Job Description
We are looking for an experienced Systems & Protocol Engineer to join an innovative R&D project for a client in the energy industry. You will help build highly reliable edge systems for real-time, low-latency operations — designed to function without constant cloud connectivity. This role is ideal for hands-on engineers who enjoy working close to the hardware and network layers, creating fast, deterministic, and robust systems.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and implement efficient binary protocols over TCP
- Build and maintain deterministic state machines and runtime logic (Go)
- Develop components for fallback operations, event replay, and offline mode
- Ensure resilient execution on edge devices (no cloud dependency)
- Work with custom binary stream decoding, data compression, and telemetry
- Deploy and monitor distributed Linux-based systems using containers (Docker/Podman)
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate with EVs, batteries, chargers, and grid APIs
Nice to Have:
- Experience with ZeroMQ, protobuf, or disk-buffered logs
- Knowledge of power markets, smart grid protocols, or low-latency trading systems
- Familiarity with EV charging APIs, batteries, or energy devices
- Experience with TimescaleDB or other time-series databases
- Ability to write scripting/integration logic in Python when needed
Required qualifications
- Strong experience in Go (or Rust/C for low-level logic)
- Solid understanding of TCP/IP protocols, binary formats, and real-time processing
- Experience building mission-critical Linux systems
- Familiarity with Docker or Podman, edge deployment, system observability
- Ability to write clean, efficient, and maintainable code
- Fluent English (spoken and written)
- Must be located in Poland
- Must have an active sole proprietorship (jednoosobowa działalność gospodarcza) registered in Poland
What We Offer:
- Participation in an ambitious R&D project for a leading energy sector client
- Long-term cooperation on a B2B basis
Benefits
- 100% remote work
- A flat structure and direct impact on product direction
- Work with modern, performance-critical tech in a hands-on engineering team
