Data Engineer

About us

Pearl Street’s mission is to accelerate the transition to a reliable, decarbonized grid. We deliver software solutions to electric grid operators, utilities, and renewable energy project developers to tackle the “interconnection bottleneck,” the process by which large-scale solar, wind, and battery projects connect to the power grid. To date, nearly 300 billion watts’ worth of renewable energy projects have been modeled in our software to expedite their interconnection to the grid – equivalent to nearly 700 million solar panels, 30 billion LEDs, or 390 million horses! If you are interested in solving the most pressing challenges of the world’s most critical infrastructure, we’d love to hear from you! 

What you’ll do

We are looking for a data engineer who is comfortable taking ownership of complex projects while collaborating with existing members of the team. We’re continuously improving our Interconnect™ application to make it faster, easier, and cheaper for renewable energy projects to be deployed on the grid. You will play a leading role in collecting and analyzing user-facing data, including:

• Architecting and deploying data pipelines for scraping and aggregation of public datasets

• Processing and analyzing data to develop insights around renewable energy interconnection

• Developing intuitive dashboards and visualizations in modern frontend web technologies

Your work will help project developers deploy more (and better) zero-carbon generation projects on the grid!

• Strong Python coding experience; alternatively, experience with Java/other modern programming languages for data pipelines and a demonstrated ability to learn and adopt new coding techniques

• Experience with cloud-native ETL data pipelines

• Expertise in cloud-based relational databases

• Familiarity with Git or other version control system
