We work with enterprises and fast-growing companies to implement AI strategy, workflow automation, and build custom software. Not as a vendor, but as a genuine partner with skin in the game.\nWe move at a pace most businesses have never experienced, and we hold ourselves to a standard most agencies can't match. We don't pitch solutions. We sit with our clients, understand where they're stuck, and build the systems that get them unstuck. Quickly and properly.\nThe work is the kind engineers actually want: agent-first platforms running national field operations at around 90% automation, electric vehicle operating systems for everything from cars to trucks and buses, AI making real operational decisions in regulated industries, and rescues of platforms other teams couldn't deliver. And for the right businesses we go further. We unlock them: we build new products we come up with together, and we bring in capital through equity or debt to fund the growth those initiatives create.\nOur founders have built energy flex markets, led transactions of billion-dollar businesses, and built software agencies that consistently deliver engineers in the top 3% globally. That pedigree shapes how we think, how we work, and what we expect from the people who join us.\nThe role\nOur software doesn't stop at the cloud. It runs on batteries, chargers, meters and vehicles in the field, places with gloves, weather and intermittent connectivity. Electric vehicle operating systems for everything from cars to trucks and buses. Distributed energy assets that need to respond to a dispatch signal in seconds, whether or not the site's internet is having a good day.\nYou'll build the edge layer: device software, connectivity, fleet management and the local smarts that keep things working when the link drops. You'll own the unglamorous, critical problems: OTA updates that can't brick a fleet, protocols that were designed decades before the cloud existed, and telemetry that has to be trustworthy because real decisions ride on it.\nWhat you will do\nDesign and build edge software for devices in the field: batteries, EV chargers, meters, gateways\nIntegrate device protocols (Modbus, CAN, MQTT, OCPP and vendor-specific APIs) into our platforms\nBuild fleet management capability: provisioning, monitoring, OTA updates that are safe at scale\nDesign for intermittent connectivity: local decision logic, buffering, graceful degradation and recovery\nGet device telemetry flowing reliably into cloud ingestion pipelines\nWork with OEMs and hardware partners to bring new device types onto the platforms\nWhat you bring - Required\nStrong experience building software that runs on or talks to physical devices in production\nDepth in a systems language (Go, C/C++, Rust or Python on constrained targets)\nReal experience with device protocols and messaging (MQTT, Modbus, CAN or similar)\nUnderstanding of fleet operations: provisioning, monitoring, safe remote updates\nPragmatism about hardware realities: flaky networks, power cycles, vendor firmware quirks\nStrongly preferred\nEnergy device experience: inverters, batteries, EV charging (OCPP), metering\nLinux on embedded/edge targets and containerised edge deployment\nCloud IoT platform experience (AWS IoT or similar)\nFlex market and energy systems experience is always a big bonus\nNice to have\nElectrical or power systems literacy\nSecurity hardening for field-deployed devices\nWhy this role\nThis is the layer where software meets the physical world, and where most teams fall over. Get it right and you're the reason thousands of devices behave like one coordinated system. It's hard, it's real, and there aren't many places in the country doing it at this level.\nWhat you get\nA competitive package that reflects the calibre we hire at\nAccess to every AI tool on the market (as long as it has passed security) with team support and budget to get you set up and moving fast\nHard, interesting problems: real AI in production, real scale, real consequences. Not demos and decks\nDirect access to some of the most experienced operators in the country\nA team that will stretch you, back you, and make you better\nThe interview process\nOur process is straightforward and moves fast: a short video interview (we know engineers hate this - the only people who don't hate it are in sales - but it's an important and necessary step, and if you can't push outside your comfort zone, you're not going to fit in here), then a technical deep-dive on real problems, not puzzles, then a final conversation with the founders. We move quickly for the right person.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4649,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T13:16:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.155,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":96,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","ghost","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/10xlabs-edge-iot-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/10xlabs-edge-iot-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T15:39:47Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23825,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4418504},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4418504"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2F10xlabs-edge-iot-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2F10xlabs-edge-iot-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2F10xlabs-edge-iot-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/10xlabs-edge-iot-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2F10xlabs-edge-iot-engineer"}]}
