What to Expect
Tesla Energy Optimization Team develops and maintains the cloud services that
power the Autobidder and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platforms. These
platforms provide automated optimization, market bidding, monitoring, and real
time energy dispatch of some of the largest industrial battery sites powered
by Tesla Megapacks and growing fleet of Tesla VPPs. We are looking into
scaling the services and infrastructure to support hundreds of gigawatt-hours
around the globe.
About Our Team
Our team is comprised of engineers who are passionate about distributed
systems, scaling, and functional programming, working primarily with Scala,
Akka, Kubernetes, and Python. We collaborate closely with algorithm engineers
and market analysts to design highly available, online software solutions and
offline simulation platforms.
