Data Scientist
About the Role
We’re not just looking for a model builder—we’re looking for a data scientist who can turn raw energy data into measurable impact. At Cenergistic, you’ll be at the forefront of a mission-driven effort to reduce utility waste across thousands of buildings in K-12 schools, universities, hospitals, and municipalities.
You’ll dive into a vast sea of energy, building, weather, and behavioral data to discover patterns, optimize consumption, and build models that deliver insight—not just dashboards. This is a chance to craft our next generation of in-house models, work side-by-side with LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude to automate analysis and embed intelligence directly into our product workflows.
This isn’t an R&D sandbox. Your models will be in production and used to change behavior.
What You’ll Do:
Own the Model Lifecycle
-
Build, validate, and deploy models for cost anomaly detection, savings prediction, baseline normalization, and building performance classification
-
Develop methods to provide “apples-to-apples” comparisons of energy use, even across buildings with different meters, systems, and conditions
-
Engineer proprietary scoring models to identify which buildings and campuses need attention first—be the brain behind our prioritization engine
Turn Data into Insight (Fast)
-
Explore and analyze structured and unstructured datasets across weather, occupancy, IoT, utility bills, and interval data
-
Work closely with domain experts to understand how building systems behave and convert that knowledge into real-time or scheduled analytics
-
Build simulations and “what-if” models that allow our users to test strategies before they’re deployed
Power Our Work with LLMs
-
Engineer tools and workflows that feed context-rich summaries to LLMs (like Claude and ChatGPT) to assist energy specialists, engineers, and clients
-
Help create a feedback loop between structured models and generative reasoning—so both get smarter over time
Operationalize Your Intelligence
-
Work side-by-side with our Data Engineers and Software Developers to embed insights directly into Measure, GreenX, and the Optimize Platform
-
Automate reports, alerts, and visualizations that surface the “why” behind energy trends—not just the “what”
What We’re Looking For
-
3+ years’ experience building and deploying models in a production environment
-
Deep fluency in Python, including key libraries like pandas, scikit-learn, statsmodels, and prophet
-
Strong understanding of statistical modeling, time series analysis, forecasting, and causal inference
-
Solid SQL skills and experience working with large-scale relational datasets
-
Experience working with energy or sensor data—or strong curiosity to learn quickly
-
Proven ability to communicate insights clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
Desired Experience
-
Familiarity with LLMs and experience engineering prompts or retrieval systems for domain-specific analysis
-
Experience integrating with building automation systems (BAS), IoT sensor streams, or SCADA-like infrastructure
-
Knowledge of energy markets, M&V protocols (e.g. IPMVP), and utility billing structures
-
Experience with tools like Power BI, Tableau, or plotly/dash for interactive insight delivery
-
Exposure to cloud-based AI/ML workflows using AWS, Azure, or GCP
