At Google, data drives all of our decision-making. Data Scientists work all across the organization to help shape Google's business and technical strategies by processing, analyzing, interpreting huge data sets, as well as coming up with new algorithmic and statistical approaches that improve performance and efficiency of Google-wide systems.

As an energy analyst, you will collaborate with Google’s Climate Operations team, Energy and Policy Strategists, Engineers and Product Managers to adjust Google's energy systems and practices based on your findings. You will apply an understanding of energy systems and market dynamics, optimization and statistical knowledge, as well as the coding experience, to develop methods to solve and assess the cutting edge problems related to carbon and efficiency aware compute shifting, grid integration, energy asset forecasting and scalable control. You will work broadly with different energy stakeholders across the organization and drive innovation of our energy systems stack, while improving its efficiency and global environmental impact.

As an Energy Analytics Data Scientist, you will think critically and strategically about Google’s fleet-wide energy assets, cloud as a technology, business and its operation, while thinking about its impact on the environment as a whole.

• Lead projects with energy system, market analysis and carbon impact analysis, modeling and optimization, drawing from multiple problem solving methods and energy domain expertise to choose the right tool and right level of complexity appropriate for the business challenges.

• Engage broadly with the organization to identify, prioritize, frame, and structure complex and ambiguous challenges arising in the energy domain, where advanced analytics projects or tools can have the high impact.

• Identify and communicate the challenges and opportunities that the group should be working on.

• Articulate business questions and use mathematical techniques to arrive at an answer using data. Translate analysis results into business recommendations.

• Help define the problem solving direction and influence the direction of the associated engineering and infrastructure work.
