Role Overview
The Grid Services team builds the intelligence that connects Emerald Conductor to the electric grid.
As a Software Engineer on the Grid Services team, you'll develop the systems that enable data centers to participate in wholesale electricity markets and demand response programs. You'll build software that ingests grid and market signals, forecasts system behavior, determines available load flexibility, and executes reliable dispatch across utilities, ISOs/RTOs, and energy market operators.
This role combines distributed systems engineering with optimization, forecasting, and energy market expertise. Much of the challenge lies in translating complex market rules - including capacity accreditation, baseline methodologies, settlement, and performance requirements - into reliable production software. Small implementation mistakes can have significant operational and financial consequences.
As one of the early engineers on the team, you'll help define the architecture, own major technical decisions, and work closely with control systems, platform, and AI infrastructure teams to turn grid-side decisions into real-world data center actions.
