About the job
Join Gridmatic, a pioneering startup revolutionizing the energy sector by delivering affordable and clean power through the optimization of renewable energy and grid-scale batteries. Located in the heart of the Bay Area, we fuse Silicon Valley innovation with profound expertise in energy markets and retail.
As the demand for solar and wind power surges, we face the challenge of market volatility driven by weather and grid conditions. Gridmatic addresses this with cutting-edge forecasting and optimization solutions, enabling our team to tackle significant issues. Our core activities revolve around energy forecasting and trading, where we analyze extensive data sets—such as weather, pricing, load, and grid conditions—to develop probabilistic machine learning forecasts that inform crucial operational decisions. Our work directly influences the timing of energy purchases, storage, and deployment, transforming uncertainty into value for our customers and the grid.
Our measurable impact is evident: Gridmatic stands as the most profitable participant in ERCOT’s wholesale market and manages the leading battery asset in CAISO. Without reliance on venture capital, we foster a collaborative, low-ego environment where rigorous thinking, autonomy, and continuous learning are integral to our culture.
The Role
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to become a vital member of our Platform team, responsible for constructing the foundational infrastructure that powers Gridmatic. The challenges within our platform are shaped by the dynamic nature of energy markets: forecasting and trading decisions must be executed on tight schedules, battery dispatch commands require real-time reliability, and machine learning models need to be continuously trained and deployed as new data is available.
