How to Apply for Machine Learning Engineer
at Kaluza
🏢 About Kaluza
Kaluza is unique as it focuses specifically on using intelligent software to help energy suppliers drive decarbonisation, directly tackling climate change through technology. Working here means contributing to a meaningful mission in the green energy sector while operating within a modern tech stack including Databricks, Kafka, and AWS microservices architecture.
About This Role
This Machine Learning Engineer role involves designing and implementing ML/GenAI solutions in Python for energy decarbonisation, then productionising these algorithms in AWS cloud environments using Databricks and Kafka. The role is impactful because you'll deploy solutions that directly help energy suppliers reduce carbon emissions while fostering a collaborative data science culture within the company.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve designing ML solutions in Python using Scikit-learn and Pandas, collaborating with teams to integrate models into microservices on AWS, and monitoring production algorithms using Databricks and Kafka pipelines. You'd also participate in knowledge-sharing sessions with the data science community and identify new opportunities where ML can advance decarbonisation goals.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Kaluza Is Looking For
- Has proven real-world experience deploying GenAI solutions into production systems, not just experimental work
- Demonstrates hands-on experience with the specific tech stack: Python (Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy), Databricks, Kafka, and AWS cloud environment
- Shows experience across the full ML lifecycle from data preprocessing to production deployment and monitoring
- Can provide examples of contributing to collaborative data science cultures and identifying high-impact ML opportunities
📝 Tips for Applying to Kaluza
Highlight specific experience with GenAI APIs and tools in production environments, not just experimentation
Demonstrate your understanding of microservices architecture and how ML models integrate within such systems
Show examples of automating ML workflows and implementing monitoring/alerting for data science products
Connect your experience to the energy/decarbonisation sector if possible, or explain how your skills transfer
Emphasize your experience with Databricks and Kafka specifically, as these are mentioned technologies
✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
['Your experience productionising ML algorithms and maintaining them in live environments', 'Specific examples of working with GenAI APIs and tools in practical applications', "How you've contributed to collaborative data science cultures in previous roles", 'Your understanding of how ML/AI can drive decarbonisation in the energy sector']
