Senior Backend Developer (TypeScript) to $5000

Phage.Energy is a deep-tech Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platform.
We unify distributed energy assets, operational constraints, and market processes into a single real-time control system — from telemetry ingestion to dispatch and execution confirmation.

This is a backend-heavy product operating in real time, where reliability, determinism, and control logic are critical.
 

What You’ll Be Building

• The VPP control core: assets, groups/clusters, operating modes, and constraints.
• Telemetry processing and maintenance of the current platform state (availability, limits, readiness).
• Dispatch logic: preparing, sending, tracking, and validating control commands; handling retries and failures.
• Aggregation of platform-level indicators (power, availability, readiness) for dashboards and optimization logic.
• Production-grade behavior: stability, observability, fault tolerance, and predictable execution.
