## About the role

Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role. Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

## What they're looking for

- The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would
- You have worked in the protocols that move data between machines and between systems (MQTT, OPC UA, REST APIs) and you can say why you would pick one over another for a given job rather than reaching for whichever one you used last
- You write and read code in at least one language well enough to prototype an integration, test a point map against a live device, and review what the software team ships. Python or Go preferred
- You read a one-line and a panel schedule and can say what the protection, the breakers and the sources will actually do under a fault
- You have designed a data contract between two systems: the objects, the fields, the units, the update rates, and what a consumer does when a value goes stale. You held both sides to it
- You have written the control narrative for a system where two controllers had to agree, and you owned what happened when they disagreed
