  • Build and manage the full Virtual Power Plant stack, including real-time control systems and machine learning forecasting models.
  • Collaborate directly with clients and market operators to iterate on product features that move energy usage to green, low-cost periods.

The ideal candidate

  • Proven production experience shipping B2B SaaS products with Python backends and a strong grasp of Docker and GCP environments.
  • A history of solving complex technical challenges in distributed systems, real-time integrations, or data pipelines at a scaling startup.
  • Deeply motivated by the climate crisis and ready to thrive in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment with a commitment to impact.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
