Soma Energy · Vancouver (Hybrid) · $175k–$265k + equity
A dispatch decision that arrives ninety seconds late isn't slow. It's wrong.
That's the kind of problem we work on. Soma Energy builds software that coordinates large electricity users with the power grid. We decide when and how they consume power, and we make sure those decisions actually get executed, on time, on real assets. Our mission is to enable abundant, affordable and clean electricity.
Why now
The grid balances electricity generation and consumption in real time. AI demand and renewable energy have pushed it to its limits, and we need better ways to use the infrastructure we already have.
Our insight comes from operating the largest energy portfolio across the Western US and scaling AWS's energy footprint: large electricity users can become part of the solution. By coordinating when and how they consume power, we turn demand into a flexible resource and create new ways to access power.
And it's working! We have real customers, deployment operations equivalent to 25% of BC's grid, and a backlog of customers that would double our footprint over the next six months. The systems that got us here now have to carry twice the load. We need engineers to build what carries us to the next level.
Who you'll build with
We're a team of 15 with backgrounds in energy trading, software engineering and AI scientists, backed by leading Bay Area venture capital firms. Our founding team created the energy optimization program at AWS and brings deep experience in electricity markets, renewable energy, AI, and optimization.
As a small team, your decisions will shape the architecture, the product, and the engineering culture. There is substantial work to own and room to help define how we do it.
