Machine Learning Engineer
What we are looking for
Our power sector is in the middle of a major transformation. Its increasingly renewable resource mix and demand-side changes require algorithmic management far beyond what was historically required. Because of this, scalable model development and deployment is at the heart of what EQ does. We are looking for experienced ML engineers who are passionate about helping to deliver this scientific platform – to stay at the forefront of AI/ML technology and operationalize those solutions at enterprise scale.
What you will do
You will be a member of EQ’s Science Platform team. Our Science Platform enables our internal data scientists, as well as external customers, to develop, experiment with, deploy, and monitor forecasting and optimization models at scale. We sit between our data and infra engineers and our scientists - developing frameworks for model development that are both robust and efficient to iterate within. We help bring the algorithmic capabilities of our scientists to a broad range of customer energy applications.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop and maintain scalable ML pipelines, used to support forecasting and optimization models
Design frameworks that support model experimentation, hyperparameter tuning, training, and deployment
Collaborate closely with data scientists to understand new model requirements and together implement solutions that are robust, validated, and scalable
Integrate with data and compute infrastructure to optimize resource utilization and performance
Implement automated testing and monitoring for ML models in production
Partner with our Product and Customer Delivery teams to enable external customers to perform similar tasks to our internal scientists, with minimal code divergence and following security best practices
Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in ML engineering and integrate best practices into the platform
The minimum qualifications you’ll need
A commitment to clean energy and combating climate change
Proficiency in Python software development
Familiarity with automated build, deployment, and orchestration tools such as CI/CD, Pants, Docker, Metaflow, and Kubernetes
Strong understanding of data pipelines, ETL, and data infrastructure
Experience with observability tooling like Grafana, Honeycomb, and Prometheus
Experience with common machine learning algorithms and libraries (xgboost, sklearn, pytorch, pandas, polars, pandera)
Prior experience in operationalizing machine learning workflows
Agility in working with cross-functional teams and adapting to new work methodologies
Familiarity with agile practices, or a willingness to learn
Strong communication skills for collaborating within a remote-first team that works internationally across timezones
Nice-to-have additional skills
An advanced degree in computer science or machine learning
Experience in time series forecasting
Experience building tools that support data scientists
Experience with Databricks, Spark, and dbt
Background in the energy and power systems sector
