Provider of automation of power grid simulation services designed to connect to the grid efficiently. Backed by Convective Capital.
About the role
The power grid is the backbone of national security, the economy, and the energy transition—and growing uncertainty is making it harder to maintain reliability while integrating new generation and serving rapid load growth. As a result, generation developers, large load developers, and electric utilities are forced to plan and build with imperfect data and slow study workflows, making interconnection and long-term planning slower, riskier, and more uncertain.

What they're looking for
- 5+ years building and shipping technical software products in product management, engineering, or a combination of both, with a track record of independently owning products from discovery through launch and iteration
- A bias toward action. You can identify a valuable first version, make sound decisions with incomplete information, and learn from shipping while holding a clear bar for quality
- Strong customer discovery skills. You can lead a conversation with a highly technical domain expert and their boss, ask precise follow-up questions, and connect workflow details to business priorities
- Clear written and visual communication. You can express a product decision through a concise spec, mockup, prototype, or evaluation case and choose the format that helps the team move forward
- The judgment and independence to prioritize competing needs, resolve ambiguity with engineers, and take accountability for product outcomes
- Passion for grid planning and interconnection, and demonstrated ability to become effective in an unfamiliar technical domain
