Pitch us a Role

Pravāh • San Francisco, CA

3d

About The Position

Pravāh is building foundational intelligence for the electric grid. We are a team of researchers and engineers who met at Stanford. We use machine learning to help electric utilities make real-time decisions on grid planning and operations to reduce blackout risks and reduce volatility caused by extreme events. We are backed by Khosla Ventures, Pear VC, and Conviction.

The Role:
We do not have a predefined job description for this posting, and that is intentional. If you have come across what we are building and thought "I know exactly how I could contribute, but I do not see a role for it," this is for you. We are open to exceptional people across machine learning, software engineering, power systems, weather, business development, operations, and domains we have not even thought of yet. We are a small team solving genuinely hard problems at the frontier of AI and physical infrastructure. The right person for this role will come in with a point of view: a clear sense of what they are great at, where they see a gap at Pravāh, and how they would fill it. We will figure out the rest together.

Requirements

• High agency and a bias for action. You build, fix, and ship. You do not wait for perfect conditions or a detailed playbook.
• Full ownership from Day 1. You thrive in ambiguity, reason from first principles, and take problems end-to-end.
• High standards. We are building the core decision engine for the modern grid, not optimising for a local maximum. We want people who think the same way.
• Easy to work with. We hugely value people who are relaxed and friendly while also being intense and absolute hustlers.
• Strategic thinking. How do we accomplish 10x what we are doing today? We want people who hold the long-term roadmap and the short-term execution in their heads at the same time.

Responsibilities

• Define a new modeling direction in GNNs, RL, or computer vision
• Bridge grid physics and our AI stack
• Understand utility operations and own technical deployments end-to-end
• Own our product deployment
• Push the frontier of AI-weather prediction for grid applications
• Build our commercial motion

Benefits

• The chance to work on hard, open-ended problems at the intersection of AI and physical infrastructure.
• Ability to shape technical direction at a company that is early enough for your ideas to genuinely change the trajectory.
• Close collaboration with a deeply technical and motivated founding team.
