What is Verse?
The race to AI has become the race to power. Every breakthrough in artificial
intelligence depends on one thing: access to electricity. But across the
country, aging grid infrastructure and years-long interconnection queues are
slowing the deployment of the data centers that will power the next generation
of innovation. Solving this challenge isn't just about energy—it's about
unlocking the future of AI.
At Verse, we're building the energy intelligence platform for the AI economy.
Our software helps the world's largest energy consumers achieve faster, cheaper,
and cleaner power by combining real-time control of energy assets with complete
visibility into their energy portfolio. Backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, GV,
Coatue, and NVIDIA, and built by pioneers in grid-scale batteries, energy
markets, and enterprise software, we're redefining how the world's most
ambitious organizations access and manage energy.
The Role
You will be a member of the technical staff developing product experiences for
our Dispatch Intelligence users – customers who want and have battery energy
storage systems for additional energy cost savings or faster interconnection
times. In this role, you will serve in a “full stack” capacity designing,
building, and maintaining frontend and backend components of our energy storage
suite of applications. We use Typescript, React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS,
Radix/ShadCN, Jest, Cypress, Playwright, Vitest, and Storybook with Echarts and
D3/Observable for data visualization for our frontend, and Cloudflare Pages for
hosting and content delivery. We rely on identity and auth platforms like Clerk
for sign-in flows. Our backend is written in Go and Python with Postgres/AlloyDB
and blob storage for data persistence.
Key Responsibilities
* Foster a culture and mindset of well-designed systems, test-driven software,
and proactive communication with a high degree of transparency, mutual
respect, and consideration for teammates
* Collaborate closely with product managers, UI/UX designers, and other
engineers to develop intuitive, user-friendly Buyer Solutions software
experiences
* Design, build, test, debug, maintain, and scale user-facing software and
closely related components up and down the stack
* Integrate frontend components with backend APIs while efficiently rendering
and presenting interactive data visualizations
* Implement backend APIs, middleware, and integrate these layers with databases
* Manage user authentication and authorization, sessions, and tokens using
services like Clerk or Auth0 for secure user login systems.
* Optimize application performance, reliability, and scalability with content
delivery networks
* Evaluate and recommend new software tools, systems, and architectures as the
product evolves
What We're Looking For (Minimum Qualifications)
* Customer empathy and obsession to craft quality user experiences
* Hands-on experience working in both frontend (e.g. Typescript, React) and
backend (e.g. Go, Python) software ecosystems
* Ability to translate complex product requirements into functional software,
and speak the language of engineers and designers
* Commitment to delivering high quality software on time or ahead of schedule
while adhering to best software development practices
* Continuous obsession for staying informed on contemporary technologies,
tools, libraries, services, frameworks, or breakthroughs that could benefit
the team
* Discipline using generative AI tools in day-to-day work
What Will Make You Standout (Preferred Qualifications)
* A bachelor’s degree or higher, not necessarily in a STEM field
* Senior or Staff level software development talent and up
* Proven track record being a technical leader in high-performing product
engineering teams
* Expert programming skills with Typescript and Go, advanced experience with
Python is a big plus
* Advanced experience developing in the gRPC + Protocol Buffer ecosystem (we
use Buf’s Connect SDK)
* Deep knowledge of relational databases, SQL and cloud storage (e.g. GCS or
S3)
* Experience authoring and maintaining UI kits, design systems, component
libraries
* Keen sense and natural intuition for UI/UX design principles
* Understanding of content delivery networks (CDN) and edge server solutions
* Desire to be a generalist throughout the product engineering stack
* Cloud-native system design and architecture knowledge, especially with
container-based tools (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes)
* Technical project management skills in agile, product-focused teams
* Willingness and flexibility to operate in high-pressure environments where
priorities can easily shift or pivot depending on user need
What Makes Verse a Great Place to Work?
* We lead with empathy. Empathy for our teammates and our customers is central
to who we are. We lift each other up and strive to embody humility,
selflessness, and kindness. We promote an emotionally aware attitude and
culture by putting our colleagues and customers first. We respect the prior
art and acknowledge those who have come before us. We never assume we know
everything: every person has something to teach us.
* We are open, honest, and transparent. Organizational and institutional trust
is essential to tackling the world’s most challenging problems. That trust is
built on effective communication with our team, our customers, and other
stakeholders. We are always receptive to feedback on how we could do better,
and we strive to provide constructive recommendations that help others
excel.
* We move with balance and precision. Life is a delicate balance between the
forces of creation, maintenance, and destruction. We understand that each of
these forces must be applied with diligence: When we act, we act carefully
and responsibly. Speed, hard work, and perseverance must be accompanied by
thoughtfulness and reflection.
* We are pursuing a labor of love. We are passionate about renewable energy
technology, and we like to dream big. We are disrupting the largest and most
expensive machine humanity has ever built – the electricity system. We
believe the greatest impact we can have on the climate crisis is through
building elegant solutions and exceptional products that delight our
customers.
