Gridmatic Podcast – Retail Engineering – Episode 2
Building software for retail energy means working with legacy systems, an alphabet soup of industry acronyms, and rules that shift by ISO and utility. In this episode of The Gridmatic Podcast, Kise Shannon (VP, Sales & Business Development) talks with Kevin, Remi, and Melody on Gridmatic’s Retail Engineering team based in Cupertino, about what drew them to the company, the learning curve of picking up retail energy’s terminology, and why they decided to build their pricing and contracting engine in-house instead of relying on a vendor. They dig into what surprised them most about working closely with Gridmatic’s Houston-based retail team, the technical challenge of expanding into new markets and utilities, and where they think AI and automation take retail energy next. Stick around for the lightning round: desk essentials, hidden talents, and one engineer’s vegetable-related superpower!
