Overview

Powertown is hiring an AI Engineer to build map-based intelligence for battery storage development. This role is for someone who can find signals in messy infrastructure data and turn it into a product advantage. The goal is simple: help Powertown see better sites across the US, faster.

What you'll do

Turn scattered infrastructure data into a living map of opportunity

Build systems that rank, enrich, and explain prospects

Extract signal from land, grid, utility, market, and spatial data

Use agents to compress research loops that usually take days

Create workflows that help the team notice what others miss

Make maps feel intelligent, not decorative

Preferred majors

Computer Science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Electrical Engineering, Energy Systems, Physics, GIS, or a similarly analytical field with strong technical ability.

Ideal candidate

You are part engineer, part detective, part strategist

You enjoy messy data because you know that is where the advantage is. You can look at a map and ask better questions than “what layer should we add?”

You are not building dashboards. You are building a machine for discovering opportunity

Preferred qualifications

Experience with geospatial systems, infrastructure datasets, utility data, energy markets, site selection, ranking systems, AI-assisted research, data extraction, or large messy public/commercial datasets

Evidence of unusual initiative through shipped projects, research, startup work, competitions, technical writing, or self-directed data products

Exceptional ability exemplified through personal projects
