The Opportunity:

Gridsight is a rapidly growing GridTech startup that is accelerating global electrification and decarbonisation. Our AI-powered software generates insights that ensure electrical utilities maximise reliability, optimise operations, and integrate renewable energy sources seamlessly into the grid. Having recently raised our Series A funding, we’re excited to supercharge our team in our quest to modernise, optimise and decentralise the global electricity grid as fast as possible. 🚀

As a Graduate Data Engineer at Gridsight, you’ll engage your passion for distributed renewables with your experience leading and owning data pipelines to enhance and scale our platform to hundreds of thousands of meters across the globe. In this opportunity to design, develop, and optimise data pipelines and architectures for electricity distribution networks, you’ll play a critical role in redefining and revolutionising the way utilities can enable the decentralisation and decarbonisation of the grid. Join us in our mission to enable a future-proof grid powered by decentralised resources and renewables. ⚡️
