Senior Machine Learning & Optimization Engineer

Senior Machine Learning & Optimization Engineer

Join to apply for the Senior Machine Learning & Optimization Engineer role at EnopAI.

Your mission

• Deliver forecasting and optimization that reduce energy costs and emissions for real systems.
• Own problems end‑to‑end: from hypothesis to model to production and measurable impact.
• Improve our time‑series forecasting models. Design and run experiments to improve predictions (demand, PV, prices, weather‑derived features). Use proper backtests, leakage controls, and business KPIs.
• Optimization modeling. Extend our MILP models to new features like EV charging, market trading (day‑ahead / intraday), tariffs, and network limits. Encode constraints and objectives that reflect physics and economics.
• Simulation & evaluation. Build scenario simulations to compare strategies and assess reliability.
• Productization. Ship models behind robust APIs and scheduled jobs with tests, CI, and observability.
• Continuous growth. Expand your expertise in data science, optimization, and software engineering through mentorship, hands‑on collaboration, and exposure to challenging real‑world problems in energy and technology.

Your profile

• 5+ years total experience in applied Machine Learning, Data Science, Mathematical Optimization and/or Operations Research.
• Experience with exploratory data analytics and a strong intuition for designing experiments and deriving insights from data – especially working with time series datasets.
• Skilled at identifying issues and iteratively enhancing the performance of ML and optimization models in real world.
• Machine Learning skills (e.g. PyTorch/Sklearn/Tensorflow).
• Optimization experience (e.g. Pyomo, MILP solvers like Gurobi/HiGHS).
• Production‑grade Python (clean, testable, reviewable code) and software engineering tools (Github, Pull Requests). MLOps experience is a plus.
• Bonus: Energy domain knowledge like BESS, PV, EV charging, demand charges, market participation (EPEX/ENTSO‑E context), network/transformer limits.
• Great at communicating in a concise and intuitive way to the rest of the team.
• Thrives in a fast‑moving environment and comfortable switching between modeling, simulation, and engineering as priorities shift. Pragmatic, driven and impact‑oriented.

Why us?

• The excitement of working in a driven start‑up team, where your contribution truly matters.
• A secure position in an innovative company with long‑term prospects.
• Competitive salary with additional benefits such as EGYM Wellpass.
• Great team culture & events: Summer parties, Christmas celebrations, and regular team gatherings.
• Prime location: Office right next to Theresienwiese in Munich (home office days possible).
• Creative freedom: The opportunity to contribute your ideas and actively shape the future of the company and the field of energy optimization.
• Keep growing by solving hard, real‑world energy problems alongside senior teammates, through hands‑on experimentation and production‑scale systems.
