Build the software that keeps critical infrastructure running where there's no power grid.
We're hiring a full-stack engineer to help build gMS, the cloud platform behind every Gridless unit in the field. A small, focused team means real ownership and a short path from idea to production — plus a toolchain built around AI-assisted development. On-site in Pennsauken, NJ.
About Gridless
Gridless Power Corporation builds off-grid battery power and communications systems for enterprise and government customers. Our units keep security cameras, lights, speakers, and alarms running where grid power isn't practical — construction sites, municipal deployments, schools, retail properties, utility infrastructure, and emergency response operations.
Every unit ships with gMS™, our cloud-based remote management platform. gMS gives customers one view of their entire fleet: site and unit maps, actionable alerts, system performance data, local weather conditions, real-time telemetry, and mobile access. It's what turns our hardware from a battery into an intelligent, remotely serviceable system — and it's why customers troubleshoot from a desk instead of dispatching a technician.
The Role
You'll work across the whole stack: shipping new customer-facing features, improving the interface our customers live in every day, building Python backend services for data analysis and system integration, and developing internal web applications end to end. gMS is built on ThingsBoard, so part of the job is working effectively within — and sometimes around — the constraints of a third-party platform.
This is a role for a pragmatic, ship-it engineer. We're a small team, not a large engineering org: you'll own features from design through deployment, make real architectural calls, and see your code running on hardware deployed in the field.
We've heavily adopted AI-assisted development — Claude Code is a core part of our daily workflow, and we expect it to be how a lean team ships like a much larger one.
