Job Description

Own the full data path from the edge, through streaming ingestion, into the warehouse, and back out to asset dispatch.

Key Responsibilities

Antora Energy is seeking an engineer to own the real-time cloud infrastructure connecting our software systems to physical hardware.
Every five minutes, our software determines how our thermal batteries should charge and discharge. Those decisions must travel reliably through our messaging infrastructure and reach physical assets in the field. In the other direction, plant telemetry flows from the edge into our cloud data warehouse, where it must be complete, timely, and trustworthy enough to support operational decisions and financial trading.
You’ll also own the corporate cloud platform that the rest of the company builds on. While these systems have very different service-level requirements, they share a need for thoughtful architecture, strong operational practices, and reliable tooling.
We’re hiring one person for a scope that many companies divide across multiple teams. This is a high-impact opportunity to establish platform-wide standards, unify observability, and shape our infrastructure and operational strategy from end to end.

Requirements

Deep production infrastructure experience. You have several years of experience building and operating cloud infrastructure at scale, with strong expertise in AWS, Terraform, containers, and CI/CD.
Hands-on site reliability experience. You have carried primary on-call responsibility for a production system that mattered. You have also planned and completed at least one zero-downtime migration involving a stateful, always-on service.
Experience with real-time or physical systems. You have worked in industrial technology, energy, robotics, automotive, or another environment where software failures have tangible operational consequences.
An internal-product mindset. You have built self-service tooling that engineers chose to adopt—not simply tooling they were required to use. You understand how to balance standardization, usability, and developer autonomy.
Strong programming skills. You have strong coding skills in Python, Go, or both. You do more than provision infrastructure: you write and operate the software that keeps systems reliable.
Practical experience with AI development tools. You use AI coding tools regularly and have a thoughtful perspective on where they work well, where they fail, and how their output should be reviewed and verified.
Sound operational judgment. You can distinguish between a safeguard that prevents a meaningful failure and a process that only creates friction. You design controls proportionate to the risks involved.
A willingness to learn across the stack. Deep experience with industrial protocols is valuable but not required. A strong systems engineer who is excited to learn the plant and operational technology side of the business can thrive in this role.
Experience with industrial and operational technology protocols, including MQTT or Sparkplug B
Familiarity with platforms such as HiveMQ, NATS, Ignition, or industrial historians
Experience operating across strict OT/IT boundaries
Experience with air-gapped or intermittently connected environments
Expertise in time-series or high-cardinality data at scale
Experience with ClickHouse, Dagster, or streaming ingestion systems
Experience building developer tooling specifically for AI coding agents
Familiarity with sandboxing, AI cost governance, or agent-readable test output
Experience with energy markets, dispatch systems, or grid-connected assets
