ML Engineer - Power

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain production-grade machine learning workflows and microservices for power market forecasting and electricity grid modeling.
• Design and optimize database schemas in PostgreSQL to handle high-throughput time-series data, event streams, and normalization routines.
• Establish automated model training, backtesting, evaluation, tuning, and feature/model versioning standards across deployments.
• Construct clean ingestion and transformation pipelines, ensuring high integrity, validation, and low-latency access across analytical models.
• Write modular, well-tested Python code, actively participating in peer code reviews, CI/CD automation, and Agile delivery processes.

Requirements

• Approximately two to five years of experience as a data-focused software engineer.
• Significant experience working with large production Python codebases, rather than working exclusively in notebooks.
• Deep understanding of electricity-grid fundamentals, including generation, transmission, and electricity markets.
• Experience in data engineering, including working with PostgreSQL or similar databases, database design, data normalisation, and managing time-series and event data.
• Practical experience in machine learning engineering, specifically including model and feature versioning.
• Confidence working with Git, code reviews, and Agile methodologies, supported by strong written and spoken English.

Preferred

• Familiarity with orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow, Kubeflow, or MLflow.
