Grid Solutions Lead, (Tapestry)

About Tapestry

Tapestry is an energy intelligence company incubated at X, the Moonshot Factory, the innovation lab within Alphabet. We are building the intelligence layer for the future electric grid. Our mission is to make the grid visible, predictable, and optimized through advanced AI systems so clean and reliable energy is available for everyone.

The grid is one of the most important and complex systems in the world. It is under increasing pressure from electrification, renewable adoption, and climate-driven volatility. Tapestry creates the software and models that help utilities and grid operators understand what is happening, anticipate what is coming, and respond with confidence.

Our team brings together experts in AI, energy systems, software engineering, and product design. We operate with the agility of a young company supported by the technical rigor and resources in Alphabet’s ecosystem.

If you want to work on problems that matter and build tools with real impact, we would love to meet you.

About The Role

Tapestry is building the digital backbone for the future of the electric grid. We are seeking a Grid Solutions Lead to bring Tapestry’s products to more utilities and energy market participants around the world, taking our platform and making it work within the complex, reality of our customers’ environments.

Our Grid Solutions team is a project-focused, technical strike team. You are responsible for Time-to-Value. You will screen potential customers to assess technical fit and/or risks, manage ingestion and transformation of data, and deliver fully functional product environments.

This role and team will also lead strategic experiments that push the boundaries of what our tools can do.

How You Will Make 10x Impact

Build and lead the Grid Solutions function

• Establish the processes and playbook for customer delivery, moving from ad-hoc processes to a repeatable, scalable professional services engine.
• Define success metrics for the team, specifically focusing on Time-to-Value (how fast is the product live?) and Screening Volume (how efficiently are we assessing opportunities?).
  
  

Lead screening and technical due diligence

• Lead cross functional teams to act as the technical gatekeeper for Tapestry’s business pipeline. Evaluate business opportunities to identify data risks early.
• Conduct rapid assessments of customer grid data (CIM, PSS/E, GIS, etc.) to determine if prospects are ready for Tapestry products
  
  

Product delivery & data transformation

• Lead customer and partner onboarding; oversee ingestion, cleaning, and transformation of utility datasets into the Tapestry platform.
• Work closely with the customer’s engineering teams to resolve topology errors, steady-state modeling discrepancies, and data gaps.
• Train user groups on the platform, ensuring they move from "access" to "adoption" quickly.
  
  

Manage strategic experiments

• Lead special projects that don't fit the standard deployment box.
• Design and execute experiments to validate new use cases or test entry into new international markets.
• Feed learnings from these experiments back to Tapestry’s product roadmap
  
  

Who You Are

You are an energy sector specialist, engineer, or technical consultant who loves solving the puzzle of grid data. You understand that software applications to transform the grid are only as good as the data feeding them, and you have the ability to convene and manage multi-disciplinary teams to make this data useable and bring enterprise software solutions to life.

• Mindset: You are comfortable working with ambiguity. If a customer sends a corrupted file, you don't wait for a ticket—you figure out how to parse it.You are project-oriented.
• Energy sector domain expertise: deep familiarity with grid data and other technical grid topics including but not limited to using machine learning to transform grid management and power systems analysis.
• Data fluency: Experience with data transformation and scripting and an understanding of utility GIS.
• Customer Presence: You can sit in a room with utility engineers and planners and speak their language, gaining their trust as a peer and expert.
  
  

What You Should Have

• 5 years of experience in power systems engineering, utility consulting, or technical implementation of energy software.
• Proven experience delivering complex technical projects to external clients.
• Deep understanding of the transmission and/or distribution planning and/or operations.
• Ability to translate complex technical blockers into business risks for Tapestry teams.
