Other locations: Vadodara, Jaipur, and Visakhapatnam. We are hiring for 3 positions.\nAbout Pravah\nPravah is building the world's first foundation model of the electric grid. The world's most important physical industry is under unprecedented stress. We are using ML to build the 22nd-century grid.\nWe work directly with state-owned distribution and transmission electricity utilities to transform their decades of fragmented operational data into deployable, decision-grade intelligence. Our customers include some of the largest DISCOMs in the country, and our work spans demand forecasting (including renewable generation forecasting), weather forecasting, network mapping, and load flow analysis.\nAbout the Role\nOur product will work only if it is being adopted by the customer and if it solving their biggest problems. You will spend weeks at a time embedded at customer sites, watching senior people use the platform in real time, capturing every point of friction, and translating it into precise, prioritised feedback for our engineers. You will sit in on demos to customer leadership, run 1:1 sessions with relevant stakeholders, and build the trust to ensure our engagement is successful. \nThis is a role for someone who can hold a technical conversation about power flow with an engineer (if you do not have this knowledge, it's fine. We would want you to learn quickly) and have the ability to present to a senior decision-maker like an IAS officer.\nWhat You Will Do\nDeploy on site with customer utilities for extended stretches. You will work out of their offices.\n\nSit alongside Directors, CGMs, and engineering teams as they use the platform. Watch where they hesitate and record it all.\n\nProduce structured client visit notes that separate UI/UX issues, broken functionality, and flawed analytical logic, with clear priority and enough specificity for a software engineer.\n\nOwn the feedback loop with engineering. Push back when the field tells us something the roadmap doesn't reflect, and close the loop with the customer when a new feature ships.\n\nMap the customer organisation: who signs, who influences, who resents whom, who is up for transfer, which consultants are already embedded, and where the real veto sits.\n\nPresent to senior leadership, including Chairmen, Directors, and IAS officers. Run demos, defend our methodology, and know when to concede a point and take it back to the team.\n\nChase down validation. Get customers to test our outputs against their own data, and turn that into third-party proof of value that protects the engagement through leadership changes.\n\nSurface new opportunities from the field: adjacent products, pilot openings, integration requirements with the customer's existing platforms.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n2-5 years at a top-tier consulting firm, a research or policy institution, a development finance or multilateral organisation, or a customer-facing role at a high-growth startup. Consulting backgrounds map unusually well here.\n\nExceptional written communication. Your feedback documents are the primary interface between the customer and our engineers, and vague notes cost us weeks.\n\nEnough technical curiosity to get into the substance. You do not need to be an engineer, but you need to understand what a metric means, why a customer distrusts it, and be able to explain the difference to both sides.\n\nA bias toward ownership.\n\nFluency with AI tooling as a force multiplier.\n\nNice to Have\nPrior exposure to the power, energy, or infrastructure sector, especially state utilities.\n\nWorking comfort with data.\n\nRegional language ability, particularly in states where we are deployed.\n\nWhat You Get\nDirect, visible impact on India's grid. The adoption you drive puts systems live with utilities serving millions of consumers.\n\nA front-row seat to how the country's power system actually runs.\n\nOpportunity to work with talented researchers from IIT, Stanford, etc. who have spent significant time working at the frontier of weather, power systems, and machine learning.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4066,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Smart Grid","Energy AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T07:26:40Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.383,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":68,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":40000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/pravah-associate","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/pravah-associate.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T14:03:06Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":21227,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":685462},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=685462"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpravah-associate"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpravah-associate"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpravah-associate"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/pravah-associate\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpravah-associate"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":722246}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"pravah.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":722246},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
