Staff Forward-Deployed Engineer

The grid is the largest machine humans have ever built, and it's running on infrastructure designed for a world where electricity flowed one direction from a few big power plants to a lot of dumb meters. That world is gone. Utilities today need to run real-time grid operations, predict transformer failures before they happen, integrate distributed energy resources, break down decades of data silos, and defer hundreds of millions in capital costs — and they're trying to do all of it on infrastructure that wasn't built for any of it. Texture is the data and software layer that makes the modern grid possible.

We're 14 people, post-Series A, hiring our next Staff Forward-Deployed Engineer.

You'll be embedded with a small group of our customers — smaller, member-owned electric utilities (often rural) and the manufacturers of the energy hardware they buy — from kickoff through production. That means:
