What are the responsibilities and job description for the Machine Learning Engineer position at Keeling Labs, Inc?
About Keeling Labs
Founded in 2022, Keeling Labs was established as a hub for the development and application of machine learning to tackle climate change. Our primary focus is on transitioning the grid to 100% clean energy, currently limited by battery storage capabilities.
Our Mission
We are redefining algorithms controlling battery storage to unlock untapped gigawatts of energy storage capacity, enabling the grid to rely more heavily on wind and solar power. Our initial ML model for energy trading has proven successful and serves as a testing ground for our battery optimization problem.
Our Achievements
- Achieved regulatory certification as a grid participant in California (CAISO) in fall of 2023
- Successfully deployed our model to trade energy in California in 2024
- Earned revenue through our machine learning model and expanded our presence in the grid
What We're Working On Now
We are now focused on two key areas: Scaling our ML-based energy trading to multiple grid markets Building a larger, more complex model to operate giant physical batteries in the grid
About This Role
We are seeking an ambitious and experienced machine learning engineer to join our team. As a member of our team, you will play a critical role in scaling our technology and impact in the grid.
Responsibilities
- Solve complex problems to bridge the gap between ML theory and real-world applications
- Optimize training & inference runtime, performance, and cost
- Develop profiling and monitoring tools to oversee production performance
Requirements
- 3 years experience applying ML to physical, real-world applications in a production environment
- Strong coding background (Python/PySpark/Terraform/JAX or other ML frameworks)
- Experience building training architectures on cloud / strong overall cloud background (AWS)
- MSc, or PhD in engineering, physics, or computer science (or equivalent industry experience)
What We Offer
We provide full health, dental, and vision insurance to all employees, along with unlimited PTO.
