We’re at a pivotal moment for AI and energy. Demand for compute is skyrocketing, but power constraints are becoming a critical bottleneck. Emerald AI sits at the intersection of these two worlds, enabling AI data centers to scale without overwhelming the grid.
Our Emerald Conductor software platform makes data centers flexible and responsive, allowing them to adjust power usage dynamically. This unlocks massive AI growth without major new infrastructure, while also strengthening the grid and supporting the expansion of renewable energy.
We’re a team of experts across AI, cloud, software, and energy—on a mission to scale AI sustainably. We’re backed by leading investors and partners including Radical Ventures and NVIDIA.

About the RoleEmerald AI is looking for a Full Stack Engineer to help build the core software platform that enables intelligent operation of AI data centers. In this role, you’ll work across the stack—from designing intuitive web UIs and client interfaces to developing robust back-end services and APIs. You’ll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to turn real-time infrastructure data into actionable insights that drive performance and power efficiency.
Key ResponsibilitiesWork across the full software stack, from crafting intuitive web UIs and client interfaces to implementing the backend services and databases that support them.
Drive projects from ideation through launch building Server Driven UI components, dashboards, client-friendly schemas, and developing backend microservices & APIs for Emerald’s software suite
Ensure systems are scalable, performant, and reliable driving best practices in code quality, testing, and deployment.
Collaborate with a cross-functional team to turn new algorithms and models into scalable, reliable software processes integrated into the product.
Proficiency in both backend and frontend development; comfortable working with a modern backend language (e.g., Python, Java, Node.js, Go) and a frontend framework (e.g., React, Angular, vue.js).
Experience building and deploying web applications, including designing APIs and working with databases (SQL or NoSQL) and data processing pipelines.
Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, version control, testing) and best practices for maintainable code.
Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with a track record of working effectively in collaborative, cross-functional teams.
Enthusiasm for working in a fast-paced startup environment, with the ability to adapt to changing needs and take initiative in a small team setting.
