Let’s make Power Plants Obsolete.The current, centralized electricity system is not sustainable. Between the climate crisis, state-wide blackouts, aging infrastructure, and rising costs, the system needs a huge overhaul. The demand for electricity is high – and getting higher – and big power plants aren't meeting our needs. We say it's time to disrupt and decentralize.At , we're energy nerds that develop software for the real estate sector. Our tech turns commercial buildings and industrial facilities into hubs in a new, decentralized electricity system. This means cleaner, more reliable, and more affordable electricity. We’re powering the clean energy revolution.Peak Power has developed a comprehensive software platform that alleviates strain on the electricity grid and drives value to owners of clean energy assets, buildings, and electric vehicles (EVs) through electricity markets.The OpportunityPeakPower Inc is looking for a senior level Geospatial Data Scientist with analytic and scripting experience to support one of the most innovative, exciting, and growing renewable industry that is rooted in data rich projects in the power industry.Are you a technical geographer who loves to work with data, find patterns in it, and then turn it into actionable intelligence?
