Voltus | Full Stack/Backend/Data/Design | Remote | Full-Time

We are a team of engineers and energy experts working to get our customers paid for using less energy. Our customers are energy consumers (factories, skyscrapers, warehouses, steel mills...) who will commit to curtailing their demand on a signal from us. We aggregate those "curtailable" buildings into virtual power plants that we sell to utilities and other buyers in wholesale energy markets, splitting the revenue with our customers. Our virtual power plants are cleaner and cheaper than the coal and oil plants they replace.

Along the way we have to solve some hard problems:

    - trade energy in an international patchwork of wholesale power markets
    - convince a wide variety of factory foreman and building managers to cease their operations when they would really rather not
    - make hundreds of commercial and industrial buildings behave like a single, reliable generator in every way
We're currently hiring for a wide variety of roles--check our posts for more info. https://www.voltus.co/join-us

Voltus | Full Stack | NY/Remote | Full-Time We are a team of engineers and energy experts working to get our customers paid for using less energy. We work with large energy consumers to identify demand response and distributed energy resources. We aggregate those resources into virtual power plants that we sell to utilities and other buyers in wholesale energy markets, splitting the revenue with our customers. Our virtual power plants are cleaner and cheaper than the coal and oil plants they replace. Along the way we have to solve the hard system reliability problem of making hundreds of commercial and industrial sites behave like a single, reliable power producer.

Voltus | Backend, Frontend, DevOps | Remote | Full-time | $90k-$160k

Hi all! Voltus builds virtual power plants by aggregating large industrial and commercial customers, pooling their energy resources (including demand response, solar, and back-up generators), and bringing them into the energy market. Along the way, we help big energy consumers make money by managing their energy cleaner and smarter.

We are hiring a few positions with some constants--see link at bottom. Our backend is primarily Python/Flask, with Redis and Postgres, and some Go/Lua sprinkled in. Frontend is primarily React/Redux. We build and install our own metering and control hardware, and there are opportunities to dive into hardware/firmware development and manufacturing if you're so inclined. You should be interested in learning the nuts and bolts of the energy industry--how energy is bought, sold, transmitted, generated, and consumed.

Check out our jobs page at https://www.voltus.co/join-our-team/ or email me directly--my email is in my profile.
