Verse
Senior Software Engineer, Fleet Telemetry & Control
Verse, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Job Description
Location:
San Francisco, CA (Remote / Hybrid Available)
What is Verse? Organizations today are under growing pressure to navigate the transition to clean energy — not just to meet sustainability goals, but to manage risk, control costs, and build long-term resilience. Yet the complexity of energy markets and a lack of accessible tools have made it difficult for most companies to take meaningful action. Verse was created to change that.
Our mission is to make the case for clean energy irrefutable. Through our AI-powered platform, Aria, we help organizations plan, procure, and operate clean energy to achieve their financial and sustainability goals. Verse transforms clean energy ambition into action — giving businesses the clarity and confidence to lead in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.
The Role As a Software Engineer focused on Fleet Telemetry & Control at Verse, you will be working closely with our energy solutions partners to design, implement, and test distributed energy resource controls and telemetry software on customer hardware at sites around the world. You will be part of a dynamic, high-performance team building applications directly on bare-metal or on hardware-level virtualization platforms. As an advanced technical leader in network programming and state management development, engineering teams will look to you for best standards and practices for interfacing with on‑premises grid assets using solutions you will build and maintain.
Key Responsibilities
Foster a culture and mindset of well‑designed systems, test‑driven software, and transparent communication with a high caliber of mutual respect and consideration for stakeholders
Mentor and support career and junior level engineers in their fleet telemetry and control software career development
Collaborate closely with energy solutions providers on their proprietary hardware and on‑premises software stacks
Design, implement, and test software for supervisory distributed energy resource control and telemetry applications with heterogeneous OEM hardware, sensor / actuator networks, and remote terminal units
Develop high‑performance, production‑grade applications optimized for resource‑ and bandwidth‑constrained environments
Provide specifications for over‑the‑air (OTA) update of on‑prem software and remote access solutions for customers
Implement and enforce best security practices for critical infrastructure and cyber‑physical systems
What We're Looking For (Minimum Qualifications)
At least 5+ years of experience working directly on bare metal applications
Advanced Rust programming knowledge
Technical leadership and commitment to delivering high quality software on time or ahead of schedule, and adhering to best software development practices
Comfortable working with scripting languages such as Shell or Python (understanding of Rust bindings for Python or similar a big plus)
Advanced knowledge of communications solutions at all layers (L1‑L7) in the OSI networking model
Hands‑on exposure to lightweight database engines such as SQLite, LevelDB, or similar
Familiarity with SCADA systems, industrial automation software, PLCs, microcontrollers, and finite state machines
Hardened security mindset with extensive experience in one or more technologies such as public key infrastructure, encryption, cryptography, and data privacy
What Will Make You Standout (Preferred Qualifications)
A bachelor's degree or higher in a STEM field
Proficient with electric power systems and bulk electricity grid hardware (e.g. transmission, distribution, generation, storage)
Comfortable building software on the Intel Atom family of processors or similar low‑powered CPU environments
Working knowledge applying first principles of model‑predictive control, optimal control, robotics, and / or reinforcement learning
Deep knowledge working with Modbus TCP or similar L5‑L7 application layer networking protocol
Technical proficiency working with industrial SCADA communications protocols such as DNP3 and the IEC 60870 and 61850 family of protocols
Experience building resilient, fault tolerant applications on inherently unreliable / mesh networks with Ethernet, Wi‑Fi, Zigbee, 4G / 5G cellular, broadband, fiber, or satellite links
Experience with one or more battery energy storage technologies from Tesla, Sungrow, LG / NEC, or Fluence
What Makes Verse a Great Place to Work?
Lead with Empathy : We lift each other up with humility and kindness, always putting colleagues and customers first
Be Honest & Transparent : We prioritize effective communication to build trust with our team, customers, and stakeholders
Move with Balance & Precision : We believe speed and perseverance must be accompanied by thoughtfulness and reflection
Leave the World a Better Place : We are passionate about our mission, and we strive to create a sustainable world for future generations
Base Pay Range $160,000 - $194,000
This is the estimated base salary range for this position, which does not include the value of benefits or a potential equity grant. A wide range of factors are considered in making compensation decisions, including but not limited to level, skill sets, market conditions, experience and training, licensure and certifications, and business and organizational needs.
Benefits and Employee Perks
Competitive compensation and equity grant at a high‑growth start up
Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental and vision insurance, and 401k
Flexible hours and unlimited PTO
Diverse and inclusive working environment
