Equilibrium Energy is revolutionizing the clean energy transition by developing innovative grid-scale energy storage solutions. Our technology and market platform helps utilities, independent power producers, and commercial customers optimize their renewable energy assets, improve grid reliability, and accelerate decarbonization. As a fast-growing climate tech company, we're building infrastructure that will shape the future of energy markets and enable a sustainable energy economy.
Equilibrium Energy is a well-funded, Series B clean energy startup backed by some of the most prominent institutional investors in climate. New colleagues will share our vision that a next-generation energy company must be built from the ground up on deep industry expertise combined with an unwavering commitment to modern digital approaches. We’re looking for collaborative, talented, passionate and resourceful folks to join our team and help us lay the foundation for our important mission and ambitious plan.
EQ's data is foundational to everything we do - powering the forecasting and optimization models that help transform the power sector. As we scale, we need someone to define how the rest of the company discovers, understands, and accesses that data. We're looking for a Staff / Sr Staff Data Platform Engineer to design and build the infrastructure, interfaces, and patterns that make our data platform genuinely useful to the 50+ engineers who depend on it.
This is a foundational role. You'll be the first dedicated Data Platform Engineer at EQ, which means you'll have significant latitude to shape what data platform infrastructure looks like here - from cataloging and lineage to access patterns and self-serve capabilities.
You'll be a member of EQ's Data Platform team, reporting to the Director of Data Platform. While our Data Engineers build and maintain pipelines, you'll focus on the layer above: the infrastructure and interfaces that make those pipelines discoverable, understandable, and easy to use.
Key Responsibilities:
We are a high growth company with accelerating hiring needs so there’s a great chance we’ll be able to create a custom role for you, now or in the future.

Equilibrium is composed of deeply knowledgeable industry experts across all our functions, with decades of experience in energy-specific commercial structuring, power systems engineering, machine learning, computational research, operations research, distributed and compute-intensive infrastructure, and modern software & ML engineering. Our experience in the space means we’ve previously built versions of nearly every technical component of our platform. We are now designing them better, and combining them in a holistic and novel way, to achieve global scale and climate impact. We pride ourselves on our deeply empathetic & collaborative culture, honest and direct but respectful communication, and our balanced, flexible, and remote-first work environment.
