Berlin (Hybrid / On-site) | Full-time | 4+ years experience | Loadwise.ai About LoadwiseData centers are becoming one of the fastest-growing electricity consumers in history, especially AI and HPC clusters. At the same time, power systems are increasingly driven by renewable generation, creating volatility in prices, carbon intensity, and grid conditions. Loadwise builds software that allows compute infrastructure to respond intelligently to these energy signals. The RoleWe are looking for an Energy Markets & Grid Integration Lead to sit at the intersection of energy market expertise and technical platform ownership. This is a rare role. Very few people can navigate commercial energy markets, regulatory frameworks, and the technical plumbing of real-time signal integration at the same time. You will shape how Loadwise connects to, responds to, and ultimately influences the European energy market. As one of the first six people building Loadwise, you will own two distinct motions: The Commercial Side and The Technical Side. What the first six months look like: In your first six months, you have mapped and engaged in relevant European DR programs and identified which ones Loadwise customers participate in. You have built working relationships with TSOs or aggregators and have a clear picture of their technical and commercial requirements. The platform is receiving and correctly processing live market signal.
