Other roles include Front End Engineer, Senior Software Engineer and more.
See all our open roles and apply here: https://grnh.se/30f1ece22us
Want to work on helping to decarbonize the electric grid and transportation in the US? (the two biggest sectors for impact)
Want to do it at scale? (we control over 1.9 million devices across the US making up over 3 gigawatts of electrical load for utilities that service 1/3rd of the entire US population)
Come work with me building some of the largest VPPs (virtual power plants) on the planet at EnergyHub. (What's a VPP? See page two of https://kevinjkircher.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/DOE-LPO...)
EnergyHub’s software makes it easy for millions of smart device owners to partner with their utility and help decarbonize the grid. Our platform lets consumers turn their smart thermostats, electric cars, EV chargers, batteries, and other products into virtual power plants that keep the grid stable and enable higher utilization of solar and wind power. You’ll be a part of building the tech that’s at the center of it all.
All roles are remote but if you like offices we have them in Brooklyn, NY and Burlington, VT.
Note that we can NOT sponsor visas at this time.
At Goblins, we're building America's favorite teacher, starting with K-12 math. We're live in thousands of classrooms for in-class assignments, extra practice, and homework. Students work on a whiteboard while our models analyze their work in real time and nudge them with questions that make them think. Teachers get instant visibility into how the class is doing, who needs help, and what to assign next.
We just raised our seed round and are backed by the Gates Foundation, giving us the ability to build something transformative in education.
Here's what you might work on:
- Create shareable "aha moment" videos from real student sessions.
Turn anonymized whiteboard work and Goblin–student dialogues into short videos or interactive replays that highlight the value of Goblins. Automatically identify the best moments, strip out sensitive data, and produce artifacts that teachers, parents, and districts want to watch and share.
- Rewrite our diffusion transformer real-time avatar stack.
Our Goblin avatars are already in production. Improve audio–motion sync, temporal coherence, and expressiveness, while cutting latency and cost so they run smoothly at 100k+ student scale.
- Extend continuous diagnostics to high-stakes like the SAT and ACT.
We track mastery against state standards with our spin on IRT. Extend this to SAT/ACT-style exams: infer score distributions from behavior, validate on real data, and compute minimal targeted practice that reliably moves predicted scores.
- Design uncheatable problem formats.
Generative AI can solve most traditional math problems and show fake work. Build formats where copying is harder than thinking: dynamic graphs, constructive proofs, counterexample generation, debugging flawed solutions, multi-step conceptual checks. Make them auto-gradable, resistant to copy-paste, and stable at scale.
- Build real-time instructional agents.
Detect underlying student misconceptions from their work and have an agent "drop in" only when needed. It should generate short, visual, 3blue1brown-style explanations tailored to the specific misunderstanding, and create diagrams, animations, and interactive examples that adapt as the student responds.
The role is based in our Williamsburg, Brooklyn office in NYC (on-site only). You'll join our tight-knit founding engineering team of 3—myself (the CTO) and two founding engineers with collective experience from Stanford, Stripe, Amazon, and X1.
As our third founding engineer, you'll have full ownership of critical projects and ship production systems that impact thousands of students and teachers in real classrooms within your first few weeks.
