We are tackling one of the world’s most important infrastructure challenges: helping the energy system become more visible, understandable, reliable, affordable, abundant, and clean.\r\nOriginally born at X, Alphabet’s moonshot factory, Tapestry brings together experts in energy, AI, software, engineering, and product to build tools that help the electricity ecosystem plan smarter, move faster, and operate more efficiently.\r\nThis is a global effort. Tapestry supports partners across the U.S., U.K., Chile, New Zealand, Australia, and Brazil as they work toward a cleaner, more resilient energy future.\r\nJoining Tapestry means doing high‑impact work with a multidisciplinary team tackling a problem that matters at global scale. Learn more about our team and our mission here.\r\nAbout the roleAs a Developer Productivity & Infrastructure Engineer, you won’t just be keeping the lights on; you will be the force multiplier for our entire engineering org.
