Senior Software Engineer - Pearl Street

About us

Pearl Street's mission is to accelerate the transition to a reliable, decarbonized grid. We deliver software solutions to electric grid operators, utilities, and renewable energy project developers to tackle the "interconnection bottleneck," the process by which large-scale solar, wind, and battery projects connect to the power grid. To date, over 130 billion watts’ worth of renewable energy projects have been modeled in our software to expedite their interconnection to the grid – equivalent to more than 300 million solar panels, 13 billion LEDs, or 169 million horses! If you are interested in solving the most pressing challenges of the world’s most critical infrastructure, we’d love to hear from you! 

What you’ll do

We are looking for an experienced software engineer who is comfortable with delivering high-quality software in a fast-paced environment. We’re building powerful cloud software to help make it faster, easier, and cheaper for renewable energy projects to be deployed on the grid. You will play a key role in building out this app, with tasks such as:

• Translating traditionally manual grid study processes into well-structured, performant code;

• Deploying and testing large-scale parallel compute code on cloud-based infrastructure;

• Working with other members of the team to define product requirements, develop tests, and validate results.

Your work will help project developers deploy more (and better) zero-carbon generation projects on the grid!
