About PowerX

The mission of PowerX is to combat climate change.

PowerX uses revolutionary, patented hardware and artificial intelligence to save up to 50% of water, water heating and electricity cost for home owners and businesses. This amounts to Gigatons of CO2 not emitted!

There is no other energy solution that can offer a similar combination of energy insight, AI selected savings and price.

About the role

Skills: Kafka, SQL, Spark, Hadoop

PowerX is on a mission to put money back in people's pockets and less carbon in the air.

We're a climate-tech startup that has developed a series of innovative, non-invasive sensors and cutting-edge software that gives homeowners and property managers real-time, actionable data to reduce their electricity and gas usage, water consumption, and carbon emissions.

But wait, there’s more! Our sensors can convert water heaters into thermal batteries, creating the world’s largest distributed battery network. Adding resilience to power grids and building capacity for renewable energy.

PowerX recently closed an oversubscribed Seed round and is backed by some of the world's most respected venture funds and angels including Y Combinator, Spring Tide Capital, Antler, and senior executives from Tesla, SpaceX, and Hyperloop!

The ideal candidate will be excited about building PowerX's data infrastructure. You'll work cross-functionally and touch nearly every aspect of the organization. As an early member of the team, you will have significant exposure to the leadership team and have tremendous room for growth.

What you'll be doing:

Create and maintain data pipeline architecture, Assemble large, complex data sets that meet functional / non-functional business requirements. Identify, design, and implement internal process improvements: automating manual processes, optimizing data delivery, re-designing infrastructure for greater scalability, etc. Build the infrastructure required for optimal extraction, transformation, and loading of data from a wide variety of data sources using SQL and AWS ‘big data’ technologies. Build analytics tools that utilize the data pipeline to provide actionable insights into customer acquisition, operational efficiency and other key business performance metrics. Work with stakeholders including the Executive, Product, Data and Design teams to assist with data-related technical issues and support their data infrastructure needs. Keep our data separated and secure across national boundaries through multiple data centers and AWS regions. Create data tools for analytics and data scientist team members that assist them in building and optimizing our product into an innovative industry leader. Work with data and analytics experts to strive for greater functionality in our data systems.

Who we're looking for:

Advanced working SQL knowledge and experience working with relational databases, query authoring (SQL) as well as working familiarity with a variety of databases. Experience building and optimizing ‘big data’ data pipelines, architectures and data sets. Experience with data streams (ideally AWS Kinesis, Spark-Streaming, and AWS Timestream). Build processes supporting data transformation, data structures, metadata, dependency and workload management. Working knowledge of message queuing, stream processing, and highly scalable ‘big data’ stores. Experience supporting and working with cross-functional teams in a dynamic environment. We are looking for a candidate with 2+ years of experience in a Data Engineer role. Experience with big data tools: e.g. Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, etc. Experience with a data pipeline and workflow management tool: Azkaban, Luigi, Airflow, AWS Step Functions etc. Experience with AWS cloud services: EC2, EMR, RDS, Redshift, Kinesis or the equivalent on another cloud platform Experience with stream-processing systems: Storm, Spark-Streaming, etc.

Compensation and Benefits Package offered to employees:

Competitive salary and equity package commensurate with experience Comprehensive benefits including health, vision, dental, and more Unlimited PTO and sick days Flexible work schedules to accommodate remote work

Technology

PowerX combines patented hardware with cutting-edge machine learning to bring plug-and-play energy efficiency to the masses.

PowerX needs only three controllers (Heat, Water, Electricity) to cover an entire building or factory:

PowerX Heat runs water heaters more efficiently. It works plug-and-play with most existing gas and electric water heaters (>100 million) converting even heaters from the 80s into smart home batteries. That is a USD 100 billion market.

PowerX Water is the world's first non-invasive, no maintenance, low cost water meter. It uses ultrasound and Artificial Intelligence to tell apart the end usage (e.g. shower, faucet) of water usage and suggest savings. It can also detect leaks and avoid flooding disasters.

PowerX Electricity measures the electromagnetic pulses in the circuit breaker box more than 1 million times per second. Its artificial intelligence can tell apart hundreds of difference appliances by their electromagnetic signature, pinpoint inefficient devices, identify savings and warn if an appliance starts acting weirdly.

For enterprises, PowerX offers a full-fledged CO2 analysis software, capturing CO2 inventory, comparing it against policy targets and using artificial intelligence to suggest CO2 mitigation options.
