We’re looking for collaborative, talented, passionate and resourceful folks to join our team and help us lay the foundation for our important mission and ambitious plan. What we are looking for Our power sector is in the middle of a major transformation. Its increasingly renewable resource mix and demand-side changes require algorithmic management far beyond what was historically required. Because of this, scalable model development and deployment is at the heart of what EQ does. We are looking for Staff / Sr Staff Software Engineers who are passionate about helping to deliver this scientific platform – to stay at the forefront of AI/ML technology and operationalize those solutions at enterprise scale. What you will do You will be a member of EQ’s Science Platform team. Our Science Platform enables our internal data scientists, as well as external customers, to develop, experiment with, deploy, and monitor forecasting and optimization models at scale. We sit between our data and infra engineers and our scientists - developing frameworks for model development that are both robust and efficient to iterate within. We help bring the algorithmic capabilities of our scientists to a broad range of customer energy applications. Key Responsibilities: Abstract away the complexities behind the deployment and orchestration of a large number of forecasting workflows, enabling a fast model development lifecycle for our Science team Integrate with data and compute infrastructure to optimize resource utilization and performance Implement automated testing and monitoring for ML models in production Maintain and iterate on our model registry and experiment tracking Co-design frameworks that support model experimentation, hyperparameter tuning, training, and deployment Partner with our Data Services team to incrementally improve our feature store and tie it to the EQ ontology Collaborate closely with data scientists to understand new model requirements and together implement solutions that are robust, validated, and scalable The minimum qualifications you’ll need A commitment to clean energy and combating climate change Proficiency and 5+ years experience in Python software development Familiarity with automated build, deployment, and orchestration tools such as CI/CD, Pants, Docker, Metaflow, Argo, and Kubernetes Strong understanding of data pipelines, ETL, and data infrastructure Experience with observability tooling like Grafana, Honeycomb, and Prometheus Experience with common machine learning algorithms and libraries (xgboost, sklearn, pytorch, pandas, polars, pandera) Prior experience in operationalizing machine learning workflows Agility in working with cross-functional teams and adapting to new work methodologies Familiarity with agile practices, or a willingness to learn Strong communication skills for collaborating within a remote-first team that works internationally across timezones Nice-to-have additional skills An advanced degree in computer science or machine learning Experience in time series forecasting Experience building tools that support data scientists Experience with Databricks and Spark or Dagster Background in the energy and power systems sector Not sure this is the right role for you? We are a high growth company with accelerating hiring needs so there’s a great chance we’ll be able to create a custom role for you, now or in the future.
