Senior Data Engineer

Torus is headquartered in Utah and is expanding manufacturing at our 540,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City called Giga One.
Our missionis to build the world’s first mesh energy infrastructure — built to unite people and communities through resilient, secure, and intelligent power. We design, engineer, manufacture, install, and support our systems end-to-end, standing behind them throughout their lifecycle. Torus systems help reduce costs, lower emissions, and protect facilities from outages, while strengthening the security and reliability of the broader utility grid.

Torus is committed to American manufacturing, engineering excellence, and building energy systems that last.

At Torus, you will be part of something larger than a single product or technology. Your work will help build energy infrastructure that supports critical systems, industry, and communities for decades to come. We value accountability, collaboration, and clear thinking. We are looking for people who want to solve hard problems and build things that matter.

We are looking for a talented Senior Data Engineer to build and scale the data infrastructure that powers Torus's mission. As a core member of our data team, you'll build and maintain our modern data stack (dbt, Redshift, Airflow, Fivetran, Metabase, and Streamlit), designing and implementing scalable data pipelines that ingest, transform, and serve data from our complex ecosystem of IoT devices, grid systems, and business applications.

In this role, you'll collaborate on and support the infrastructure that enables our data team to operate efficiently. You'll build real-time data pipelines that process telemetry from thousands of energy storage devices, create robust ETL workflows that ensure data quality and reliability, and develop tools that make data accessible to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Your work will directly enable machine learning models, analytics dashboards, and business intelligence that drive strategic decisions.

Our products operate within complex ecosystems including IoT devices, the electrical grid, commercial and industrial buildings, and smart home systems. You'll work with high-volume streaming data, time-series sensor data, and diverse data sources to build the infrastructure that makes Torus a truly data-driven organization.

• Autonomous and ownership-oriented: You thrive with autonomy and end-to-end ownership. You take pride in owning your code, pipelines, and services from conception to production. You have strong technical judgment and the ability to span across the data stack—from pipeline development to data modeling to tooling. You have strong Dev Ops fundamentals and enjoy total ownership of your domain.
• Collaborative architect: The team is small, so you'll be collaborating on architectural design and contributing to technical direction, not just implementing tickets. You work effectively both independently and as part of a team, actively collaborating with your data team colleagues and cross-functional partners, sharing knowledge and giving/receiving candid feedback.
• Builder mindset: You strive to write elegant, maintainable code and are comfortable independently picking up new technologies to solve problems efficiently. You're passionate about building infrastructure and tools that empower data scientists, analysts, and business users to move faster and make better decisions.
• Quality-focused: You have an eye for detail, good data intuition, and a passion for data quality and reliability.
• Adaptable startup operator: You thrive in a startup environment with ambiguous requirements and rapidly changing priorities. If you prefer clearly defined requirements and established processes, this role may not be the right fit. If you're energized by scaling data systems and shaping how a growing company uses data, you'll excel here. You understand that our existing systems were built to solve real problems under real constraints, and you approach improvements with curiosity and respect rather than judgment.
• Continuous learner: You're genuinely excited about learning new technologies and tackling unfamiliar…
