Plus Power is an energy storage market leader, with a market-leading 10+ GW portfolio across more than 25 states that will transform North American electric grids into cleaner and more versatile critical infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
Plus Power recruits outstanding energy industry professionals who are driven to develop, build and operate assets safely and reliably to decarbonize the power markets while growing their careers. Our team looks for data-driven and fact-based mindsets, engaging and collaborative behaviors, and personal growth-focused professionals .
We are seeking a Senior Platform Engineer to join our technology team, with a focus on backend systems, cloud-native platforms, and data infrastructure. This role is ideal for an engineer who comes from a data platform, backend, or analytics engineering background and has developed deep expertise operating those systems in AWS at scale. It is especially well suited for engineers who have built or operated data platforms and are looking for deeper ownership of the cloud and backend systems that power them.
You will work at the boundary between data platforms, application engineering, and cloud infrastructure, helping Plus Power build reliable, scalable systems that support asset operations, analytics, and power market participation. This is a hands-on role with meaningful technical ownership: you will write production code, shape system architecture, and ensure the systems you build are observable, resilient, and operable in real-world conditions. You will focus on bringing transparency, efficiency, and consistency to our cloud systems, ensuring secure and flexible deployment patterns, and advocating for best practices, all while contributing directly to business-critical solutions.
In this role, your impact goes beyond ticket-based support or reactive operations. You will lead and own solutions end-to-end, from design and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and ongoing evolution. You will be working across disciplines to continuously improve the platforms and systems our teams rely on.
