Power Factors - We Fight Climate Change with code

The Role:

We are Power Factors, developer of the world’s leading cloud platform for renewable energy. We are now looking for a Data Scientist to complete our dynamic team, based in Sweden – Gothenburg. As a part of the Advanced Analytics team, your mission is to deliver innovative tools and services in support of renewable energy.
