• Build robust APIs for real-time data collection, system monitoring, and performance optimization
• Implement event-driven systems to handle high-frequency data streams from battery storage systems
• Develop data pipelines for analytics, predictive maintenance, and system optimization
• Ensure high availability, security, and performance of cloud infrastructure

Hardware Integration & Control Systems

• Develop software interfaces to control and monitor battery energy storage hardware
• Implement communication protocols (Modbus, CAN bus, RS485, MQTT) for hardware integration
• Create real-time monitoring and control systems for battery management
• Build firmware integration layers and handle over-the-air (OTA) updates
• Develop safety-critical software systems with appropriate fail-safes and error handling

Frontend Development

• Build intuitive user interfaces for system monitoring, control, and analytics
• Develop customer-facing dashboards showing real-time system performance
• Create mobile-responsive applications for field technicians and customers
• Implement data visualization tools for energy flow, system health, and performance metrics

System Integration & DevOps

• Collaborate with hardware engineering teams to define software requirements
• Implement CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code practices
• Ensure compliance with energy industry standards and safety regulations
• Support commissioning and deployment of systems in the field
