DESCRIPTION & DETAILS

Company Summary

In order to decarbonize the grid, utilities and grid operators need higher quality carbon data and analytics. To support the US grid’s decarbonization journey, Singularity Energy is building a data platform to support clean energy and carbon tracking, reporting, and planning. Today, grid carbon data is siloed, outdated, and lacks spatial and temporal granularity, and with new climate pledges and decarbonization plans being announced every day, there is a tremendous need to get the underlying data right. Singularity is proud to partner with organizations such as Southern Company, MISO, SPP, and APS. We are a team of grid carbon experts, with industry recognized accolades, and we are hiring to support engineering our platform for the scale and needs of our utility and grid operator partners.

We’re looking for somebody who can write full-stack code (across the frontend, backend, data engineering & infrastructure – or ramp up quickly!), manage a large and complex project, coordinate resources internally across multiple departments, and stay on top of customer communications that involve multiple stakeholders and require the utmost clarity.
