About this role
## About Us
[Fractal Power](https://fractalpower.com) is a vertically integrated power company built for the modern grid. We own and operate across the entire stack, combining utility-scale energy storage infrastructure with algorithmic trading and dispatch to deliver power precisely where and when it's needed most.
We are backed by the world's leading infrastructure and deeptech investors, including [Riot](https://www.riot.vc/), [Definition](https://www.definitioncap.com/), and [Worldbuild](https://www.worldbuild.vc/).
## Why Join Us?
Demand for power is growing at the fastest rate since WWII yet supply is stranded behind worsening transmission and interconnection bottlenecks. The new economy requires a new model of power delivery, one that's vertically integrated, algorithmically operated, and co-located with demand.
We solve the last-mile infrastructure problem by vertically integrating across the entire value chain of American power - from greenfield development, to algorithmic optimization, dispatch, and power trading across a fleet of distributed resources - allowing us to deliver power where and when it's needed most on the grid. We have the ambition, the team, and the zeal to create the next great power company and we are looking for fanatical people to join us.

It's a lean team with a lot of responsibility per person. No politics, no layers of sign-off - just building and shipping, with the people who'll actually use what you build.
