We’re at a pivotal moment for AI and energy. Demand for compute is skyrocketing, but power constraints are becoming a critical bottleneck. Emerald AI sits at the intersection of these two worlds, enabling AI data centers to scale without overwhelming the grid.
Our Emerald Conductor software platform makes data centers flexible and responsive, allowing them to adjust power usage dynamically. This unlocks massive AI growth without major new infrastructure, while also strengthening the grid and supporting the expansion of renewable energy.
We’re a team of experts across AI, cloud, software, and energy—on a mission to scale AI sustainably. We’re backed by leading investors and partners including Radical Ventures and NVIDIA.

About the RoleWe’re looking for a Product Manager, Grid Services to own the roadmap for Emerald AI’s grid-interactive orchestration capabilities.
In this role, you will define the systems that allow AI data centers to respond intelligently to energy constraints, utility signals, and grid events—while preserving workload reliability and performance. You’ll work across software, energy markets, and data center infrastructure to build products that coordinate telemetry, forecasting, controls, and optimization logic in real time.
This is a highly strategic and technical role at the intersection of AI infrastructure, data center operations, and grid services. You’ll help define how flexible AI load participates in grid programs, how infrastructure responds to real-time constraints, and how Emerald delivers economic value to both customers and the power system.
