About the role

  • Do you want to work with high caliber professionals in a dynamic and growing company?
  • Are you entrepreneurial, hard-working, and collegial?
  • Join us at SB Energy, a leading company backed by SoftBank and Ares pairing cutting-edge innovation with best-in-class execution.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate AI-enabled data and workflow systems for the full data center lifecycle, from siting and development through engineering, construction readiness, commissioning, operations handoff, performance monitoring, and lessons learned.
  • Maintain governance and production readiness for data center workflows, including stakeholder acceptance criteria, approval gates, data contracts, quality checks, eval datasets, MCP/API connector requirements, RBAC, audit logging, monitoring, runbooks, incident paths, adoption metrics, and controlled releases.
  • Build source-linked project intelligence workflows that retrieve, summarize, compare, and cite information from SharePoint, design packages, agreements, studies, schedules, trackers, vendor materials, and approved systems of record.
  • Create and maintain core project and engineering records, including assumption trackers, obligation registers, decision logs, risk registers, readiness trackers, handoff packets, and source-linked documentation that connect evidence to accountable owners.
  • Support operations and lifecycle performance workflows that connect AI workload forecasts, weather forecasts, PV/BESS performance models, grid import limits, load flexibility, thermal and electrical co-optimization, asset condition, maintenance planning, and operating constraints.
  • Partner with data center operations teams to translate operating procedures, alarms, maintenance events, capacity constraints, availability targets, and performance issues into source-linked workflows, dashboards, agent tools, and continuous-improvement loops.
  • Experience translating complex engineering, infrastructure, or project workflows into practical software, data products, automations, dashboards, APIs, agent workflows, or decision-support tools.
  • Strong judgment around data permissions, cybersecurity, confidentiality, document provenance, source citation, system-of-record boundaries, engineering approval boundaries, production support, and operational risk.
  • Ability to work directly with engineering, development, construction, procurement, operations, SCADA, cybersecurity, finance, legal, commercial, IT, Digital Platform, external implementation partners, and senior stakeholders.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to convert ambiguous needs into clear workflow designs, technical requirements, acceptance criteria, runbooks, review processes, and measurable success metrics.

Requirements

  • Strong understanding of project data workflows, including documents, schedules, assumptions, risks, obligations, milestones, approvals, handoffs, source-of-record controls, and cross-functional ownership.
  • Experience with Python, SQL, APIs, data pipelines, cloud platforms, CI/CD, logging, monitoring, SharePoint, Teams, Outlook, Microsoft Graph, Monday.com, Databricks, Azure, or similar enterprise systems.

Nice to have
