The Forecasting team is looking for an experienced Senior Data Scientist to develop and maintain AutoGrids measurement and verification (M&V) and forecasting platform. We have a platform that can support forecasting and M&V for about a million devices. You will work with the team of data engineers and software engineers to launch new forecasting and M&V services and to optimize existing ones. You should lead the data science efforts to gain insight and develop/improve the core algorithms for M&V and various types of time-series forecasts. You should also possess good programming skills to navigate our codebase and work with our distributed infrastructure; we expect our data scientists to write production code with some help from software engineers. We strongly prefer candidates who can work hybrid, coming into the Redwood City office a few times a week, and we are open to candidates who need to work fully remotely.
Responsibilities:
Most of our codebase is in Python, and various services run on Kubernetes clusters. We use MySQL and HBase as storage, most often, and Spark (specifically pyspark) is used to support large forecasting and M&V jobs. For monitoring, we often use Prometheus. We follow a 2-week Scrum process, and the code is released to clients every 2-3 months.
