AI platform for real-time energy operations optimization
Applied Computing builds Orbital, a physics-informed AI system for energy operators to extract actionable insights from production data in real time. The stack—Python, PyTorch, Kafka, Kubernetes, RAG with Claude and Gemini—is shaped for streaming data pipelines and LLM-augmented decision support. Hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering and product (7 of 14 roles filled in the last month), while pain points cluster around production reliability, sensor noise handling, and scaling deployments across geographies—typical friction for a platform moving from early customer sites toward repeatable delivery.

Applied Computing develops Orbital, a multi-foundation AI platform purpose-built for energy industry operations. The product enables engineers and plant operators to use 100% of their operational data for real-time optimization via physics-grounded, trustworthy AI models. The company targets downstream energy and critical infrastructure sectors where legacy systems and fragmented data currently prevent rapid decision-making. Based in London with 11–50 employees, the team is structured around engineering-led product development (custom UI, time-series modeling, uncertainty quantification, probabilistic models) paired with a small sales and product organization. Active work spans customer deployments, foundational model stacks, scalable platform architecture, and delivery frameworks to replicate success across sites and regions.
Python, PyTorch, React, Svelte, Node.js, FastAPI, Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, PostgreSQL, AWS, and LLM integrations (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI) for data pipelines and AI inference.
Orbital deployments at customer sites, time-series modeling infrastructure, uncertainty quantification under sensor faults, scalable product platform, developer APIs, and delivery frameworks for multi-geography rollout.
