Software Engineer, Systems Engineer

Torus is headquartered in Utah and is expanding manufacturing at our 540,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City called Giga One.
Our mission
is to build the world’s first mesh energy infrastructure — built to unite people and communities through resilient, secure, and intelligent power. We design, engineer, manufacture, install, and support our systems end-to-end, standing behind them throughout their lifecycle. Torus systems help reduce costs, lower emissions, and protect facilities from outages, while strengthening the security and reliability of the broader utility grid.

Torus is committed to American manufacturing, engineering excellence, and building energy systems that last.

At Torus, you will be part of something larger than a single product or technology. Your work will help build energy infrastructure that supports critical systems, industry, and communities for decades to come. We value accountability, collaboration, and clear thinking. We are looking for people who want to solve hard problems and build things that matter.

We are seeking an exceptional Staff Software Engineer with deep backend expertise and an aptitude for technical leadership to help evolve the Torus platform. This is a high-impact role for someone in the top 10% of engineering talent who blends hands-on development with strategic influence—designing and implementing robust, scalable systems that power our hardware-software integration, customer-facing applications, and internal tools.

You'll shape the technical direction of systems that integrate hardware, firmware, cloud infrastructure, and intelligent automation. Working across the full software lifecycle—from R&D to production operations—you'll partner closely with our Lead Architect and cross-functional teams (Product, Design, Firmware, Data Science, Business, Manufacturing) to deliver solutions that power our renewable energy platform. You'll also interface directly with stakeholders and customers to drive real-world impact and innovation.

This role requires someone who can identify technical gaps, champion best practices in cloud-native serverless development, influence technical direction across teams, and take complete ownership of complex initiatives from conception through long-term maintenance. You'll work at the intersection of distributed systems, cloud-native development, IoT orchestration, and emerging AI capabilities.
