Senior Staff Machine Learning Engineer - Pricing

Overview

We are rebuilding the energy transaction, making it transparent and fair. Our goal is to put power back where it belongs, in the hands of customers and to take on one of the most critical problems of our century, access to low cost electricity.

Job Description

tem exists to fix a broken global energy market that’s long favoured legacy operators, intermediaries, and opaque pricing. Today’s electricity system was not designed for rapid decarbonisation, AI-driven efficiency or fair access for the actual users - businesses and generators. We’ve built the first AI native transaction infrastructure to reinvent how electricity is bought, sold and priced. Our technology is designed to cut out the inefficient fees, automate complex market flows, and bring transparency and fairness to energy transactions at scale.

Responsibilities

  • - Own the technical direction for pricing ML: Define what to build and how within the pricing engine, setting the strategy and roadmap for pricing machine learning as a core piece of tem's IP.
  • - Build ML systems for price optimisation: Design and implement models that dynamically set prices, balancing the trade-off between signing probability, portfolio balance and margin maximisation.
  • - Solve imbalance problems: Develop probabilistic models to optimise risk management and short-term balancing decisions in a highly dynamic environment.
  • - Bridge modelling and production: Own the modelling and data layer while working closely with software engineers and MLOps to ensure models are architected for production, contributing to system design decisions that affect performance and reliability.
  • - Communicate pricing decisions clearly: Articulate model behaviour, assumptions, and trade-offs to other technical stakeholders so that pricing decisions are understood across the teams that depend on them.

Required Skills

  • - Deep experience building ML systems for pricing, revenue optimisation, or decision-making under uncertainty, with a track record of models that went from concept to production and delivered measurable commercial impact.
  • - Strong foundation in stochastic optimisation and probabilistic modelling, with the judgement to formulate ambiguous business problems as the right mathematical approach rather than reaching for familiar tools.
  • - Proven first-principles reasoning: you choose between stochastic programming, classical ML, reinforcement learning, or a simple heuristic based on the problem, not the technique you know best.
  • - The engineering craft to match your modelling depth: production-grade Python, a high bar for code quality and system design, and the ability to work alongside software engineers as a technical peer across the full ML lifecycle.
  • - Senior technical leadership in ML: a track record of setting direction for a significant technical area, influencing cross-functional teams, and translating complex model decisions into clear terms for commercial, product, and engineering stakeholders so they are understood and acted on.

About the company

tem is reinventing how the world transacts energy to make low-cost, transparent electricity universally accessible. Built to fix a broken wholesale system stacked with middlemen and hidden markups, tem uses AI to power a new transactions infrastructure that lets businesses buy electricity directly from renewable generators. Its flagship product, RED™, delivers fully auditable, transparent pricing—giving customers real ownership over where their energy comes from while ensuring fair compensation for generators. Since launching in 2021, tem has helped UK businesses cut energy costs by up to 30%, saved over £25 million across its network, and is backed by leading investors including Atomico and Albion as it builds a more direct, decentralised, and trusted energy market.
