AI Engineer

About Nira Energy

• Nira's mission is to help convert the US power grid to be 100% fossil-free.
• We are profitable!
• Nira is a software platform that helps renewable energy developers find the cheapest points on the grid to connect.
• We focus on estimating the cost to interconnect with the electrical grid (aka the Interconnection Process). Depending on where developers connect, they may be on the hook to pay millions of dollars to upgrade power lines, substations etc.

What You'll Do

As Nira’s first AI engineer, you’ll work closely with the CTO to explore how we can use AI in the niche domain of transmission planning. Your work will directly accelerate renewables getting built.
