About the RoleElectric grid planning depends on enormous amounts of complex data, often spread across disconnected systems and incompatible formats. Tapestry is building a new foundation for managing that complexity.
As an Engineering Manager, Grid Model Management, you will lead the team building the platform that brings large-scale grid models together into a consistent, reliable source of truth.
This is a highly technical leadership role at the intersection of distributed systems, complex data infrastructure, and the physical power grid. You will set technical direction, grow a high-performing engineering team, and build systems that enable grid planners to manage and evolve complex models with greater speed and confidence.
How You Will Make 10X Impact- Architect "Git for the Grid": Lead the technical strategy for a platform that enables teams to version, compare, branch, merge, and collaborate on large-scale grid models.
- Build a scalable grid data foundation: Design systems that bring together complex grid data across different formats, time horizons, and planning scenarios.
- Scale ingestion and validation: Develop reliable, high-throughput pipelines and automated quality checks that turn fragmented data into trusted, production-ready models.
- Set the technical vision: Define an architecture that can scale with Tapestry's products, partners, and increasingly complex grid-planning needs.
- Build and develop an exceptional team: Hire, mentor, and grow engineers while fostering a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and ownership.
- Bridge technology and the energy domain: Partner with Product, UX, Data Science, Machine Learning, and Power Systems experts to translate complex grid challenges into intuitive, reliable software.
- Enable global impact: Build capabilities that can adapt to the needs of grid operators and energy partners across different markets and regions.
What You Should Have- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- 8+ years of experience designing and building complex software, distributed systems, or data infrastructure.
- 3+ years of experience directly managing software engineering teams, including hiring, developing engineers, and delivering complex products.
- Strong experience with distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and large-scale data platforms, including graph or spatial data systems.
- Experience designing systems involving complex state management, data versioning, event-driven architectures, or similar technical challenges.
- Strong architectural judgment, with demonstrated experience setting technical direction for complex systems.
- Ability to translate complex technical, mathematical, or physical-domain requirements into scalable, reliable software.
It'd be great if you also had one or more of these- Familiarity with electric grid modeling, transmission planning, power flow, or related power systems concepts.
- Experience with industry standards or formats such as CIM/CGMES, PSS/E, PSLF, or similar technologies.
- Experience with knowledge graphs, semantic technologies, graph databases, or geospatial systems.
- Experience building collaborative platforms involving versioning, editing, review, comparison, or change tracking.
