Product Engineer, Sales Platform

The Company

Gridmatic Inc. is a high-growth startup with offices in the Bay Area and Houston that is accelerating the clean energy transition by applying our expertise in data, machine learning, and energy to power markets. We are the rare startup that has multiple years of profitability without raising venture capital. At Gridmatic, we foster a collaborative and inclusive culture where learning and growth are constant. We move quickly, solve problems with integrity, and balance environmental responsibility with data-driven excellence.

We’ve 100x’ed our energy sales in the last 18 months, and we want to 10x again to become a gigawatt-scale energy retailer — a huge step toward becoming a leading renewable-focused energy company.

This will require building automation and tooling to make it exceptionally easy to sign increasingly large and complex industrial energy customers (think datacenters, flexible loads, and other businesses). There’s a ton of complexity in the pricing, usage forecasting, and contracting of these customers, and we’re building a platform to automate this entire process. Incumbent energy companies work with archaic tech and need hundreds or thousands of salespeople; we have six.

We’re hiring for exceptional product engineers who can help build out this vision. We look for people who can ship and iterate quickly, and are also really good at figuring out what to build. 

• Deep automation of our pricing, forecasting, and contracting platform. Examples include: using AI to fully automate pricing from unstructured emails, scaling the processing of large-scale timeseries usage data, and representing increasingly complex customer contracts.
• Rapid expansion into new markets. New markets expand our sales opportunity but requires handling new utilities, new datasets, and new pricing rules and algorithms.

• Excel at building product end-to-end, from spec and data modeling to backend to frontend and product design. We work in an environment where every engineer has a huge amount of leverage and impact.
• Are an expert at learning and gathering requirements from stakeholders. We’re building new tools and products in the energy domain, and this requires very effectively with people who have energy experience.
• Are very comfortable working with complex, large-scale data. Energy data is often messy, so there’s a ton of value in being able to design good schemas, write queries, and make sense of the data.
• Have strong Python backend skills - being able to debug production issues, set up alerting and observability, scale large parallel jobs, and do performance profiling.
• Can thrive in a startup environment where there’s ambiguity, and priorities and requirements are driven by engineers.
