GridCARE is the pioneer of Power Acceleration — a new category solving the most critical constraint in AI's growth trajectory:
immediate access to power
. As demand for computing skyrockets, access to energy has become the defining bottleneck in the AI infrastructure race. While leading tech companies invest billions in speculative, long-term solutions that may take decades to arrive, GridCARE's Energize™ platform uses physics-based AI to identify and activate gigawatts of hidden capacity in today's electric grid — enabling hyperscalers, data center developers, and utilities to power AI infrastructure years sooner than conventional approaches and without costly upgrades.

Founded at Stanford's Doerr School of Sustainability, GridCARE has assembled a world-class team spanning power systems, AI, and infrastructure, and is backed by leading climate-tech and deep-tech investors.

Work at the intersection of AI, energy, and infrastructure — the foundation of the next industrial revolution.

Partner with hyperscalers, developers, and utilities on high-impact, real-world deployments.

Help shape a more abundant, efficient, and resilient energy future for the digital era.

Join a company defining a new category — Power Acceleration for AI.

Receive competitive compensation, equity, and benefits in a fast-growth, mission-driven environment.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Platform to build the shared software foundations that let GridCARE turn grid intelligence into products: secure APIs, tenant-aware authorization, integrations with job orchestration systems, and reusable application services.

Working with our tech lead, product engineers, data owner, and power systems team, you’ll take these capabilities from architecture through production adoption
—making them easy for developers and AI agents to discover, integrate, and operate. You’ll independently resolve implementation choices, build on managed services, and own rollout and production behavior, with the tech lead guiding platform architecture. You’ll raise the engineering bar through design reviews, code review, and mentoring.

• Build the API platform. Use managed gateway and identity services to support browser applications and machine clients. Own the integration code, trusted identity and tenant context, request validation, and clear, versioned API contracts.

• Partner on job orchestration. Work with data and power systems engineers to integrate job workflows with shared platform services. Build the API and access-control interfaces that connect products to these workflows, preserving tenant and study context through job submission, status, and result access.

• Make authorization and tenant isolation dependable. Implement shared access controls across APIs, services, jobs, and data interfaces. Enforce resource ownership and study boundaries, including for internal users authorized to work with multiple customers, and define how permission changes affect ongoing work.

• Make the platform easy to build on. Create reusable APIs, libraries, application templates, machine-readable contracts, and executable examples. Help developers and AI agents discover capabilities, compose workflows, and recover from…
