The Role
The Company:
Gridmatic is a startup trying to help decarbonize the grid by using deep learning to forecast energy prices. We believe better forecasting can have a real-world impact on energy and climate. As extreme weather events get more common, energy prices become increasingly volatile — for instance, in the Texas energy market, prices can go 50x higher than usual in extreme scenarios. When this happens, the ability to forecast these price spikes becomes increasingly important.
We use our machine learning (ML) forecasting and optimization to trade in energy markets, make large-scale battery storage systems more efficient, and sell energy to businesses to protect them from extreme price volatility. Our deep learning models have proven very successful in trading in energy markets, we’re successfully operating multiple large batteries (50MW+), and we now sell energy to hundreds of businesses.
We have a very strong team with significant expertise in ML, energy, and optimization. If you’re interested in working on complex real-world problems, large-scale data challenges, and applying ML to climate and energy, we’d love to talk to you.
The Role
We’re looking for a full-stack engineer to help drive Gridmatic’s initiative to transform the way companies decarbonize their energy supply. Gridmatic’s fast-growing energy business uses long-term ML forecasting to sign energy supply contracts with commercial and industrial customers.
You’d be responsible for building the end-to-end platform to help make this possible. You’d be working closely with the Cupertino-based ML team on how to integrate their long-term forecasting, as well as the Houston-based team to help scale up the business.
We seek strong builders who can take products from zero to one and can think deeply about business needs. You’d be working across the stack with Python, React, Postgres, BigQuery, Kubernetes, and GCP. You’ll be helping us build industry-first innovations to the clean energy space.
What you might work on
- Building the web frontend for customers to visualize and analyze their clean energy usage
- Building internal tools to allow us to do complex energy contract pricing based on AI forecasting
- Building the data infrastructure to allow us to balance our clean energy resources against customer usage
You might be a good fit if you:
- Have 5+ years of software engineering experience
- Have previous startup work experience
- Have built new products from scratch, from spec to design and implementation
- Are very comfortable in both backend and frontend work
- Are proficient in building scalable web applications on cloud infrastructure
- Are proficient working with relational databases and data warehouses
- Have worked with Python (required)
- Have worked with React, or similar technologies
FAQ
What’s your policy on remote work?
