San Francisco, California, United States

Company Overview   

Amperesand is disrupting industrial power with the first commercialized Solid State Transformer systems.

Role Summary 

As a Full Stack Software Engineer, you will design, build, and own end-to-end software systems that interface directly with energy hardware, edge compute platforms, and cloud services. You will work across the stack—from low-level systems programming on Linux-based devices to high-performance backend services and user-facing applications. This role requires strong systems thinking, excellent coding skills in modern systems languages, and a deep appreciation for reliability, safety, and performance in energy and industrial environments. 

You will collaborate closely with power firmware, infrastructure, and data teams to deliver robust, production-grade software that operates in real-world energy systems. 

Responsibilities:

  • Architect, develop, and maintain full-stack software systems supporting energy and grid-connected products. 
  • Build high-performance backend services and APIs using C, Go, and/or Rust for control, data ingestion, and orchestration. 
  • Develop user-facing applications and internal tools that surface device health, telemetry, and system insights. 
  • Design and implement software that runs reliably on Linux-based edge devices as well as in cloud environments. 
  • Work with and improve Linux build systems (e.g., Make, CMake, Bazel, Yocto/Buildroot) for repeatable, reproducible builds. 
  • Integrate software with embedded systems, real-time data pipelines, and hardware control layers. 
  • Own software quality through testing, code reviews, CI/CD integration, and production monitoring. 
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to define system requirements, interfaces, and long-term technical direction. 
  • Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership on architecture, performance, and reliability.  

Qualifications 

  • Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. 
  • 2+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of complex systems. 
  • Strong proficiency in C, Go, and/or Rust, with the ability to reason about memory, concurrency, and performance. 
  • Solid experience developing on Linux, including debugging, profiling, and systems-level development. 
  • Hands-on experience with Linux build systems such as Make, CMake, Bazel, Yocto, or Buildroot. 
  • Experience building and operating backend services, APIs, and data pipelines. 
  • Familiarity with modern software development practices: version control, CI/CD, testing, and code review. 
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively across software, hardware, and infrastructure teams. 

Bonus Qualifications 

  • Experience in the energy, power electronics, industrial, or embedded systems domains. 
  • Knowledge of real-time systems, distributed systems, or high-availability architectures. 
  • Experience with time-series data, telemetry systems, or control systems. 

Work Environment 

  • Occasional travel (up to 20%) may be required, including international travel. 

Please note: This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
