About Terawatt Infrastructure

Terawatt Infrastructure is the leader in financing, developing, and operating electric vehicle charging solutions. Our mission is to power electrified fleets with the most reliable network of charging centers. With increasing demand for electric vehicles, we are facing a once-in-a-century technology transition. The market for EV charging infrastructure is expected to grow to $1 trillion by 2040. The nation needs a long-term partner in the inevitable transition to all-electric transportation. At Terawatt, you will join your team in delivering quality end-to-end charging solutions.

At Terawatt, we own, develop, operate, and maintain charging sites and operational solutions to form the backbone of commercial EV transport in the U.S. We execute humbly and with urgency to provide energy and charging solutions that delight our clients and support the transition to clean, electrified transport.

Impact to Climate Change:

Transportation creates 23% of all greenhouse gas emissions each year. Electrifying transportation is priority #1 to impact climate change. By electrifying fleets, we can mitigate more than 70% of mobility CO2 urban emissions, remove 50% of city air pollution, and help fleet operators meet Net Zero commitments.

We are building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. At Terawatt, we continuously strive to foster inclusion, humility, energizing relationships, and belonging, and welcome new ideas. We're growing and want you to grow with us. We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.

Role Description

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Data Engineer to join our growing team. In this role, you will primarily focus on designing and implementing scalable and efficient data architectures to support our business needs. You will collaborate closely with data scientists, analysts, and other cross-functional teams to build and optimize data pipelines, ensuring that data is accessible, secure, and well-structured for analytics and reporting.

A key part of this role involves developing and maintaining data models, databases, and data lakes while implementing robust data governance and quality assurance practices. You will drive the creation of efficient and scalable data infrastructures, ensuring alignment with the company's architecture standards and best practices.

Additionally, we are looking for someone who exhibits curiosity and a genuine willingness to learn about the energy management domain, EV charging management, and operating charging sites and networks. Your understanding of the domain will grow over time, and you'll be expected to incorporate this knowledge into the design and optimization of data systems that support the business’s key processes and decision-making in this space.

While your core focus will be on data engineering and architecture, a basic understanding of software development practices will help you collaborate effectively with software engineers to integrate data solutions into production systems.

Core Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain scalable data architectures and systems, including data lakes
• Architect and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines for seamless data ingestion and transformation from multiple data sources
• Develop and enforce data governance and quality assurance standards to ensure data accuracy, integrity, and consistency across systems
• Implement best practices for data modeling and database design to support business intelligence and analytics needs
• Collaborate with data analysts, scientists, and other stakeholders to understand data requirements and deliver efficient data solutions
• Conduct regular data validation, troubleshooting, and performance tuning of data systems to optimize efficiency
• Collaborate with software engineers to integrate data solutions, leveraging a basic understanding of API development and data flow within software systems

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field
• 3+ years of experience in data engineering, with a focus on data architecture
• Proficiency in designing and implementing data warehouses, databases, and data lakes
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure for data storage and processing
• Expertise in SQL and proficiency with NoSQL databases (e.g., MongoDB)
• Strong knowledge of ETL/ELT processes and tools (e.g., data bricks, Airflow, or AWS Glue)
• Experience in data modeling, schema design, and performance tuning
• Hands-on experience with Big Data technologies like Hadoop, Spark, or Kafka
• Understanding of data governance frameworks and quality assurance processes
