Yottar is a pioneering startup dedicated to harnessing the power of machine learning to accelerate the transition to net-zero electricity. Our mission is to address the most strategic uses of machine learning to drive this critical transition.

Our Approach

We take a unique approach to tackling the challenges of grid congestion, which has emerged as the single biggest bottleneck to the development of zero-emission energy systems. Our platform will provide optimized recommendations for energy asset developers on where to site and how to design assets according to what is possible on the grid.

  • Build automated estimates of grid upgrade costs and timelines.
  • Develop systems that create automated curtailment forecasts.
  • Support the development of robust data pipelines.
  • Recruit, manage, and lead an elite team of data scientists.
Requirements
  • 4+ years of professional experience as a data scientist, with some experience in the energy sector (experience working on electricity networks is ideal but not required).
  • Start-up mindset: relentlessly resourceful, solutions-oriented, keen to move quickly, and willing to adapt to changing organizational needs.
  • Degree in computer science or a similar technical subject.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Exceptional organizational skills with attention to detail, a sense of urgency, and a drive to get stuff done.
What We Offer
  • 25 days of paid time off, plus UK bank holidays.
  • Paid maternity, paternity, adoption, or shared parental leave.
  • Personal learning budget of up to £500 a year, plus further role-specific training budget.
