Job Description
Electricity grids are undergoing the most significant transformation in a century. The shift to renewables, the proliferation of rooftop solar, batteries, and EVs, and the increasing complexity of distribution networks are forcing utilities to operate their grids in fundamentally new ways.
Gridsight builds the data engine that makes this possible. We're already embedded with most of Australia's major distribution networks and have contracts with some of the largest investor-owned utilities in the United States. We're well-funded, growing quickly, and positioned at the centre of a global shift toward dynamic grid management.
The Role
We're hiring a Senior or Staff-level Software Engineer to join our engineering team and help build the next generation of our platform.
You'll work across the stack, owning features end-to-end - from understanding the problem through to shipping and iterating in production. The work spans our grid analytics platform: building the software that helps utilities understand, operate, and optimise their networks as the energy transition accelerates.
We're building an engineering culture where AI-assisted development is the norm, not the exception. We expect our engineers to be actively using agentic coding tools and LLM-assisted workflows to move faster, think bigger, and deliver more. If you're already working this way - or you're the kind of engineer who's itching to - you'll fit right in.
What You'll Do
Build and ship high-impact software features across the Gridsight platform
Own features end-to-end: from understanding the problem through to shipping and iterating in production
Make sound trade-offs between speed, quality, and scope to maximise product outcomes
Collaborate with product, data science, and data engineering to shape how our platform evolves
Leverage AI-assisted development tooling to accelerate delivery and raise the bar on what a small team can ship
Contribute to engineering culture: code quality, testing, observability, and knowledge sharing
What You'll Bring
4–8+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of delivering impact at Senior or Staff level
Strong engineering fundamentals: clean architecture, testing practices, code review, CI/CD — in service of shipping things that matter
Experience shipping user-facing product features in production
Fluency in the use of AI-assisted development tools — you're already using agentic coding tools, LLM-assisted workflows, or similar to accelerate your work
Strong ownership and a bias to action — you take things from idea to working software without waiting to be told
What Would Set You Apart
Experience building LLM-integrated product features in production
Frontend development experience with modern frameworks (React or similar)
Experience in energy, utilities, or infrastructure technology
Distributed systems or data engineering experience
What We Offer
Competitive salary and equity package
Remote-first, with head office in Sydney
A talented team of engineers, data scientists, and power systems specialists working on hard problems that matter
