AI & Machine Learning (2)

Salary Range: 180000 to 255000 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)

The Company

Gridmatic Inc. is a high-growth startup with offices in the Bay Area and Houston that is accelerating the clean energy transition by applying our expertise in data, machine learning, and energy to power markets. We are the rare startup that has multiple years of profitability without raising venture capital. At Gridmatic, we foster a collaborative and inclusive culture where learning and growth are constant. We move quickly, solve problems with integrity, and balance environmental responsibility with data-driven excellence.

The Role

We are looking for an AI Research Scientist to expand the horizons of our technology as we work to accelerate the decarbonization of the electricity system. This role involves applied research, and hence the ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of forecasting techniques, and will develop the knowledge and understanding necessary to apply them to energy markets. They will investigate new technologies to better solve problems we already model, as well as designing solutions to problems we don’t yet solve. In addition, they will work to generalize these solutions so they can be applied more broadly, including on academic datasets for the purpose of sharing with the academic community via publication. A successful candidate will embrace constant learning of both engineering and mathematical concepts, as well as economics and electricity market related topics.

What you might work on

Design and implement state of the art deep generative models to capture distributions of quantities in the energy markets
Develop understanding of mathematics and mechanisms of energy markets in order to be able to discover and adapt appropriate methods to solve specific problems
Design, perform, and analyze experiments for new ML techniques, as well as consult on those tasks for others on the ML team
Keep abreast of latest advances in ML research in order to consider if any new methods are especially promising for problems in the electricity market space
Generalize and unify problem frameworks across electricity markets to utilize the same solutions across markets
Author research papers in the fields of generative modeling / forecasting / decision making under uncertainty

You might be a good fit if you:

PhD in ML, statistics, or a related quantitative modeling field
A strong publication record: NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML; and/or papers on forecasting and generative/probabilistic models in CV/NLP/Speech venues.
Proven experience researching and implementing deep learning models
Enthusiasm for learning
Understanding of data structures, data modeling and software architecture
Deep knowledge of math, probability, statistics and algorithms
Fluency in Python and machine learning frameworks (like Keras or PyTorch) and libraries (like scikit-learn, numpy, and pandas).
Excellent skills in communication and teamwork
Outstanding analytical and problem-solving skills

FAQ

What’s your policy on remote work?

We value the ability to work and collaborate in-person in our early stage as a startup, so Gridmatic has a hybrid policy of "50% in-office”. Most of the company works in our Cupertino office 2 or 3 days a week.

How does the interview process work?

We start with 1-2 initial conversations about the role, your past experience, and Gridmatic as a company. We then have a skills assessment which involves a take-home project; if that goes well, you’d come onsite to Cupertino to talk to the team.
