Software Engineer

Who We Are! Elementl Power Inc. is an advanced nuclear project developer and independent power producer, building scalable pathways for clean, resilient energy. We break the stalemate in advanced nuclear deployment by delivering turnkey development, financing, and ownership solutions ? empowering customers to access nuclear power without the burden of operating assets. The Opportunity. We're excited to add a Software Engineer to our growing AI and IT team! Reporting to the VP of AI & IT, you'll serve as Elementl's primary software builder ? designing, building, deploying, and operating the agents, data pipelines, and internal applications that turn the company's data into a measurable advantage across our portfolio of nuclear development projects. This is a hands-on, full-stack engineering role. Claude Code is the primary day-to-day engineering environment. You'll spend most of the week building: standing up agents on Google Cloud using the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) and wiring those agents to operational source systems. You own the full delivery path ? Terraform-based infrastructure as code on GCP, GitHub Actions CI/CD, secrets management, logging, monitoring, alerting, cost controls, and the security guardrails that keep agent systems auditable in a federally regulated nuclear development context. Where IT operations need automation, you're the technical builder, partnering with the IT Operations Lead on requirements and audit evidence. What You'll Do! AI Agents and Applications

• Design, build, deploy, and monitor production AI agents using the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) on GCP and the Claude CoWork ecosystem.
• Build agents that read from and write to the operational systems the company depends on daily.
• Ship a portfolio of Claude plugins.
• Build and operate AI usage monitoring across the company ? token consumption, adoption, leaderboards, and the impact metrics that feed executive reporting.

Data Platform and Integrations

• Land and model priority operational source systems into the data lake with documented data dictionaries and freshness SLAs.
• Build the integration surface ? MCP servers, APIs, event triggers, scheduled jobs, and ETL pipelines.
• Stand up and maintain executive Power BI dashboards on top of various data sources.
• Design and build function-specific AI agents that combine the data lake with operational systems.

Cloud Infrastructure, DevOps, and Platform Engineering

• Own all GCP infrastructure as code in Terraform.
• Operate the GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline for every system built: automated tests, security scans, environment promotion, and rollback.
• Stand up and own logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, and cost monitoring for all agent and data systems in GCP, with on-call expectations appropriate to a small team.
• Maintain a clean, auditable software supply chain.

Security, Compliance, and IT Automation

• Partner with the IT Operations Lead on technical implementation of security monitoring, log aggregation, and identity automation.
• Build automation that produces audit and export-control evidence: access reviews, audit logs, and configuration baselines.
• Implement controlled data handling in data systems consistent with 10 CFR Part 810.
• Enforce least-privilege access, MFA, conditional access, and segregation of controlled data in every system you build.

Engineering Practice

• Use Claude Code as the primary engineering environment for planning, implementation, refactoring, code review, runbook automation, and incident response.
• Write code that is testable, observable, and small enough for the next engineer to understand quickly.
• Maintain a running engineering wiki of architecture decisions, runbooks, and skill templates.
• Operate the engineering function with the discipline of a regulated industry: pull request review, documented change management, environment separation, and incident postmortems.
• Continuously stay abreast of advancements in AI best practices.

Requirements What We're Looking for & Who You Are! You typically bring 5+ years of professional software engineering experience; exceptional candidates with less experience and a strong Claude Code or agent portfolio will be considered. You have demonstrable production experience with:

• Claude Code (or Codex or similar) as a primary development tool ? custom skills, agent workflows, and MCP servers ? and you can walk through and explain your decisions end to end
• Designing, deploying, and operating production LLM agents, including tool and function calling, retrieval, evaluation, observability, cost control, and failure handling; LangGraph or equivalent agent framework experience required, with willingness to standardize on Google ADK
• Hands-on GCP in production, and working familiarity with Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, Outlook, Microsoft Graph API) and Azure (Entra ID, core services)
• Production Terraform including module design, state management, and CI/CD integration, sufficient to stand up new GCP environments end to end independently
• GitHub Actions or equivalent CI/CD with automated testing, environment promotion, secrets handling, rollback, and on-call ownership
• Strong Python as the primary implementation language for agents, data pipelines, and automation
• Landing data from operational systems into a warehouse, modeling it, and exposing it to downstream BI and AI systems

You have a track record of shipping systems other people depend on ? with the testing, observability, documentation, and change-management discipline that implies. You're comfortable presenting architecture and trade-offs to the VP of AI & IT, the CFO, and occasionally the board. It Would Be Great If:

• You have energy industry exposure ? especially nuclear ? including prior work at an NRC licensee, DOE, advanced reactor developer, EPC, utility, or national lab; or adjacent experience in large-scale utility, transmission, oil and gas, or renewables at an IPP.
• You have hands-on experience in regulated environments operating under FedRAMP, CMMC, export controls (10 CFR Part 810), or comparable regimes.
• You have prior experience as the sole or early engineer at a startup, or as the first AI hire at a larger organization.
• You're familiar with MCP server development and the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK).
• You have experience integrating with Primavera P6, NetSuite, Procore, Aconex, Documentum, or Cobblestone CLM.
• You have SharePoint Framework (SPFx), TypeScript, JSX, or Microsoft Graph API experience.
• You have Power Automate, PowerShell, or other Microsoft automation experience.
• You have public open-source contributions, Claude skills or plugins, or published material on agent engineering.
• You're familiar with at least one statically typed language such as Go, TypeScript, or Java.

The systems you build will determine whether Elementl can turn its data into operational advantage and engage with the regulators, investors, and counterparties that advanced nuclear development demands. If you're ready to be the engineer who builds that foundation, we'd love to hear from you!
