FAQ:

What’s your policy on remote work?

We value the ability to work and collaborate in-person in our early stage as a startup, so Gridmatic has a hybrid policy of "50% in-office” (2 or 3 days a week).

How does the interview process work?

We start with 1-2 initial conversations about the role, your past experience, and Gridmatic as a company. If that goes well, you’d come onsite to Houston to talk to the team and potentially meet with some leaders remotely in Cupertino.

Gridmatic is an equal opportunity employer and encourages all applicants from every background and life experience.
