Founding Software Engineer - Solitude Labs
About Solitude Labs
At Solitude Labs, our mission is to secure the energy grid. As global energy demand surges, the transition toward efficient, localized generation is no longer optional - it’s essential. The grid is rapidly evolving, with solar panels, batteries, EV chargers, natural gas generators, and other distributed energy resources (DERs) becoming ubiquitous. While this transformation boosts grid resilience, it also introduces complexity and massive cyber vulnerabilities that threaten critical infrastructure operations.
Solitude Labs is building the first completely decentralized, zero-trust cybersecurity platform designed for the distributed grid. Our technology ensures that each connection within the grid is inherently secure, resilient, and verifiable. By eliminating single points of failure and enabling secure communications at scale, we are redefining how energy networks communicate and defend themselves in the evolving grid landscape.
We’re currently working with large electric utilities in the US, national laboratories, and leading cybersecurity and energy organizations to understand their challenges and build solutions that strengthen the security and resilience of the modern energy grid.
What You'll Do
We’re looking for a founding engineer to lead the design, development, and maintenance of software solutions for distributed energy resources. You’ll wear multiple hats in this role – one day you’ll be working on software architecture, the next talking with customers to gather requirements, and then rapidly iterating on product features using Rust. This is a critical role, and you will have a direct influence on product development and the future of the company.
What We're Looking For
BS (MS/PhD preferred) in Computer Science, Computer & Electrical Engineering, Math, or related field
5+ years of software engineering experience (cybersecurity/energy experience preferred)
Proficiency in Rust (preferred), or C/C++, for embedded and distributed systems
Experience working with network communications protocols (QUIC, TCP/IP, UDP)
Proven ability to build software from scratch
Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration
Willingness to grind and work long hours alongside the rest of the team
Must be a US citizen
