About Tyba

Tyba is a modeling platform for energy companies developing, financing, and operating renewable energy. Energy companies rely on technical models daily to make crucial infrastructure decisions. Our mission is to make cutting-edge models accessible to cross-functional teams such that companies can build and operate more renewable energy more profitably.

We apply data science, AI/ML prediction, optimization, and physical modeling to a range of applications that support decision-making, from early-stage siting of power plants to the daily operations of energy storage and solar projects. Our customers access these models via an easy-to-use web application or programmatically through our API and rely on the accuracy of our models and the performance of our software.

  • High-quality bar: You've developed marketing strategies and tactics that put the customer first, while hitting growth goals at the same time.
  • Interest in our product/mission-aligned/values-aligned: Knowledge of clean tech or strong desire to learn about these topics quickly.
