Responsibilities

  • Embed with power engineers and go-to-market teams to understand workflows, constraints, and underlying customer needs.
  • Dogfood, test, and evaluate FDE and AI tooling for usefulness, correctness, reliability, and fit with critical-infrastructure work.
  • Translate field evidence into requirements, priorities, and acceptance criteria while partnering closely with Product and Engineering.
  • Investigate data, write Python and SQL, build prototypes and integrations, debug workflows, and perform high-priority customer work.
  • Lead U.S. team rollout, onboarding, training, adoption measurement, and intervention when teams revert to lower-leverage workflows.
  • Define usage standards, AI-assisted-work quality bars, human-review requirements, and processes for capturing lessons and failure modes.
  • Turn recurring field needs into reusable workflows, product capabilities, playbooks, and an evidence-based FDE operating model.

Requirements

  • Experience building and shipping maintainable software within a product-engineering organization.
  • Meaningful experience with power systems, utilities, grid technology, or adjacent critical infrastructure is strongly preferred.
  • Fluency in Python, SQL, APIs, data pipelines, cloud systems, and modern developer tooling.
  • Experience with modern data and AI workflows, including platforms such as Databricks and AI-native or agentic tooling, is valuable.
  • Strong discovery, product judgment, communication, adoption leadership, and cross-functional ownership skills.
  • Ability to work credibly with engineers, utility leaders, executives, customers, and enterprise stakeholders.
  • Willingness to travel regularly and spend significant time with customers and the U.S. team.
  • Experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer, customer-embedded product engineer, or technical lead is helpful but not required.

Benefits

  • Broad ownership from day one in a founding role shaping Gridsight’s FDE model and AI-native ways of working.
  • Regular travel and meaningful time with customers and the U.S. team are expected.
