Job summary

Battalion Energy is seeking a Senior/Principal Software Engineer to own the EMS and control platform. You will design, build, test, and release production Rust software, with autonomy across major deployments.

You will collaborate with CTO and engineers, mentoring others while advancing architectural decisions and robust engineering practices. Hybrid work in Bend, OR or Austin, TX is supported.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of software engineering experience with complex production systems.
• Hands-on Rust experience and systems programming depth in areas such as concurrency, memory, timing, or failure handling.
• A passion for writing clear, well-tested software that behaves reliably in production, along with curiosity about energy, physical systems, and AI data center infrastructure.
• Experience collaborating with software and project delivery teams to turn complex customer requirements into reliable, maintainable production software.
• The ability to work independently, seek context when needed, and discuss technical disagreements constructively.
• An interest in mentoring and reviewing code. Formal people management experience is not required.
• Thoughtful use of AI development tools, with responsibility for understanding, reviewing, and testing the code you ship.

Responsibilities

• Design and build production Rust software for the EMS, taking ownership from technical design through implementation, testing, and release.
• Work directly with project teams implementing customer systems to understand requirements, equipment integration needs, and operational constraints.
• Translate those needs into well-designed, reusable platform features and reliable production code, clarifying tradeoffs and validating the result with project teams.
• Improve reliability, performance, diagnostics, and maintainability as the platform serves more sites and applications.
• Participate in architecture discussions and code reviews, explain tradeoffs clearly, and document decisions that others need to understand.
• Help interview and onboard engineers, mentor colleagues, and strengthen shared development practices while remaining primarily hands-on.
