Job Specifications

We’re hiring engineers who ship fast, build delightful products, and want to step into the arena in the fight against climate change.

We’re building the software infrastructure for the decarbonised energy system, backed by some of the best investors in the world (TechCrunch).

We make the technology to move energy usage to times when electricity is cheap and green. Our software controls vehicle charging, heating systems, and home batteries. We use machine learning to figure out what energy people will need, and when they'll need it. We control tens of thousands of energy assets, and we’re growing quickly.

a desire to help build and lead an exceptional and tight knit team
deep-seated motivation to combat climate change

Tech stack

We like to build backends in Python, because it allows data scientists and engineers to collaborate closely and move quickly.

We try a bunch of things in Figma before we build them in code, because it's a fast and cheap way to get feedback.

Everything we build lives in Docker, for minimal cross-platform faff and maximal reproducibility.

We deploy on GCP

Benefits

We love the idea of fully remote work but it doesn't… work. For very early stage companies, people learn faster, get on better, and accomplish more when they're spending a decent chunk of time together. We ask that you spend 2-3 days a week in our London office.

We are extremely keen to build a diverse company, and we’re particularly eager to hear from candidates who don't fit the traditional role stereotypes. If you’re motivated by our mission, please do reach out, even if you feel you might not ‘check all the boxes’.
