What youll work on
Day-to-day that means
- Integrations with partners:Your primary focus is seamlessly integrating various cloud providers into our ecosystem. This involves implementing and maintaining Go services that abstract away provider-specific edge cases allowing us to reliably gather measurements and send control commands. Youll work closely with API specs frequently leveraging AI coding tools to accelerate your implementation and review cycles.
- Fast scaling:Youll engineer solutions for a fast-scaling platform handling around 20.000 cloud-connected assets. With our managed fleet growing over 80% the past 6 months youll play a critical role in designing architecture that handles heavy telemetry and real-time control at scale.
- Cross-team Collaboration:The Cloud Connector is the critical bridge connecting physical devices to gridXs wider platform architecture. Youll build the cloud integrations that link assets to our platform ingest asset data for various services and route real-time execution commands back to the assets via cloud providers.
We use AI-assisted and agentic coding workflows extensively from code generation and review to spec analysis and test creation. Youll be expected to leverage these tools effectively and help actively shape our evolving engineering culture.
- Implementing new cloud integrationsbased on API documentation OAuth specifications and webhook contracts.
- Evolving the integration frameworkrefactoring event-processing chains migrating data stores and shaping the abstractions that make future integrations simpler.
- Debugging distributed pipeline failuresusing structured logs distributed traces and metrics across OAuth flows webhook processing and event delivery.
