Help Map the Technology That Powers New England

Ever wondered how large organizations keep track of hundreds of applications, systems, integrations, and technologies?

As an Enterprise Architecture Documentation & Visibility Intern at ISO New England, you'll help create the blueprint of an organization that powers the electric grid for more than 14 million people. You'll work alongside experienced architects, gain exposure to enterprise-scale technology ecosystems, and help build the documentation, insights, and visibility that support smarter technology decisions across the organization.

If you're curious about how technology, business strategy, data, and architecture come together, this is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a field that's critical to every modern enterprise.

Who We Are

ISO New England is one of the most pivotal energy companies you’ve probably never heard of. Our job is to oversee the 24/7 operation of the power grid that covers the six-states of New England and to administer the region’s $10+ billion “stock exchange” for buying and selling of wholesale electricity. Our work ensures that over 14 million people can reliably turn their lights on and complete their jobs, take care of their families, and live in comfort with convenience.
