What

we are looking for

The power sector is undergoing its biggest transformation in a century, and legacy tools were not made to handle this level of complexity. Equilibrium is building a new kind of power company that can work with an increasingly intricate energy mix, manage large fleets of resources, and integrate algorithmic and human decision-making with sophisticated insights coming from every part of the stack.

We are looking for an experienced Frontend or Full-Stack Engineer to shape and scale this vision, creating the intelligent backbone to power a resilient grid.
What you will do

As a Sr. Staff/Principal Engineer at Equilibrium, you will be instrumental in shaping the future of energy software.

You’ll drive critical frontend architecture decisions and strategic initiatives, shaping the experience for both internal customers and large power companies. We are building a deeply interconnected ecosystem of front end applications within a complex domain, creating software that enables both powerful automation and human agency. You’ll need to navigate complex, ambiguous problem spaces and translate intricate domain requirements into elegant, scalable UIs.

You will also play an important role in the mentorship and growth of junior colleagues, acting as a technical leader and mentor within the engineering team, while embodying a collaborative approach by serving as a key voice to drive technical alignment across multiple programs.

In short: there will be many opportunities for your expertise to shine.
