About the role
- You'll need to understand what happens when a meter times out, when a site loses cloud connectivity for 24 hours, or when a BESS OEM ships a firmware update that breaks your control interface.
Responsibilities
- Own the product roadmap for fleet telemetry and site-to-cloud infrastructure - spanning OEM device integration (Tesla, Sungrow, Fluence), real-time site controllers (net export limits, demand management, solar ITC, safety shutdown), telemetry ingestion, alarm management, and cloud-to-site dispatch execution.
- Drive the OEM integration strategy across BESS manufacturers and meter hardware defining device mapping standards, polling configurations, and site topology management for increasingly complex multi-device installations.
- Partner closely with the UI Product Manager to translate 24/7 fleet management workflows into product requirements for commissioning tools, alarm triage, urgent shutdown, and dispatch monitoring.
- Work with Engineering to scope and prioritize across both pods, making trade-off decisions between new OEM support, reliability improvements, scale readiness, and feature delivery against contractual UAT milestones.
- Experience building products that operate across edge and cloud with real-time dispatch or control loops - robotics, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, or fleet management systems.
- Verse helps these organizations manage complex power portfolios with confidence by unifying energy data, planning, forecasting, and operations in one tool.
Requirements
- We believe speed and perseverance must be accompanied by thoughtfulness and reflection
- Direct experience with device communication protocols and the messy realities of integrating across multiple OEM vendors with different APIs, firmware versions, and data formats.
- Direct experience in battery energy storage, microgrids, or distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS).
- You know what a net export limit is, why solar ITC compliance matters, and how demand charge management works.
- Technical degree (Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechatronics, or similar) or equivalent hands-on experience with control systems.
- Move with Balance & Precision: We believe speed and perseverance must be accompanied by thoughtfulness and reflection
