What will I be doing?

As an AI Engineer at Kaluza, you'll be at the heart of our mission to accelerate the global clean energy transition — building the intelligent systems that make smarter, faster, and greener energy decisions possible at scale. Working within a collaborative and forward-thinking engineering team, you'll design and deploy AI-powered solutions that directly shape the future of how energy is produced, distributed, and consumed.

• Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models and AI-driven pipelines that power real-time energy optimisation across our platform.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, data scientists, and software engineers to translate complex business problems into scalable AI solutions.
• Evaluate and integrate large language models (LLMs) and generative AI capabilities into Kaluza's product suite, driving measurable impact for our energy partners.
• Build robust, production-ready ML infrastructure — including model serving, monitoring, and retraining pipelines — that operates reliably at global scale.
• Champion best practices in MLOps, ensuring models remain accurate, explainable, and aligned with evolving data landscapes.
• Contribute to the technical direction of AI at Kaluza by staying ahead of emerging research and bringing new ideas and approaches to the team.
• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to communicate model performance, limitations, and opportunities in a clear, human-centred way.

About You 

Ideally you’ll have/be

• Proven experience as an AI or Machine Learning Engineer, with a strong track record of delivering production-grade models and AI systems.
• Proficiency in Python and hands-on experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or scikit-learn.
• Solid understanding of MLOps principles, including model deployment, versioning, monitoring, and CI/CD for ML workflows.
• Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerisation tools such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• A collaborative, product-minded approach — comfortable working in cross-functional agile teams and translating technical work into clear business value.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and deliver outcomes in a fast-moving environment.

What will set you apart 

• Experience working with LLMs, generative AI, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems in a production setting.
• Background in the energy, utilities, or climate tech sector — or a genuine passion for the clean energy transition.
• Familiarity with real-time data streaming technologies such as Kafka or Flink, particularly in the context of time-series forecasting or demand prediction.
