Company mission
To empower utilities and their customers to create a clean, distributed energy future
Role
Who you are
- 10+ years professional software development experience
- Python and SQL (of any flavor) experience required
- Experience building out data pipelines and ELT / ETL systems
- Comfortable leading system design and architecture
- Experience with data warehouses (we use Snowflake) and data modeling
Desirable
- Designing and building data pipelines within an electric utility
- Familiar with tools and technologies like airflow, dbt, AWS kinesis, S3
- Typical development tools and processes (automated testing, continuous integration/deployment, monitoring systems)
- Java or MongoDB
- Sigma, Tableau or similar BI tools
What the job involves
- Design and implement software solutions that turn millions of electric vehicles, smart thermostats, batteries, and other energy IoT devices into resources that help create a cleaner and more resilient grid
- Design and implement systems for ingesting and managing data from core utility software systems, such as meter data management systems, geographic information systems, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), EMS/SCADA and others
- Operate almost completely independently to find potential solutions, design them, identify roadblocks and challenges, and parcel out the work to senior engineers on various different teams
- Build influence across teams and across functions to take on initiatives that impact the whole company, chart out the relevant dependencies and tradeoffs, and help teams execute on the shared roadmap you build
- Develop new ways of connecting our systems to energy markets and the systems that balance the electric grid
- Develop APIs and tools that enable hardware manufacturers and third-party enterprise software systems to integrate with our platform
- Collaborate with our analytics and machine learning teams to deliver new data insights and optimize our virtual power plants
- Improve the scale, automation, and reliability of our massive pipeline of device telemetry, energy, and weather data
- Introduce and devise tools, techniques, and best practices that benefit the entire team
- React to and resolve novel technical, operational, and organizational challenges
- Contribute to our team culture and inclusive environment
- Mentor early career engineers and more senior engineers on the teams you interact with
Our take
Power grids are becoming increasingly complicated due to the increased usage of distributed energy resources (DER) in homes such as electric vehicles, home batteries, and thermostats. This complexity arises from the fragmented nature of DER providers and their lack of integration with management systems, making it difficult for renewable energy and other advanced grid services to operate reliably.
EnergyHub provides a DER management system that facilitates the management of DERs at scale, helping to provide the digital infrastructure for flexible electricity demand, voltage and frequency regulation and real-time analytics. It also provides end-to-end support for the acquisition, enrollment, and aggregation of customer-owned DERs.
Whilst the DER industry faces significant challenges in integrating into existing power grids, EnergyHub is providing the infrastructural and data flexibility required to future-proof the reliability of power networks. The company partners with major DER providers - Siemens, Nest and Tesla to name a few - and provides the technical support required for them to meet their long-term strategic goals and work towards a renewable future.
