Who We Are

Lancium builds gigawatt-scale campuses for AI data centers. We develop and orchestrate all power infrastructure at the campus, including the grid interconnect, behind the meter solar, and large-scale battery energy storage systems. We currently have 5+ Gigawatts of capacity in various stages of development, and our projects under construction today are some of the largest in the world.

We are backed by leading strategic and financial investors, including Blackstone, Shell, and Arclight, and have spent 6 years developing the infrastructure platform and are now rapidly accelerating the commercialization of our solutions into the market. Artificial Intelligence and the massive amount of energy it demands, balancing of that demand with supply – ideally clean resources – is collectively the mega-trend of our lifetimes.

• Track customer usage patterns and meter data to identify anomalies.
• Reconcile ERCOT settlement data (e.g., RTEIAMT, RTM, DAM, AS, UFE) and investigate discrepancies.
• Provide support to accounting and finance teams throughout the customer billing process.
• Prepare comprehensive quarterly market intelligence reports for AI datacenter customers, highlighting critical ERCOT market developments, trends, and opportunities to minimize delivered energy costs.

What We Want From You

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a quantitative field (e.g., Engineering, Data Science).
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Word, PowerPoint, and advanced Excel skills.
• Familiarity with ERCOT systems, such as MIS and MarkeTrak APIs.
• Working knowledge of ERCOT protocols, settlement charge types, and market timelines.
• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency in Python or similar programming languages for data analysis, modeling, automation, and visualization.
• Familiarity with statistical modeling, optimization techniques, and forecasting algorithms.
• Demonstrated enthusiasm for continuous learning and a strong interest in the energy sector.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Previous experience in the ERCOT market preferred
• Previous experience building dashboards for visualizing complex analytics preferred
