What is Verse?

Organizations today are under growing pressure to navigate the transition to clean energy — not just to meet sustainability goals, but to manage risk, control costs, and build long-term resilience. Yet the complexity of energy markets and a lack of accessible tools have made it difficult for most companies to take meaningful action. Verse was created to change that.

Our mission is to make the case for clean energy irrefutable. Through our AI-powered platform, Aria, we help organizations plan, procure, and operate clean energy to achieve their financial and sustainability goals. Verse transforms clean energy ambition into action — giving businesses the clarity and confidence to lead in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

The Role

As a Software Engineer focused on Embedded Systems at Verse, you will be working closely with our energy solutions partners to design, implement, and test distributed energy resource controls and telemetry software on customer hardware at sites around the world. You will be part of a dynamic, high-performance team building applications directly on bare-metal or on hardware-level virtualization platforms. As an advanced technical leader in embedded systems development, engineering teams will look to you for best standards and practices for interfacing with on-premises grid assets using solutions you will build and maintain.

Key Responsibilities

• Foster a culture and mindset of well-designed systems, test-driven software, and transparent communication with a high caliber of mutual respect and consideration for stakeholders
• Mentor and support career and junior level engineers in their embedded systems career development
• Collaborate closely with energy solutions providers on their proprietary hardware and on-premises software stacks
• Design, implement, and test software for supervisory distributed energy resource control and telemetry applications with heterogeneous OEM hardware, sensor / actual networks, and remote terminal units
• Develop high-performance, production-grade applications optimized for resource- and bandwidth-constrained environments
• Provide specifications for over-the-air (OTA) update of on-prem software and remote access solutions for customers
• Implement and enforce best security practices for critical infrastructure and cyber-physical systems
