About Emerald AI
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 Role
Emerald 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 Responsibilities
- Work 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.
Minimum Requirements
- 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).
