Of course, this wouldn't be possible without our people, which is why we have built a team of individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds.
Are you ready to help power the global quality of life? Join Enverus, and be a part of creating a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow.
The Team:
As part of the Marginal Unit Team, you will be a key contributor to the fastest growing product line at Enverus. We pair complex algorithms and machine learning with powerful computational infrastructure and an intuitive UI that is unmatched in the industry. Small, fast paced, and highly collaborative, this team values engineers who enjoy tackling difficult technical and domain problems while continuously learning from one another.
Engineers on this team own systems end-to-end, including architecture, implementation, observability, reliability, and operational support.
Performance Objectives

• Lead the design and development of our AI-powered analyst agent, including LLM integration, skill-based tool architecture, and agentic reasoning pipelines

• Drive architectural decisions for backend services built in Python, including async task execution, API design, and structured output modeling

• Take technical ownership of existing systems and services, redesigning them as necessary to reduce complexity or leverage new technologies

• Define engineering standards and patterns across the team and mentor engineers at multiple levels

• Partner with product and domain experts to translate power market problems into scalable, maintainable software

• Integrate and evolve our use of frontier AI models (Claude via AWS Bedrock) as capabilities and APIs continue to advance

Challenges You'll Face:

• Highly complex domain (the power grid itself, and the markets that sit on top of it)

• Building reliable, observable agentic systems where LLM behavior is inherently non-deterministic

• Continuously evolving AI capabilities requiring ongoing architectural adaptation

• Stability and observability of a distributed system involving dozens of semi-independent services

• Maintaining performance while working with complex computations on large-scale real-time data

Competitive Candidate Profile

• BS in Computer Science, or equivalent experience

• 8+ years of software engineering experience with significant Python backend development

• Demonstrated experience leading technical direction on a team or system, not just delivering within one

• Experience designing and operating AI-powered or agent-based systems (LLM integration, tool use, structured outputs)

• Significant experience working with data-rich applications and pipelines

• Proven success in delivering highly reliable and scalable software systems

• Experience with task queuing systems (Dramatiq, Celery, or similar) and async distributed workflows

• Experience using Kafka, SQL, and NoSQL databases

• Familiarity with Kubernetes on GCP or AWS

• Experience learning and working in a highly complex domain (financial trading or power systems is a plus)

Technology Stack:
Python, Go, Rust, Kafka, MySQL, ClickHouse, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Argo
Grafana, Sentry, Honeycomb, Terraform, Pulumi, Claude, AWS Bedrock, LangChain, AgentCore
