You will also play a key role in observability and platform reliability, building and maintaining monitoring and logging solutions with tools like Grafana, Loki, and Prometheus to ensure system performance and resilience. The successful candidate will work closely with our Cloud Security Engineer to enforce security standards, implement best practices, and ensure compliance across the infrastructure stack. This is a highly collaborative position where you’ll partner with engineering teams to deliver reliable environments, automate deployments, and improve developer velocity while staying ahead of modern DevOps and cloud-native practices.

We are seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to design, build, and maintain the infrastructure powering our modern, cloud-native applications. In this role, you will design and implement scalable and secure platforms on AWS, leveraging Kubernetes (EKS) and ArgoCD for GitOps-driven deployments. You’ll be responsible for building and optimizing CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, managing event streaming with Amazon MSK, and maintaining reliable relational databases on RDS. You will own our Infrastructure as Code strategy with Terraform and drive best practices around security, identity management (IdP integrations), and cost optimization.

Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines usingGitHub Actions (GHA), ensuring fast, reliable, and automated software delivery.
Design, build, and maintain scalable, secure, and highly available infrastructure on AWS (EKS, EC2, RDS,MSK, S3, VPC …).
Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize system performance, cost, and reliability using observability tools like Grafana and Loki.
Manage and optimize Kubernetesclusters (EKS) and deploy applications using ArgoCD with GitOps best practices.
Build and support Kafka-based event streaming platforms using Amazon MSK for high-throughput, low-latency data pipelines.
Manage identity and access across platforms with IdP integration (Okta, Auth0, or similar).
Define and manage Infrastructure as Code with Terraform

Company

Overview

$26.4M Series A

Funding Round

Secured significant investment from notable firms including Sequoia, Lowercarbon, and Fifty Years.

70% Outage Reduction

Service Improvement

Customers experienced a dramatic decrease in the duration of power outages thanks to Gridware's technology.

10,000+ Poles

Deployment Scale

The system has been installed across a vast network spanning thousands of poles and miles of power lines.

7× Revenue Growth

Financial Achievement

The company experienced rapid expansion and success in its first year of operation.

Founded by a former lineman and two Berkeley engineers to revolutionize power grid awareness.
Flagship Gridscope device provides edge analytics and alerts even during outages.
Technology integrates multiple types of sensing to detect hazards like fallen limbs.
After a pilot with PG&E, expanded operations across North America.
Physical tests include extreme conditions like live wire cutting to optimize hazard detection.
Combines solar-powered, ruggedized sensors with a cloud-independent analytics system.

Culture + Values

Passion, innovation, and technology align to modernize the power grid.
Pioneering ‘Active Grid Response’—immediate detection, precise localization, detailed identification, outage monitoring.
Developed in partnership with utilities—focused on working alongside linemen.
Built by a lineman for linemen—understands the rigor and commitment required in the field.
Relentlessly committed to giving crews the right tools to get the job done.

Environment + Sustainability

1,000+ miles & 10K+ poles

Gridscope Deployment Scale

Expanded Gridscope sensor deployment covers over 1,000 miles of power lines and 10,000 poles, enhancing wildfire risk mitigation efforts across multiple states.

70% Outage Reduction

Improved Grid Reliability

Gridscope technology has been shown to significantly reduce outage durations by over 70%, enhancing power grid stability and wildfire prevention.

Technology deployed across five U.S. states to reduce wildfire risk via early detection of vegetation and fallen-line hazards.
Continuous environmental stressor measurement (e.g., vibrations from falling branches) enables predictive maintenance and environmental hazard mitigation.
