How to Apply for Senior Data and AI Engineer

at Renewable Energy Systems

🏢 About Renewable Energy Systems

Renewable Energy Systems is a mission-driven company accelerating the global clean energy transition, with a bold target to add 22 GW of new capacity in the next five years. Working here means directly contributing to a sustainable future while leveraging cutting-edge data and AI technologies to optimize renewable energy operations.

About This Role

As a Senior Data and AI Engineer, you will architect and build the data infrastructure that powers AI-driven insights for renewable energy projects. This role is impactful because you'll enable real-time decision-making and predictive analytics that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and scale clean energy deployment globally.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve designing a new data pipeline in Azure Synapse to ingest real-time wind turbine telemetry, collaborating with data scientists to ensure AI models have governed access to curated datasets, and reviewing system observability dashboards to maintain reliability. You'll also participate in sprint planning and code reviews with a remote team focused on clean energy innovation.
