About Us
Our mission is to fulfill the promise of the energy transition by becoming the software platform for Distributed Energy Resources. Named one of Forbes’ top 50 best startup employers in 2023, we operate Virtual Power Plants that help the grid match supply and demand by coordinating energy usage with generation capacity.

Voltus is a remote and virtual company, distributed across US, Canada, and abroad with many team members in New York, San Francisco, Boston, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, DC and other cities. This role can be based anywhere in the US/Canada.

The Role
Are you interested in building the technical foundation of the worldwide transition to clean energy? Join our product-focused and mission-driven team! 

We are looking for creative and motivated software engineers to help build, maintain, architect, and envision the future of our rapidly scaling Performance and Nominations product verticals.





We are responsible for:

  • The models and supporting infrastructure that allow Virtual Power Plants to participate in both wholesale energy markets and utility programs across the US and Canada.
  • The backend services and algorithms that translate our portfolio of energy consumption and generation data into quantifiable event performance metrics.
  • The predictive and optimization engines that enable our operational and markets teams to rightsize nominations, maximizing ROI and earnings potential for our fleet of distributed energy resources.
  • High availability APIs that make our data available in milliseconds or less.
  • Interactive applications that translate this complex information into actionable applications for Voltans and external customers alike.
  • Working with a world-class team of energy markets analysts to better model complex energy resources and help Voltus customers get the most out of their Distributed Energy Resources.

You might...

  • Have a solid fluency with modern programming languages (primarily Python and some Go).
  • Have a deep understanding of SQL database design and queries.
  • Have experience or interest in scaling data-intensive pipelines and distributed systems.
  • Think of yourself as a full stack, backend, or data engineer - we're hiring!
  • Be hungry to ramp up your expertise in the complex world of energy markets; no prior energy experience necessary.

We are a distributed, friendly team. If you are excited to use your skills to make the green energy economy stronger and better, we invite you to apply!

At Voltus, we are proud to be an equal opportunity employer because we recognize that a diverse organization begins with a diverse candidate pool.
