Software Engineer, Grid-Scale BatteriesCupertino, San FranciscoThe RoleWe're looking for a Software Engineer to join the team building the core of Gridmatic's battery optimization platform. Our challenges are shaped by the nature of energy markets: optimization models run on tight schedules, bids must be submitted reliably within tight market clearing windows, and data pipelines need to ingest and process market signals continuously. You'll partner with our ML, optimization, and data science teams to bring research into production, and work alongside the Platform Infrastructure team on the compute and orchestration layers that underpin it all. What You'll DoBuild and maintain data pipelines that ingest real-time market and telemetry data and pass these to our forecasting and optimization modelsOwn production systems using workflow orchestration for battery dispatch and market bidding, where reliability has direct revenue consequencesPartner with ML and optimization researchers to evaluate and productionize bidding strategies e.g. by adding or improving workflow orchestrationCollaborate with the our data and optimization teams to build reliable data calculations and visualization for settlement calculations, trading operations, and bid strategy evaluationContribute to tooling, observability, and patterns that help the team ship and operate software reliablyMake architectural decisions as we scale the platform alongside our asset portfolioJoin on call rotation to maintain systems you buildWhat We're Looking For4+ years of experience building and operating production software systemsStrong proficiency in Python, including production-grade code beyond notebooks and scriptsExperience with Go, or a background in a similar typed language (Java, Rust, C++)Solid experience building and operating data pipelines—streaming or batch, at meaningful scaleHands-on experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Airflow, Flyte, or TemporalEnthusiasm to learn about and work on details of the application, in this case electricity markets and grid-scale batteriesSystems thinking—understanding how components interact, where failures cascade, and how to build for reliability and efficiencyClear communication, whether writing a design doc, reviewing code, or explaining a system to someone unfamiliar with itComfort in a fast-moving, small-team environment where ownership is broadNice to HaveInfrastructure-as-code experience with Terraform or similar toolsHands-on experience with Kubernetes in production (we run on GKE)Background working with ML, optimization, or research teams to bring models into productionFamiliarity with optimization, forecasting, or simulation workflowsPrior work in domains where latency and reliability have direct business consequencesExperience in energy markets, SCADA, or battery management systemsTaking care of you today:- Continuing Education Opportunities - Flexible PTO - Medical, Dental and Vision plans with competitive employer contributions - Pre-Tax commuter benefits - $1500/year non profit donation matching program through Millie - Home Office StipendProtecting your future for you and your family:- 401K contribution match up to 4% - Company-paid parental leave - Company Paid Life Insurance - Stock Option Loan ProgramPay range$180,000 - $270,000 USD
