Senior Software Engineer

Satoshi Energy is at the forefront of energy innovation – championing the colocation of bitcoin and A.I. data centers with renewable energy generation. As a first mover in 2018, we have developed nearly 500 MW of data centers in ERCOT, with an additional 3 GWs of data center projects under development. We are actively expanding our footprint as our customers push us to grow! 

Building on learnings from our development business, we are pursuing an even larger opportunity – fast, accurate, and transparent energy transactions. Energy transactions today are slow, opaque, and inefficient - increasing risk and cost between buyers and sellers. Our software solution, Bitcurrent, enables energy transactions to happen automatically, 24/7, with digital money. 

There will be a future where every kilowatt-hour is paid for instantaneously - Satoshi Energy is building this future today.
