Most Python software runs in the cloud and moves data around.This role is different. Your code runs inside someone''s home, talks to their solar and battery inverter and EV charger in real time, and decides when to buy and sell electricity on the National Electricity Market. Every line you write has a direct physical consequence.Reposit Power deploys a proprietary Linux controller to thousands of Australian homes. It''s the distributed brain of a virtual power plant coordinating solar panels, batteries, EV chargers and smart appliances to trade energy on behalf of customers. We''re now doing early work on vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology using parked electric vehicles as gridscale batteries that can buy and sell electricity while sitting in the driveway. We''re a small, experienced team looking for engineers who want deep technical ownership and are excited to learn the hardware and electricity systems side of the problem.WHAT YOU''LL WORK ONPython-based electricity trading software running on ARM Debian Linux in the fieldReal-time control logic that drives solar inverters, battery systems, EV chargers, hot water and AC units via Modbus we''ll teach you the protocolEarly-stage vehicle-to-grid (V2G) development bidirectional charging that turns parked EVs into dispatchable grid assetsSystem-level Linux work: networking (IPv4/IPv6), state management with Salt, connection management via connmanHardware communication via UARTs, I2C and similar interfaces closer to the metal than most Python rolesSoftware that has to work reliably in the field, unsupervised, at scaleWHAT WE''RE LOOKING FORStrong Python and Linux the hardware and energy knowledge we can teachSolid Python engineering: you care about correctness, performance and maintainabilityComfortable on Linux at the system level processes, networking, services, filesystemsExperience with deployed software that runs without supervision in production environmentsCuriosity about how things work at the hardware level you don''t need embedded experience, but you shouldn''t be put off by itAny exposure to IoT, industrial systems, home automation or energy is a genuine bonusWHAT WE OFFERHigh ownership on a small team your engineering decisions shape the productThe chance to build genuine expertise in electricity systems, grid markets and energy hardware skills that are becoming increasingly valuableTechnically unusual problems that don''t come up in typical backend or DevOps rolesCanberra base with genuine hybrid flexibilityCompetitive salary commensurate with experience#J-18808-Ljbffr
