Senior Data Scientist - Analytics

Department: Engineering

Location: Hybrid

Employment Type: FullTime

About David Energy

David Energy is creating a new kind of power company. We offer cheaper and cleaner energy than traditional Retail Electricity Providers (REPs) can, and we do so economically because we can tap into renewable supply (e.g. solar) and controllable capacity (e.g. batteries) anywhere it exists, including "behind" customers’ electricity meters. We’re a series A company aiming to run the grid on clean energy 24/7/365.

We’re rapidly scaling our "Beat the Utility" product which guarantees small commercial customers that their total electric spend will be less than their incumbent utility. We can make this guarantee because our technology and risk management unlock value that is not available to the utility. We're currently operating in NYC (NYISO Zone J) and scaling toward hundreds of new customer locations per month, with plans to expand to additional zones and ISOs across the Northeast.

We are looking for a senior data scientist to own analyses and data analytics around our growing network of energy assets in concert with real-time energy markets. By shifting the energy usage of our customers to align with the cheapest and cleanest wholesale energy available, we can offer dramatically lower rates with much cleaner energy. Making those decisions automatically at scale requires excellent data science.
