We’re a team of friends bound together by a mission to preserve our planet for future generations through innovative energy solutions and modern infrastructure. In December 2025, Google announced an agreement to acquire Intersect, to enable more data center and generation capacity to come online faster while accelerating energy development and innovation. After close, we’ll continue doing exactly what we were built to do - develop, construct, and operate the most ambitious power and data infrastructure in the country.   Intersect’s operations will remain separate from Alphabet and Google under the Intersect brand. We’re on an aggressive growth trajectory and looking for people hungry to tackle the largest energy challenges on the planet.    Location & Team Gatherings   Intersect has been a fully flexible workplace since its founding in 2016.  We’ve been very intentional about the way we do things. We are not work-from-home, hybrid, or in-office - we are any and all of those options! Deepening social connections and offering shared experiences is a cornerstone of the way we work. We connect as a team at our Team Week experiences four times a year and at our recently established Hub locations - SF Bay Area, NYC Metro Area, NY; Denver, CO; Austin, TX; Calgary, AB; and Toronto, ON.   We are currently looking for candidates located within 60 miles of any of the listed hubs to foster more in-person connections while maintaining our flexible remote culture. About This Role   As part of Intersect’s Development team function, you’ll lead technical regulatory development efforts in ERCOT while helping shape how co-located generation and large load projects integrate into evolving market structures. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, development, commercial strategy, and market design ensuring our projects are built in harmony with nodal protocols, legislative reforms, and operational realities. Planned to start immediately, this role is expected to contribute at full capacity from Day 1. Success means influencing market rules, defending business-critical positions, and advancing reforms that enable Intersect’s differentiated co-location model to scale in ERCOT and ultimately expand into new markets like SPP.   Team Overview   This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect’s mission to accelerate the clean energy transition by shaping the market frameworks that enable innovative project structures to succeed. Working cross-functionally with Development, Engineering, Power Marketing, Commercial, and Operations, the role ensures that policy, protocol, and commercial structures align, reducing risk, unlocking value, and enabling scalable growth. Joining this team means influencing how power markets evolve while building expertise at the forefront of grid transformation.   What You’ll Do   Shape ERCOT Market Strategy & Protocol Development <ul style="margin-top: 0px;
