Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Antora Energy develops thermal batteries that provide reliable heat and power for industry, data centers, and the grid. The Senior / Staff Software Engineer will own real-time cloud infrastructure connecting software systems to physical hardware, manage AWS infrastructure, advance AI-first development workflows, and build reliable internal platform capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Own the full data path from the edge, through streaming ingestion, into the warehouse, and back out to asset dispatch
- You’ll define service-level objectives, build freshness and gap detection, and ensure silent data loss becomes an actionable alert—not something discovered in a report a week later
- Own and evolve our AWS footprint across multiple accounts using Terraform
- You’ll operate containerized services on ECS and Lambda and manage orchestration, networking, secrets, access controls, and supporting infrastructure. You’ll design systems with failure modes, blast radius, observability, capacity, and recovery in mind from the beginning
- You’ll build the systems that make agent-authored changes safe at scale, including fast and trustworthy CI, hermetic test infrastructure, preview environments, progressive delivery, and automated guardrails
- You’ll also establish the cost controls and verification workflows that allow autonomous development systems to operate without requiring a person to supervise every step
- Participate in the on-call rotation for systems that dispatch instructions to a physical plant
- You’ll build the observability, alerting, and response processes needed to identify problems before they affect field operations. You’ll also define clear escalation paths across cloud infrastructure, site controls, and our market operations desk
- Treat infrastructure as an internal product. Create self-service tools, paved paths, and platform capabilities that help engineers ship safely without unnecessary friction
- You’ll set standards where consistency matters while avoiding process for process’s sake
Skills
- You have several years of experience building and operating cloud infrastructure at scale, with strong expertise in AWS, Terraform, containers, and CI/CD
- You have carried primary on-call responsibility for a production system that mattered
- You have also planned and completed at least one zero-downtime migration involving a stateful, always-on service
- You have worked in industrial technology, energy, robotics, automotive, or another environment where software failures have tangible operational consequences
- You have built self-service tooling that engineers chose to adopt—not simply tooling they were required to use
- You understand how to balance standardization, usability, and developer autonomy
- You have strong coding skills in Python, Go, or both
- You do more than provision infrastructure: you write and operate the software that keeps systems reliable
- You use AI coding tools regularly and have a thoughtful perspective on where they work well, where they fail, and how their output should be reviewed and verified
- You can distinguish between a safeguard that prevents a meaningful failure and a process that only creates friction
- You design controls proportionate to the risks involved
- A strong systems engineer who is excited to learn the plant and operational technology side of the business can thrive in this role
- Work Location: Remote / US based
- Deep experience with industrial protocols is valuable but not required
- Experience with industrial and operational technology protocols, including MQTT or Sparkplug B
- Familiarity with platforms such as HiveMQ, NATS, Ignition, or industrial historians
- Experience operating across strict OT/IT boundaries
- Experience with air-gapped or intermittently connected environments
- Expertise in time-series or high-cardinality data at scale
- Experience with ClickHouse, Dagster, or streaming ingestion systems
- Experience building developer tooling specifically for AI coding agents
- Familiarity with sandboxing, AI cost governance, or agent-readable test output
- Experience with energy markets, dispatch systems, or grid-connected assets
Benefits
- Equity compensation in the form of stock options
- A premium health benefits package with life and disability insurance
- A 401K plan with employer contributions
- Flexible spending accounts
- An industry leading paid-time-off policy that features flexible and inclusive holiday observance
- Paid volunteer time off
