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. Power systems are increasingly driven by renewable generation, creating volatility in prices, carbon intensity, and grid conditions. Loadwise connects data center infrastructure directly to real-time energy markets and grid signals, enabling cost-optimal and carbon-aware operation of compute workloads and energy assets. 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. You will shape how Loadwise connects to, responds to, and ultimately influences the European energy market. As one of the first six people, you will own two motions:- The Commercial Side: identify and structure DR participation, build relationships with TSOs/DSOs/aggregators, and design commercial frameworks.- The Technical Side: define how market signals connect to the platform and how assets respond in real time (API connectivity, signal logic, response calibration).What the first six months look like: Map and engage European DR programs, identify where customers participate, build relationships with TSOs/aggregators, and ensure the platform receives and processes live market signals. What You'll Work OnEnergy Market & Grid Integration (Technical)- Define how market signals translate to asset responses on Loadwise- Own/co-own API integrations with grid operators, aggregators, flexibility platforms- Calibrate real-time response logic with controls engineer- Define signal quality requirements and ensure reliable, low-latency ingestionDemand Response & Flexibility Programs- Identify, evaluate, and structure participation in European DR programs- Manage enrollment: baselines, M&V, reporting obligations- Track market developments and new flexibility mechanismsShaping the Asset Class- Establish data centers as recognized flexibility assets- Engage with regulators, TSOs, industry bodies for HPC/AI flexibility frameworks- Represent Loadwise in technical and policy discussionsCustomer Value & Commercial Frameworks- Design ROI models and reporting frameworks- Support energy procurement discussions where optimization improves strategy What We're Looking ForEnergy Markets & Demand Response- Experience with DR programs, flexibility markets, or large consumer energy management in Europe- Working knowledge of relevant regulatory frameworks (e.g., EnWG or EU market design)Technical Depth- Comfort with API connectivity, signal structures, real-time response logic- Ability to work with energy data, interval meter readings, settlement reports- Enough depth to contribute to integration architecture with engineersCommercial & Analytical Skills- Experience structuring/supporting energy-related commercial agreements- Strong written and verbal communication in German and EnglishCollaboration & Mindset- Comfortable operating across commercial, technical, and regulatory interfaces- Conviction in demand/grid flexibility accelerating the energy transition- Ability to manage multiple customer and partner relationships What We Offer- Competitive Base & Meaningful Equity: strong base salary and equity stake- Relocation & Visa Support: full visa sponsorship and relocation to Berlin- Your Setup: licenses for advanced LLMs as needed; top-of-the-line hardware- High Autonomy, Zero Bureaucracy: own commercial and technical dimensions end to endOur Process: three stages, no more than four weeks from first call to offer.
