Entry Level Software Engineer (PADO, a startup supported by LG NOVA)
PADO AI Orchestration, Inc., a groundbreaking new venture backed by LG NOVA, is revolutionizing energy management for the modern data center. Pado is led by a team of serial and tech entrepreneurs, with over 60+ years of experience in the energy and AI space. We leverage proprietary AI and ML to empower data centers to optimize power consumption, enhance resilience, and significantly improve operational efficiency. As the demand for AI-driven compute power escalates, data centers face unprecedented energy challenges. PADO offers the intelligent orchestration needed to navigate this complex landscape.
PADO is backed by LG NOVA, the North American Innovation division of LG Electronics.
As we scale, we’re looking for a motivated entry level Software Engineer who owns a self-starter mindset with the confidence that they can change the world through their work. PADO strongly values team players and employees who are always respectful with a “colleague- and customer-first” mentality. While PADO will provide all on-the-job training as necessary, PADO expects all candidates to be capable of independently solving challenging technical tasks by the end of their first year.
