Emerald AI turns AI data centers into flexible grid assets, unlocking power capacity for AI while protecting grid reliability and energy affordability.
About the role
The Grid Services team builds the intelligence that connects Emerald Conductor to the electric grid. As a Member of Technical Staff 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.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years of software engineering experience building production systems in Python
- Strong experience designing and operating reliable, distributed software systems where correctness and availability are critical
- Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines
- Experience building data pipelines and working with large-scale operational datasets
- Familiarity with SQL and modern data engineering practices
- Experience in electric utilities, ISOs/RTOs, wholesale electricity markets, demand response, or adjacent energy systems
More about this role
We’re at a pivotal moment for AI and energy. Demand for compute is skyrocketing, but power constraints are becoming a critical bottleneck. Emerald AI sits at the intersection of these two worlds, enabling AI data centers to scale without overwhelming the grid.
Our Emerald Conductor software platform makes data centers flexible and responsive, allowing them to adjust power usage dynamically. This unlocks massive AI growth without major new infrastructure, while also strengthening the grid and supporting the expansion of renewable energy.
We’re a team of experts across AI, cloud, software, and energy—on a mission to scale AI sustainably. We’re backed by leading investors and partners including Radical Ventures and NVIDIA.
