Senior Software Engineer - Devops/Infrastructure Engineer

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

You will shape the infrastructure layer of the intelligent grid, starting at the transformer. You will architect and manage hybrid infrastructure across edge Linux devices, cloud platforms, and internal systems. You will own DevOps from the edge to the cloud and support CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, secure OTA updates, and container orchestration. The role also manages monitoring, logging, alerting, and cloud security. You will work alongside software, hardware, and AI teams on high-impact, cross-functional projects to optimize performance and reliability.

Responsibilities:

• Architect and manage hybrid infrastructure across edge Linux devices, cloud platforms (e.g. AWS), and internal systems.

• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for deploying firmware, edge applications, ML models, and cloud services.

• Set up and manage monitoring, logging, and alerting systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Loki) for high speed data applications.

• Automate provisioning and configuration of edge devices using tools like Ansible, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes.

• Support secure OTA (over-the-air) updates, container orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code.

• Implement networking, access controls, and cloud security best practices for sensitive energy data.

• Collaborate with software, data, and AI teams to optimize infrastructure for performance and reliability

• Lay out a strategy for cloud data management strategy for internal and external stakeholders.

Qualifications:

• Relevant education background (Graduation/Masters/PhD in Computer Science, Electrical engineering) or equivalent understanding of the Operating systems, Software Design principles, Foundational knowledge of hardware to build software systems.

• 5+ years of DevOps, SRE, or Infra Engineering experience in a hybrid (edge + cloud) environment.

• Proficiency in containerization (Docker) and orchestration tools (Kubernetes, Helm).

• Hands-on experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible) and CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Argo).

• Comfortable working on Linux systems, especially in constrained edge environments (e.g. Jetson, Raspberry Pi).

• Strong grasp of networking fundamentals, VPNs, and TLS cert management.

• Bonus: Experience with IoT platforms, ML ops pipelines, or high-availability energy systems.

• Ability to travel up to 20% including internationally
