Today's renewable energy development process can't move fast enough to meet global climate goals. Paces exists to change that. We're building the development engine for power projects and renewable infrastructure: software and services that accelerate the path from siting to shovel-ready. That's why everyone on this team is here.
To do this, we've assembled a rare combination: world-class software engineers from Meta AI, DeepMind, AWS, NASA, and Tesla alongside veterans who've actually built power projects at TotalEnergies, Nexamp, Con Edison, and GE.
Our founders, James McWalter and Charles Bai, have built multiple data-intensive software companies. James was employee #1 at a Google-acquired AI startup, Charles led AI efficiency and sustainability at Meta. Now they're pointing that expertise at the biggest problem of our generation.
Meet The Paces Team

Join a team of highly ambitious builders
We like to say that Paces is where to come if you want to do the most impactful, meaningful work of your career. We've got a huge mission in front of us but we also have a lot of fun. Day to day? Offsites to think, connect, and sing (we love karaoke). Unconferences where team members share anything they're passionate about, from pulling the best espresso to the history of Capoeira. Lunch and learns to geek out (even more than usual) on the latest in tech and AI. And dogs roaming our Brooklyn office (yes, we've got a dog calendar).
