Remote Data Scientist Energy information

What is the difference between Remote Data Scientist Energy vs Remote Data Scientist Oil & Gas?

AspectRemote Data Scientist EnergyRemote Data Scientist Oil & Gas
Required CredentialsBachelor's/Master's in Data Science, Statistics, or related fields; certifications like AWS, Python, RBachelor's/Master's in Data Science, Petroleum Engineering, or related; similar certifications
Work EnvironmentEnergy companies, renewable energy firms, utilities; remote options commonOil & gas corporations, exploration firms; remote work increasingly available
Industry UsageAnalyzing energy consumption, renewable projects, grid optimizationExploration data, drilling optimization, production forecasting

Remote Data Scientist Energy and Remote Data Scientist Oil & Gas roles share similar qualifications and work environments, focusing on energy data analysis. The main difference lies in industry focus: renewable and energy efficiency projects versus traditional oil and gas exploration and production. Both roles require strong data skills and often offer remote work options, but their specific applications and datasets differ based on industry needs.

Job description

Role & Team

We are excited to add a Staff Data Scientist, Wildfire to our team. This individual will lead the scientific foundation of our Fuel Detection Model, the core engine that translates satellite and environmental data into an understanding of vegetation structure, fuel loads, and wildfire risk.
Working alongside ML engineers, and a product team, you'll define accuracy for our models, design the research and validation methods that prove it, and ensure our modeling choices are grounded in fire science and remote sensing fundamentals. This is a great opportunity for someone who is energized by open scientific questions with direct real-world stakes, and who wants their research to shape how utilities prevent catastrophic wildfires.

Time Zone Requirement: North America (NST, AST, EST, CST, MST, PST)

What You'll Do
  • Lead research into how vegetation structure, fuel conditions, and wildfire risk can be estimated from satellite, LiDAR, and environmental data across diverse geographies
  • Design rigorous validation and evaluation methodologies, including ground-truth strategies, uncertainty quantification, and error analysis tied to real-world impact
  • Prototype and refine ML modeling approaches, then partner with ML engineers to translate them into production systems
  • Integrate established fire science, such as fuel models and fire behavior frameworks, with data-driven methods
  • Define scientific standards for experimentation, reproducibility, and model interpretability across the modeling organization
  • Communicate research findings clearly to engineers, product teams, customers, and the broader wildfire science community
  • Mentor ML engineers on scientific methodology and domain reasoning
Skills & Experience
  • 8+ years of applied research or data science experience in wildfire science, fire ecology, forestry, remote sensing, atmospheric science, or a related quantitative field
  • Deep expertise in remote sensing and geospatial analysis, including working with satellite imagery and large-scale environmental datasets
  • Strong statistical modeling and machine learning skills in Python, with tools like GeoPandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch, or XGBoost
  • Track record of designing validation studies and evaluation frameworks for environmental or geospatial models
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to make complex scientific work legible across technical and non-technical audience
Nice To Have
  • Familiarity with fire behavior or fuels modeling frameworks (e.g., Rothermel-based models, LANDFIRE fuel classifications)
  • Experience integrating physics-based models with ML, or with active learning and uncertainty quantification
  • Peer-reviewed publications in wildfire science, remote sensing, or environmental modeling
  • Familiarity with GCP, Vertex AI, or similar cloud-based platforms
  • Experience in remote-first or globally distributed team

Note: We believe that all people are capable of great things. We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the requirements that are listed within this job description.

What We Offer
  • Competitive, location-specific compensation and benefits 
  • Flexible, autonomous and collaborative working environment rooted in trust - we build our work days around our lives, not the other way around
  • Home office stipend, co-working and ongoing education budgets 
  • A company culture that genuinely embodies each of our core values
  • To be part of truly mission-driven work that reduces wildfires, protects earth's natural resources and helps solve our climate crisis
