GridCARE is a leading venture-backed startup solving the most critical constraint in AI’s growth trajectory: immediate access to power. As demand for computing skyrockets, access to energy has become the defining bottleneck in the AI infrastructure race. While leading tech companies invest billions in speculative, long-term solutions that may take decades to arrive, GridCARE’s pioneering physics-based generative AI platform unlocks gigawatts of hidden capacity in today’s electric grid — enabling hyperscalers, data center developers, and utilities to power AI infrastructure years sooner than conventional approaches and without costly upgrades.
Founded at Stanford’s Doerr School of Sustainability and backed by leading climate-tech and deep-tech investors, GridCARE has assembled a world-class team spanning power systems, AI, and infrastructure.
At GridCARE, you will:
⚡ Work at the intersection of AI, energy, and infrastructure — the foundation of the next industrial revolution.
🤝 Partner with hyperscalers, developers, and utilities on high-impact, real-world deployments.
🌎 Help shape a more abundant, efficient, and resilient energy future for the digital era.
🚀 Join a company defining a new category — capacity acceleration for AI.
💰 Receive competitive compensation, equity, and benefits in a fast-growth, mission-driven environment.
