How you can contribute to gridX

Do stuff that matters Become a part of gridX and contribute your own part to digitalise the energy industry with us and thus make renewable energies accessible and affordable everywhere #getshitdone

Become part of the Tariff Timer team which builds a stateoftheart energy management solution focused on making smart decisions based on dynamic energy tariffs. This service which employs timeofuse optimization algorithms is continually being enhanced and scaled to keep pace with the everincreasing number of customers using this service. The Tariff Timer team is looking forward to growing together with you and bringing this feature to many more customers.

• You are excited about energy systems and building an energy management system for the future. Therefore you build/extend/maintain the stateoftheart EMS logic at the heart of the Tariff Timer service where you are getting your hands on both mathematical modeling as well as software development tasks.
• You drive the development of the timeofuse optimization models and proactively identify shortcomings and bottlenecks in our EMS logic. This also means working closely with the product management team to understand what our customers want and finding pragmatic solutions to help them succeed.
• You know your way around energy systems and continuously stay on top of the latest challenges/opportunities in the domain. At the same time you always look for ways to share this domain expertise with other engineers in our team. Ideally you strive to take responsibility for mentoring junior engineers on a regular basis.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES IN DETAIL:

• You own Tariff Timer features endtoend from conception to implementation to deployment to coordinating requirements/deployment with internal stakeholders.
• You conceptualize mathematical energy system models and control algorithms for the Tariff Timer use cases. To achieve that you employ numerical optimization and data science techniques in a pragmatic/solutionoriented fashion.
• You work closely with our software experts to figure out how to translate mathematical EMS logic into a scalable software service.
• You are responsible for developing/reviewing design documents/RFCs and you guide other engineers to improve mathematical energy system modeling and EMS design.
• You identify shortcomings and potential improvements in our business logic and raise issues proactively to our product manager.
• You develop scalable software. Wherever needed you proactively seek ways to improve your software development skills.
• You monitor our daily operation and push improvements to our internal processes to help us improve quality of service.
• You design EMS solutions that customers love to use and build software that developers love to maintain.

This is how you and your application stand out

• You have 3 years of experience with the mathematical modeling of energy systems for simulation analysis or numerical optimization.
• You have experience with any numerical optimization techniques (we employ MILP). This also means you can analyze optimization results and interpret them for nonexperts.
• You are on an intermediate level in at least one modern programming language (e.g. Python Go Julia; we primarily use Python and Go)
• Brownie points: You have experience with data science techniques particularly for time series forecasting
• Brownie points: You have a strong track record of software development experiences particularly in distributed software systems
