Senior DevOps Engineer

About the role

You will own the reliability and performance of the core systems that power our distributed EV charging infrastructure across the United States. You will design and operate the software and infrastructure that turns a portfolio of real-world charging sites into a single intelligent and resilient network. You will work closely with product, hardware, and operations teams to ensure that the systems we build meet strict uptime and performance guarantees for our customers. You will implement the data pipelines and monitoring that provide insight into millions of telemetry events generated by chargers in the field. You will ensure that our infrastructure can scale reliably as we rapidly expand our footprint and deploy new capabilities. You will play a key role in bridging the gap between cloud-native software practices and the physical constraints of power systems and site operations. You will contribute to a culture of ownership, rigor, and continuous improvement across the engineering organization. You will help define the architectural direction of the platform while maintaining the highest standards of security, observability, and reliability.
