Application Engineer, Data Center Software

About this role

Utilidata is a fast-growing NVIDIA-backed AI company enabling AI data centers to dynamically orchestrate power and unlock more compute capacity from existing energy infrastructure. For over a decade, we have applied AI to the electric grid — bringing real-time visibility and power-flow control to complex energy infrastructure. Our Karman platform, built on a custom NVIDIA module, brings that same capability to AI data centers, giving operators a way to better use the power already available to them.

We are looking for an Application Engineer, Data Center Software to join our Technical Programs team. This is a founding role in a new Application Engineering function, responsible for building the integration layer — custom API connectors, configuration checkers, and test frameworks — between Karman and the diverse software environments operated by our data center customers. This person will work directly with customer operations and engineering teams to define requirements, lead technical discussions, and translate customer needs into integration designs. Because the integration surface is still being defined, this role carries real influence over how Karman's software integrations take shape, including the processes, tools, and standards that future engineers will build on. We are looking for candidates who are technically deep, customer-savvy, and energized by the challenge of building new integration surfaces in a fast-moving product environment.

Responsibilities

• Work directly with customer data center operations and engineering teams to assess software environments, lead integration discussions, and translate requirements into actionable designs across DCIM platforms, custom dashboards, hypervisors, and management APIs
• Design, develop, and validate custom API connectors between Karman and customer-specific data center software systems
• Validate server builds against Karman's software requirements; write and execute configuration checkers and tes...
