Data Scientist (Tapestry)

About the team:

Tapestry is X’s moonshot for the electric grid. We’re transforming how the world makes, moves and uses electricity, using AI to reshape energy on a global scale.

We’re looking for curious minds who want to be a part of this extraordinary moment in energy. You would be joining a multidisciplinary team from a wide variety of experiences and backgrounds—from AI and power systems experts to software engineers and energy entrepreneurs– working together to realize Tapestry’s mission to make the grid visible so that everyone, everywhere can access reliable, abundant, and clean energy. 

Tapestry is incubating at X, Alphabet’s Moonshot Factory—the birthplace of breakthrough technologies like Waymo and Google Brain. At Tapestry, you’ll have the chance to be part of a rapidly growing team that has the agility and impact of an early stage company with the resources and technical excellence of Alphabet. If developing multimodal AI solutions gets you up in the morning and load growth challenges keep you up at night, we'd love to meet you.
