Koala
Are you the kind of researcher who is never fully satisfied by a paper — who wants the model, the algorithm and the market mechanism to end up inside a product that real households, communities and businesses actually use? Do you have the scientific depth, the leadership instinct and the "cazzimma" to build a research function from the ground up and make it deliver?
Koala is looking for a Head of R&D; to lead the scientific core of our platform. At Koala we are digitalizing, democratizing and decentralizing the energy market: we build the digital services that let prosumers, energy communities, professionals and public administrations enter a market that today is designed to keep them out.
? Your Responsibilities
Own Koala's R&D; roadmap end to end: define the research agenda across our whole perimeter — energy sharing and collective self-consumption, digitalization of energy services, flexibility aggregation, decentralized energy trading, and participative ownership models for distributed assets.
Lead the core research lines:
modelling of resources; ML/DL forecasting; algorithmic aggregation, matching and price formation; market and mechanism design for decentralized exchange.
Translate research into product: work side by side with product and engineering so that models, algorithms and market mechanisms are specified, validated, integrated and monitored in production — not left in a notebook. Define what "good" looks like in metrics, and hold the bar.
Build and lead the team: recruit, mentor and manage researchers and quantitative profiles; set standards for experimental design, reproducibility, code quality and peer review; grow a small group that punches well above its size.
Run our academic programme: coordinate the inter-university research programme we are building, structured in work packages assigned to different universities and research partners — scope, deliverables, milestones, interfaces between work packages, and the governance that keeps them aligned.
