About the job

At Google, data drives all of our decision-making. Our Data Scientists work across the organization, shaping Google's business and technical strategies by processing, analyzing, interpreting data sets, and developing new algorithmic and statistical approaches to improve system performance and efficiency.

Our team delivers globally optimal solutions, reducing infrastructure investments, operating costs, and electricity-based CO2 emissions of Google’s fleet by optimizing network, compute, storage, power, and carbon together.

In this role, you will leverage energy domain knowledge and versatile analytic skills to develop solutions for efficient, scalable, and carbon-aware management of Google-scale energy assets, with a primary focus on sustainable computing and AI. You will have an extensive optimization and statistics background, coding experience, and working knowledge of energy market data.

You will be analyzing data, and also collaborate with Google’s Energy and Policy Strategists, Engineers, and Product Managers, adjusting compute, AI, and energy management systems based on findings. You are expected to apply your deep understanding of systems analysis and control, energy market dynamics, optimization, statistical knowledge, and coding to develop methods solving issues related to carbon-aware computing, optimal energy asset sizing, market participation, forecasting, and scalable control. You will work with different stakeholders, driving innovation of our computing and energy systems while improving efficiency and global environmental impact. You will also think critically and strategically about Google’s fleet-wide energy assets, cloud technology, business operations, and their environmental impact.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $166,000-$244,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
