Data Scientist (Remote)

Description

Sympower is an international cleantech scale-up with offices in 5 different countries and 23 different nationalities. We believe that climate change is the biggest challenge of our generation and, with our software solution, we accelerate the transition to a clean and sustainable energy system. Sympower is growing fast and has recently been recognised as one of the eleven scale-ups selected for the Techleap Rise programme, featuring tech scale-ups which are contributing to flatten the climate curve.

With our in-house software platform, we unlock the flexibility of electrical assets and processes: from steel smelting to solar panels, electric vehicles to paper production. When the grid is out of balance, we temporarily adjust the power of machines and processes through our advanced and automated demand response capabilities. Flexibility is a vital component of a fully renewable energy system and by providing non-intrusive software solutions, we allow our customers to enhance the value of their electrical assets. We empower traditional industries to become more sustainable and enable the shift from fossil fuels to renewables.

We are looking for a talented Data Scientist to join Sympower's engineering team.

Let's build the future of energy systems together!

Our platform

Our platform collects and stores large amounts of data of various types relevant to grid balancing. At Sympower we see data as the oil that keeps business processes running smoothly and efficiently.
