Data Scientist – Energy & Production ML Climate Tech Startup | London, UK (Hybrid)
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.
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:
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.
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.
£60–120k salary + 50–60% equity
Hybrid: 3 days/week in London office
Enhanced parental leave, cycle‑to‑work scheme, bi‑annual team retreats, meaningful work on climate tech
Have you shipped a product? And what was the commercial impact?
If you've built and shipped something, Id like to hear from you.
