Data Scientist / Senior Data Scientist (Grid Insights)

Data Scientist / Senior Data Scientist (Grid Insights) Data Scientist / Senior Data Scientist (Grid Insights) Gridsight is a rapidly growing Grid/CleanTech startup on a mission to accelerate global electrification and decarbonisation. We are building a vertical SaaS platform for electricity utilities, enabling them to modernise grid operations and unlock transformational flexibility capabilities such as dynamic operating envelopes and flexible interconnections. Having recently raised our Series A funding from Airtree Ventures, Energy Transition Ventures and Area VC, we are poised for rapid growth and are seeking talented individuals to join us on our mission. Purpose You will design and develop software and data science products that provide electricity utilities key insights into the state and operation of their grids. Beginning with detection and disaggregation of DER resources, your work will help to build up the picture of how grids can be managed more efficiently and dynamically, paving the way for the connection of more renewables, sooner. Key Accountabilities Design, build, and maintain software products and data science models capable of detecting, characterising or predicting key components, properties and events of electricity grids. Obtain data from disparate sources to inform and support modelling, by performing data discovery and/or developing automated retrieval pipelines as needed Ensure software and model capabilities, coverage and performance align with customer

requirements, directly engaging with customers from time to time in order to do so Collaborate with Software Engineers, Data Engineers, and other Product teams to understand data science

requirements and translate them into technical solutions Establish and follow data, scientific, MLOps and software engineering best practices including testing, validation, documentation, monitoring, version control and code reviews Contribute to data science strategy and architectural decisions Core

Requirements Experience: 3+ years in data science roles with demonstrable impact. PhD not required, but completion of a doctorate with a relevant focus on data science – especially Bayesian methods – may be counted towards this requirement. Software engineering fundamentals: proficiency in Python or similar language, architecture, system design, version control, testing practices, code review, CI/CD Numerical modelling: mathematical modelling, numerical methods, applied statistics ML modelling: experience developing, training, testing and validating machine learning models, as well as deploying them to production Differentiators Experience with Bayesian methods (parameter estimation, hierarchical modelling, sampling, etc) Experience with Monte Carlo methods Experience in energy, utilities, or IoT/sensor data domains Experience building data products for customer consumption Experience delivering software/data products to customers, and iterating based on their feedback. Experience discovering and integrating diverse data sources into complex modelling pipelines, both ML and otherwise Experience designing and implementing agentic workflows Experience optimising Python workflows, e.g. via parallel/distributed solutions or development of interfaces to optimised lower-level libraries Experience working in remote or distributed teams Data governance or compliance experience in regulated industries What We Offer Competitive salary and equity package Remote-first, with head office in Sydney A talented team of engineers, data scientists, and power systems specialists working on hard problems that matter A role with clear growth pathways into product and tooling, or deeper customer ownership Apply now Engineering Kensington, Australia Collingwood, Australia North Wollongong, Australia Canberra, Australia Share on: Apply now Terms of service Privacy Cookies Powered by Rippling
