Peak Power Hiring for Data Engineer at Canada Full Time

The current, centralized electricity system is not sustainable. Between the climate crisis, state-wide blackouts, aging infrastructure, and rising costs, the system needs a huge overhaul. The demand for electricity is high – and getting higher – and big power plants aren’t meeting our needs. We say it’s time to disrupt and decentralize.

At Peak Power, we’re energy nerds that develop software for the real estate sector. Our tech turns commercial buildings and industrial facilities into hubs in a new, decentralized electricity system. This means cleaner, more reliable, and more affordable electricity. We’re powering the clean energy revolution.

Your people, process and technology skills will be especially valuable as you work with your team and others.

This work matters. Even a small change to optimize power utilization can have a huge impact to our customers, our electrical grid and our environment. We’re building something that will have a lasting, positive impact.
