Our business

geo is creating a sustainable future where homes automatically and seamlessly manage their overall consumption and carbon footprint. In addition to providing management and optimisation systems and data analysis for solar, EVs, batteries and home heating, the company is a leading supplier of in-home displays to the UK Smart Metering programme.
geo has deployed more than 7.5 million devices to date, saving an estimated 25 terawatt hours of energy as a result.
We have a stunning, spacious office on the outskirts of Cambridge. With a flexible approach to working, we offer hybrid working as standard and remote working for those who would prefer to work primarily from home.

Job role

Data Science at geo is all about creating products that help homeowners understand their energy consumption, save energy, save money and cut their carbon footprint. We’re developing ways of helping the energy industry meet the challenge of cutting carbon. These challenges include making sure the electrification of transport and heating doesn’t overload the grid; and working out how to balance demand and supply to promote the usage of available renewables.
Our products range from algorithms that power our energy-retailer customers’ websites, apps and geo’s in home displays, through to sophisticated control systems that predict and manage energy storage, local energy generation (such as PV) and local loads. Underpinning this is our expertise in smart energy monitoring, heating control systems, prediction, mathematical modelling and optimisation. As well as building solutions that control and automate people’s homes, geo’s Data Scientists also work closely with our Product team to identify and understand new product opportunities.
You’ll always be kept busy and challenged. You’ll be working in a friendly, close team, who’ll give you support and the freedom to explore new ideas and innovate. We want you to use the skills you already have, and to develop new ones too. geo is working on many cutting-edge problems where your ideas and hard work are key parts to any solution. Your work at geo will provide you with a great sense of achievement.

• Has at least 3 years’ experience in a research or analytical role (which could be as a PhD student)
• Is articulate and capable of presenting ideas to wide range of audiences
• Is highly numerate with a solid understanding of probability, statistics and optimisation. Knowledge of Bayesian inference is preferred, but not essential
• Is experienced at analysing real world data using Python, Pandas, and Python visualisation libraries
• Is able to develop algorithms and apply machine learning techniques.
• Knowledge of Tensorflow and the Python libraries numpy & scikit-learn is preferred but not essential
