Pravāh is hiring a Pitch us a Role

Responsibilities

  • Work on problems at the intersection of AI and physical infrastructure
  • Propose and define a new modeling direction in GNNs, RL, or computer vision
  • Bridge grid physics and AI stack as a power systems engineer
  • Own technical deployments end-to-end as a forward deployed engineer
  • Own product deployment as a founding engineer
  • Push the frontier of AI-weather prediction for grid applications as a weather scientist
  • Build commercial motion as a GTM or BD specialist

Requirements

  • High agency and a bias for action: you build, fix, and ship without waiting for perfect conditions or a detailed playbook
  • Full ownership from Day 1: thrive in ambiguity, reason from first principles, and take problems end-to-end
  • High standards: focused on building the core decision engine for the modern grid, not optimizing for a local maximum
  • Strategic thinking: hold both the long-term roadmap and short-term execution in mind simultaneously

Nice to Have

  • Background or expertise in machine learning, software engineering, power systems, weather, business development, operations, or related domains
  • Experience in AI research or application in physical infrastructure
  • Understanding of utility operations or the electric grid
  • Ability to shape technical direction in an early-stage company

Benefits

  • Chance to work on hard, open-ended problems at the intersection of AI and physical infrastructure
  • Ability to shape technical direction at an early-stage company
  • Close collaboration with a deeply technical and motivated founding team

About Pravāh

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. To know more about who we are, what we are building, and why we are excited read this Notion! https://pravah.notion.site/

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.

What You Might Work On

This depends entirely on you and what you bring. Past examples of roles candidates have proposed, or that we could imagine: - A machine learning researcher who wants to define a new modeling direction in GNNs, RL, or computer vision - A power systems engineer who wants to bridge grid physics and our AI stack - A forward deployed engineer who understands utility operations and wants to own technical deployments end-to-end - A founding engineer who wants to own our product deployment - A weather scientist who sees an opportunity to push the frontier of AI-weather prediction for grid applications - A GTM or BD specialist who knows the utility landscape and wants to build our commercial motion

What we always look for

  • 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. Our lives are crazy and only getting crazier, in the best way possible.
  • 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.

What You Will Gain

  • 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.

About company
Pravāh

We are an AI lab building and training the foundational models to transform the electric grid. The world is changing, but the grid is not. Forecasting is getting harder due to extreme weather, electric vehicles, and rooftop solar, making demand and generation harder to predict.

Utilities lack visibility into feeder and transformer-level conditions due to outdated asset records, creating operational blind spots. Grid modeling is unreliable because utilities often operate with partial and noisy data, leading to risky decisions.

We use machine learning to give utilities a real-time understanding of how the grid behaves under stress. Our technology includes deep learning-based forecasting, graph neural networks for grid modeling, computer vision to map infrastructure, and probabilistic simulations using reinforcement learning to test thousands of possible futures.

Our solutions are deployed with utilities across India, Germany, and the United States to forecast demand, model grid constraints, and reduce operational risk in live systems.
