We are building a vertical SaaS platform for electricity utilities, enabling them to modernise grid operations and unlock transformational flexibility capabilities such as dynamic operating envelopes and flexible interconnections.\nHaving recently raised our Series A funding from Airtree Ventures, Energy Transition Ventures and Area VC, we are poised for rapid growth and are seeking talented individuals to join us on our mission.\nFlex is Gridsight's DER orchestration product: dynamic operating envelopes, emergency backstop, flexible exports, and battery orchestration. It's how utilities actively manage millions of solar systems, batteries, and EVs in near-real time, and it sits on top of the power flow and optimisation engine and services built by our grid modelling team.\nWe're standing up a dedicated Flex product team to turn that engine into a product utilities can run themselves. We're looking for a software engineer to cover the full stack: backend services, working with the data models that feed them, and the web-facing product surface where utilities see and operate their flexible resources.\nOn any given week you might be building a backend service, shaping a data model, or shipping UI. You won't be deep in the power flow maths, but you'll be the engineer who makes its outputs usable, observable, and operable in production.\nWhat You'll Do\nBuild and ship product features across the Flex stack: backend services, data models, and web UI\nOwn features end-to-end, from understanding the problem through to shipping and iterating in production\nBuild the product surface that lets utilities and internal teams self-serve: configuration, operational visibility, and reporting\nWork with the data models and services that feed Flex products\nBuild the operational tooling and monitoring that keeps Flex deployments healthy across a growing customer base\nCollaborate with the grid modelling team to integrate power flow and optimisation outputs into product workflows\nLeverage AI-assisted development tooling to accelerate delivery and raise the bar on what a small team can ship\nContribute to engineering culture: code quality, testing, observability, and knowledge sharing\nWhat You'll Bring\n3-6+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping and running production systems\nStrong in at least one of backend, data, or frontend, and comfortable working across all three\nExperience shipping user-facing product features in production\nStrong engineering fundamentals: clean architecture, testing practices, code review, CI/CD - in service of shipping things that matter\nFluency in the use of AI-assisted development tools - you're already using agentic coding tools, LLM-assisted workflows, or similar to accelerate your work\nStrong ownership and a bias to action - you take things from idea to working software without waiting to be told\n What Would Set You Apart\nExperience in energy, utilities, or infrastructure technology\nExperience turning models, optimisation, or analytics outputs into production product features\nFrontend development experience with modern frameworks (React or similar)\nData engineering fundamentals: pipelines, orchestration, warehouse internals\nExperience building LLM-integrated product features in production\n What We Offer\nCompetitive salary. We hold high expectations, but pay accordingly.\nMeaningful ESOP so you share in the growth of Gridsight.\n$2,500 WFH allowance, $2,500 health and wellness allowance, bi-annual in person working weeks, and lunch is on us when you're in office.\nWork how you like. Fully remote, hybrid or in office with a fresh, new head office in Sydney and satellite spaces in Melbourne, Brisbane and Hobart.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3831,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Simulation & Digital Twin Software","Power Grid","Smart Grid","Energy AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-01T05:32:31Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 5","filings_12m":5,"filings_prev_12m":3,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":157500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":3}],"liveness":{"score":12,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.4,"p_active":0.544,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":46,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["seen:46","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/gridsight-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/gridsight-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T16:02:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":21844,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":93487},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=93487"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgridsight-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgridsight-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgridsight-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/gridsight-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgridsight-software-engineer"}]}
