Futura Energy Group is partnered with a pioneering cybersecurity startup focused on securing the modern energy grid. As energy demand surges and distributed energy resources (DERs) like solar, batteries, EV chargers, and natural gas generators become widespread, the grid is more resilient—but also more complex and vulnerable to cyber threats. 



An opportunity to be involved building the first fully decentralized, zero-trust cybersecurity platform to ensure every connection within the grid is secure, resilient, and verifiable.


Role Overview:

We’re seeking a Founding Engineer to shape the architecture, development, and maintenance of software solutions for DERs. This is a hands-on role with direct influence over product development. 



Responsibilities include:

Designing and developing scalable software from zero-to-one
Engaging with customers to gather requirements and feedback
Iterating rapidly on features using Rust (or C/C++ for embedded/distributed systems)
Working on network communications protocols (QUIC, TCP/IP, UDP)
Contributing to product strategy and technical direction


Qualifications:

BS (MS/PhD preferred) in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Math, or related field
5+ years of software engineering experience (cybersecurity or energy experience preferred)
Proficiency in Rust (preferred) or C/C++
Experience with embedded systems and distributed software
Comfort with ambiguity, rapid iteration, and high-impact problem-solving
US citizenship required


This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of energy and cybersecurity, building critical infrastructure technology from the ground up. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and want to help secure America’s energy future, this role is for you.
