Gridium’s software platform collects large amounts of operational data from commercial buildings such as offices, medical providers, and corporate campuses. Our analytics then identifies energy savings opportunities that we work with customers to bring to reality.
Your role
Data is at the heart of what Gridium does. We are looking for a US-based engineer to design, develop, and scale our backend services, with a focus on data management. We collect data from dozens of sources, bringing challenges related to scalability, timeliness, reliability, and quality.
About the job
