Data Scientist – Energy & Production ML Climate Tech Startup | London, UK (Hybrid)
About the role
We're hiring a data scientist who ships. You'll own the full lifecycle of your work: from research and prototyping through to production deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
You'll build machine learning models that operate reliably at scale, controlling thousands of EV chargers, batteries, and heating systems. We use real-time market data and ML to shift energy consumption to times when it's cheaper and greener.
This is 50/50 data science and production engineering. You'll write clean Python code, deploy on cloud, and work in Docker. You won't live in notebooks. You will see your work used by real customers.
What we're looking for You've shipped a product or feature that customers actually used. You understand the commercial impact of your work, not just the technical metrics.
You're comfortable with:
* Building models from research through to production
* Python and cloud infrastructure
* Time-series data and forecasting
* Taking ownership end-to-end
* Working in small, flat teams where everyone has a voice
Energy background is not required. Shipping ability is.
Seniority: 1–2 years onwards. We've hired at all levels. The sweet spot is around 5 years, but it depends on what you've actually built.
About the company 30-person team, backed by top-tier VCs. Deliberately flat structure. They move fast, give feedback within 24 hours, and people respond well to the mission: building software infrastructure for decarbonised energy systems.
