Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Statistics, or related field.
  • 5+ years in a data-focused or operations-focused role (Data Analyst, Operations Analyst, Site Reliability Analyst, or similar) where triage, prioritization, or incident response was a core responsibility.
  • Proficiency in SQL and Python for querying telemetry data and automating triage workflows.
  • Demonstrated experience designing prioritization frameworks, alerting logic, or triage pipelines in high-signal environments.
  • Strong analytical judgment for distinguishing meaningful signal from noise in noisy, real-world data.
  • Excellent written communication, with a track record of producing concise, structured issue summaries and postmortem documents.
  • Comfort facilitating cross-functional discussions, including blameless postmortems with engineering, firmware, and operations stakeholders.
Responsibilities
  • Own and operate Gridware's fleet triage pipeline for device health issues, intaking signals from telemetry, monitoring, field reports, and customer feedback, and routing them through a tiered prioritization framework.
  • Define and continuously tune detection logic, thresholds, and alerting rules that distinguish signal from noise across device health, connectivity, configuration, and environmental data.
  • Maintain a tiered triage approach (P0–P3) with clear entry criteria, SLAs, ownership, and escalation paths across hardware, firmware, and connectivity stakeholders.
  • Build dashboards and queries that surface emerging trends — shifts in last-seen, connectivity degradation, configuration drift, anomalous failure clusters — before they reach incident severity.
  • Investigate ambiguous fleet signals to determine scope, impact, and likely owner across the Gridscope and connectivity hardware programs; produce structured triage write-ups that enable fast cross-functional action.
  • Lead postmortems end-to-end: facilitate blameless reviews, reconstruct incident timelines, drive root cause analysis, and own action items through to closure.
  • Track triage and incident metrics (time-to-detect, time-to-acknowledge, false positive rate, repeat-issue rate) and use them to iterate on the pipeline.
  • Document triage playbooks, runbooks, and decision trees so the process scales beyond any one person.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience leading postmortems or incident reviews for IoT fleets, distributed systems, or large-scale hardware deployments.
  • Familiarity with Databricks, PySpark, Pandas, and observability tools (Looker, Grafana, Datadog).
  • Exposure to time-series telemetry, anomaly detection, and SLO/SLA design.
  • Experience with power-constrained, solar-powered, or communication-constrained connected devices.
  • A passion for sustainability, clean tech, or the energy industry.

Gridware provides a sensor-based platform that monitors electrical grid assets in real time by placing sensors on power poles. Real-time data from pole-mounted sensors is sent to analytics that detect imminent faults and wildfire hazards, enabling preventive maintenance. It differentiates itself with pole-mounted hardware and predictive analytics aimed specifically at reducing wildfire risk in wildfire-prone regions. Its goal is to improve public safety and grid reliability while lowering outages and wildfire-related liabilities for utilities.

Gridware raises $55M to expand grid monitoring sensors to UK

Gridware, which makes sensors to evaluate electrical grid integrity and monitor power line hazards, has raised $55 million in a Series B round led by Al Gore's Generation Investment Management. The startup, which emerged from the CITRIS Foundry in spring 2020, plans to expand into Europe, beginning with the United Kingdom. The company's technology has reduced outages by up to 70% in some cases by preventing failures in advance or accelerating restoration after storms, according to CEO Tim Barat. The expansion comes as Ofgem, Great Britain's energy regulator, pursues an £80 billion network upgrade to accommodate increasing renewable power sources and surging data centre demand. Gridware's operational efficiency improvements aim to offset rising network expenses associated with the infrastructure upgrades.
