Company Overview
Amperesand is reinventing how the world powers its most critical systems.
We are facing a once-in-a-generation opportunity for infrastructure disruption. Electricity demand is skyrocketing, driven by AI factories, electric vehicles, and modern industrial growth. Energy supply is shifting to incorporate a more diverse mix of resources – including solar, gas, and batteries – at a massive scale.
And yet the power infrastructure behind our latest mega-projects hasn’t meaningfully changed in nearly 100 years. Supply chains for today’s infrastructure equipment can’t match the pace and sophistication of critical energy projects. Ampersand is building hardware and software that rewrites this broken power infrastructure playbook to support a new era of energy abundance.
We’ve built a new class of intelligent, software-defined power infrastructure products leveraging a decade of advanced medium voltage Solid State Transformer research that’s now ready for commercial deployment.
Our products and solutions go far beyond the capabilities of traditional electrical equipment. We make power systems that are faster to deploy, dramatically smaller and more efficient, and capable of supporting modern, dynamic energy needs for tomorrow’s most demanding energy consumers.
Scalable in-house advanced manufacturing capability is our foundation for meeting timeline and quality expectation to serve infrastructure customers around the world.
Amperesand is led by breakthrough energy hardware development veterans and funded by top tier investors who share our vision of building a category-defining energy technology company.
With hubs in San Francisco, Reno, and Singapore, our global team is laser focused on building foundational technology to solve the most pressing problems in power infrastructure at scale.
Join us in building the power foundation of the future!
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.
