Strobe | Software Engineer

Location: Brooklyn, NYC | ONSITE | Full-time

Salary: $120k–$250k + equity

About the Role

We’re building a distributed, software-defined power plant: buildings, batteries, EVs, and on-site generation buying and selling power in real time. Think cloud control plane + embedded hardware + energy markets.

Small, high-performing team. No layers. You’ll own systems end-to-end: design → deploy → on-call.

We’re looking for fungible generalists, not narrow specialists.

Responsibilities

Depending on fit, you might work on:

  • Telemetry & control over unreliable networks
  • Embedded Linux / RTUs (Modbus, BACnet, DNP3)
  • Market-facing systems and optimization
  • Operator UIs with real-time streams (React)

Requirements

  • Strong production experience
  • Systems mindset, bias to shipping
  • Willing to be onsite 5 days/week at Newlab (Brooklyn Navy Yard)
  • Not remote

Skills

Strong fit if you’re comfortable with:

  • AWS-heavy backend work (Lambda, APIs, GraphQL, data pipelines)
  • Operating real-time production systems
  • Python / TypeScript (Rust a plus)

Additional Information

Fast pace, direct feedback, real ownership. This is not a 9–5.
