Fastminds is a recruiting partner of Gridcare. We are helping Gridcare find a **Head of Software Engineering.** **Location:** Redwood City, CA — Hybrid (3 days/week in office) **Type:** Full-time **About GridCARE** 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 investor **At GridCARE, you will:** ⚡ 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. _Learn more about GridCARE:_ * TechCrunch: _GridCARE thinks more than 100 GW of data-center capacity is hiding in the grid_ * Utility Dive: _Portland General Electric invests in AI-powered flexibility to speed data-center connection_ * GridCARE Raises $64 Million Series A to Create a New Category: Power Acceleration * GridCARE Named a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer for AI Power Innovation **The Role** GridCARE is seeking a Senior Vice President of Engineering to lead and scale our engineering organization across software, physical systems modeling, optimization, and platform infrastructure. Reporting to the Founder & CTO, you will own how engineering delivers- turning physics-based models, grid optimization algorithms, and real-time data pipelines into reliable, production-grade products for hyperscalers, data center developers, and utilities. This is a hands-on executive role. You will think in systems and set direction for the entire organization, while staying close enough to the work to review code, pressure-test architecture, and roll up your sleeves when it matters most. You will lead the team through a period of rapid growth and build the leadership bench, processes, and culture that allow it to keep scaling. **Responsibilities** * **Organization & Scale:** Build, mentor, and scale a world-class, multidisciplinary engineering org across platform/backend, physical systems modeling, numerical optimization, and DevOps/infrastructure. * **Execution & Delivery**: Own the engineering roadmap and establish rigorous continuous delivery, architecture, and observability practices for mission-critical software. * **CTO Strategic Partner**: Translate the Founder & CTO's research and architectural vision into scalable, deployed products for hyperscalers and utilities. * **Mission-Critical Reliability**: Ensure enterprise-grade security, fault tolerance, low latency, and continuous uptime across cloud and on-premises utility environments. * **AI-Native Culture**: Build a culture that uses modern AI tools, automation, and first-principles thinking to move fast without compromising safety or reliability. **Qualifications** **Required** * 10+ years of engineering leadership experience, including senior executive roles (VP level or above) at high-growth, venture-backed deep-tech or SaaS companies. * Proven experience leading engineering teams that build products in physics-based modeling and AI/ML domains (e.g., simulation, scientific computing, optimization, applied machine learning). * Strong product leadership: a track record of shipping and scaling commercial software products in close partnership with Product and GTM teams. * Experience scaling engineering organizations through rapid growth, including hiring and developing managers and senior technical leaders. * Hands-on technical depth — able to review code, evaluate architecture, and engage credibly with engineers on distributed systems, data pipelines, and Python-based stacks. * Track record of delivering high-availability, mission-critical systems in production. * A systems thinker who moves fluidly between organization-level strategy and technical detail, and communicates clearly with executives, engineers, and customers. **Preferred** * Experience in the energy sector, such as power systems, utilities, grid operations, energy markets, or SCADA/industrial telemetry. * Experience delivering software into regulated or security-sensitive environments (e.g., NERC CIP, SOC 2). * Experience with real-time streaming and time-series data at scale.\\ * Experience partnering closely with a technical founder at an early- or growth-stage company. * Advanced degree in engineering, physics, computer science, or a related quantitative field. **Location** * Redwood City, CA — hybrid, on-site 3 days per week. **What We Offer** * Competitive salary, performance bonus, and equity. * Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage. * Lunch provided three days a week in office. * Hybrid schedule: 3 days in office for collaboration, 2 days remote for focused work. * Access to leading academic, industry, and government partners in the AI-energy ecosystem. * A mission-driven team focused on shaping the future of the energy transition.
