• Strong expertise in Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, scikit-learn, and ML tooling (MLflow, LangChain).
• Proficiency with SQL, cloud services (AWS), containers (Docker, Kubernetes), and distributed systems.
• Understanding of modern AI research (LLMs, diffusion models, transformers).
• Experience deploying ML models in production with CI/CD.
• Strong analytical skills, ability to balance speed and rigor in experimentation.
• A passion for sustainability and the clean-energy mission.
• Experienced with building agentic pipelines with the latest models from Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and more

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and employee stock options
• Hybrid/remote-first working model (India-based role, with global collaboration)
• Flexible leave policy
• Comprehensive medical insurance (self + family members)
• Annual performance cycle + quarterly recognition awards
• A supportive, diverse engineering culture grounded in empathy, teamwork, and innovation

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had a disability. Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp
