Sales Director, Data Centers

Camus Energy builds software solutions that helps new load and generation connect to the grid faster—without sacrificing reliability.

As electricity demand accelerates and clean energy scales, traditional interconnection processes are becoming the bottleneck. Utilities and developers face growing queues, long timelines, and costly upgrades that slow progress across the grid.

Camus enables flexible grid connections that allow new load and generation to connect sooner by planning for and operating within real system constraints. Our platform bridges the gap between grid operators and large load developers, enabling them to navigate the complex interconnection process and innovate on hybrid grid/on-site solutions to expedite path to power. 

We combine high-reliability software experience from companies like Google and Meta with deep power systems expertise across the utility sector. If you’re excited to work at the intersection of infrastructure, software, and climate, we’d love to hear from you.
