ML Engineer​/Data Scientist

3 weeks ago – be among the first 25 applicants.

Processing thousands of energy data points per second from diverse operational sources, handling massive volumes of energy data while running sophisticated classification and anomaly detection models in real‑time, maintaining comprehensive data lineage, and delivering insights through high‑performance platforms used by energy operators globally requires exceptional engineering and scientific expertise.

The Data Platform Team is responsible for all machine learning operations across our energy data ecosystem. We work with everything from raw sensor data from millions of energy assets to complex operational datasets, generating high‑value predictions such as equipment failure detection, energy demand forecasting, operational anomaly identification, predictive maintenance scheduling, and system optimization recommendations.

The team has built a comprehensive suite of statistical and machine learning models that enable us to provide the most accurate and actionable insights into energy operations. We take pride in applying cutting‑edge research to real‑world energy challenges in a robust, scalable, and maintainable way. The quality of our models is continuously validated by experienced in‑house energy analysts and traders and domain experts to ensure reliability of our predictions.

You’ll be instrumental in designing and building ML infrastructure and applications to propel the design, deployment, and monitoring of existing and new ML pipelines and models. Working with software engineers, data scientists, and energy analysts and traders, you’ll help bridge the gap between research experiments and production energy systems by ensuring 100% uptime and bulletproof fault‑tolerance of every component of our ML platform.
