Engineering Intern

Managing data is a core element of operating the world's most inspiring Virtual Power Plant (VPP). (You can't fact check vibes.) Data Engineering is the team that brings it all together. From millions of internet-connected devices that use, store, and distribute power to all the clients that use those devices to manage grid load, Data Engineering makes it possible. We love data, translation, observability, and quality. We also really love big numbers. And Greek-derived number prefixes (e.g. Tera-, Peta-).

From schema design to data transformation, from privacy and security to compliance, Data Engineering covers a lot of range. It's a tight-knit team of engineers dedicated to excellence, quality, high-throughput communication, and deep collaboration. Client experience is at the focus of our efforts, but we also serve other internal customers with high-value data and information.
