Senior DevOps Engineer

About Terawatt Infrastructure

The once-in-a-century transition to autonomous and electric vehicles is underway and will require a multi-trillion-dollar investment in energy and charging infrastructure, and the real estate to site it on. Terawatt is the leader in delivering large-scale, turnkey charging solutions for companies rapidly deploying AV and EV fleets. Whether it’s an urban mobility hub or a carefully located multi-fleet hub for semi-trucks, Terawatt brings the talent, capabilities, and capital to create reliable, cost-effective solutions for customers on the leading edge of the transition to the next generation of transport.

With a growing portfolio of sites across the US in urban hubs and along key logistics and transportation corridors and logistics hubs, Terawatt is building the permanent transportation and logistics infrastructure of tomorrow through a robust combination of capital, real estate, development, and site operations solutions. The company develops, finances, owns, and operates charging solutions that take the cost and complexity out of electrifying fleets.

At Terawatt, we execute humbly and with urgency to provide tailored solutions for fleets that delight our clients and support the transition of transportation.

Our Technology

Terawatt is not a traditional infrastructure operator. Our technology platform transforms a portfolio of sites into a reliable, intelligent network — through advanced power management, operational optimization, and data-driven systems that back our customers with hard performance guarantees. That's what makes us a de-risked operator and a category-defining company.

We sit at a rare intersection: software, hardware, real estate, energy systems, and live site operations. The work is concrete and the stakes are real. Code you write today runs physical infrastructure tomorrow. You'll build systems that orchestrate megawatts of power across hundreds of chargers, ingest millions of telemetry events per day, and keep autonomous fleets, rideshare vehicles, and heavy-duty trucks moving — in real time.
