that control physical hardware and move real money

• A deep staff/principal track record; you still read and write code every day
• Owned the reliability and performance of a complex production system end to end — distributed cloud services plus the physical or real-time edge
• Set technical standards others adopt, without needing a title or process to do it
• Sound judgment under ambiguity, with energy markets, hardware, and regulation all moving at once
• Bias toward shipping, with the rigor to keep safety-critical systems trustworthy
