Full-Time
Gridware exists to enhance and protect the mother of all networks: the electrical grid. The grid touches everyone and makes our modern economy possible. But it’s also fragile. When the grid goes down, everything grinds to a halt, and the consequences can be dire: wildfires burn, land is destroyed, property is damaged, progress stops, and lives are lost.
Our team builds smart sensors that help utility companies to immediately detect, find, and fix outages and take steps to prevent new outages from happening. The need for power will only increase. We protect the grid of today while we build the grid of tomorrow.
Gridware is privately held and backed by the best climate-tech and Silicon Valley investors in the world. We are headquartered in the Bay Area in northern California.
