The Role
This is a hybrid operations and technical role centered on automation - taking the manual processes that keep a fast-growing retail energy provider running and rebuilding them so they run themselves. At most retail energy providers, legacy systems and process ownership are locked in, and there's limited room to change how things work. At Gridmatic, we're not looking to just do things better - we want to do them differently.
Must have - top priority
- Dialer file automation: Automate producing and delivering call center dialer files for outbound campaigns.
- Automation / systems integration
- Audit & alerting: Build audits and exception reporting for key processes, with live alerts via Slack and Grafana.
- Data quality / observability
- Bill run audit: Automate bill validation to catch errors before they reach customers.
- Data validation / QA automation
Should have - important, less urgent
- Operations work queue: Automate pulling and working market transactions (enrollments, rejects, drops). Long-term: a queue-based tool for the ops team.
- ETL / automation, light app development
- EDI archiving: Archive EDI files from our billing vendor's SFTP before they age off after 6 months.
Nice to have
- Complex billing automation: Automate the manual Excel-based billing process for flexible-load customers.

- Data pipeline / automation
Beyond the project list
- New market entry: Stand up operations and technical processes for each new market launch.
- Product development: Build data/billing infrastructure for large or flexible-load customer products outside our standard system.
- Engineering liaison & data modeling: Translate operations needs into engineering requirements; help shape how our pricing/contracting system models productsand customers.
- Data modeling / architecture
- System support: Support third party platforms and assist with any migrations.
- Vendor evaluation / systems strategy
What we're looking for
• Strong SQL skills and experience building queries and reports against production data.
• Experience automating manual or error-prone business processes (ETL, scripting, workflow tooling).
• Comfort working with monitoring/alerting tools (e.g., Grafana, Slack integrations) or similar.
• Ability to translate business or operational requirements into technical specs and work with engineers to implement
them.
• Experience in retail energy, billing systems, or another regulated/transactional industry is a plus.
• Comfort with ambiguity and shifting priorities - we're a startup, and this role will help shape its own scope.
Why this role
You'll have direct, visible impact on the accuracy and scale of our operations, with the autonomy to identify problems and
build the solution end to end. As we grow, this role has room to grow with it, including deeper involvement in data
architecture and new market launches.
