Role
Who you are
- You’re a hands-on engineer with expertise in at least one programming language - if your experience doesn't match our stack exactly then don't worry, we hire based on software engineering talent, not language-specific skillset. Interested in us? We're interested in you!
- You have built or contributed to a variety of systems, ideally in different technologies
- You have knowledge of the best engineering practices and continuous delivery
- You are genuinely passionate about developing products that will positively impact over a million people and also our environment
- You love working in teams and collaboratively building features that impact customers
- You are motivated by owning products, from inception to continuous improvement
- You believe strongly in test automation, continuous delivery and working with best agile practices
- You seek learning opportunities to deepen your expertise or broaden your knowledge
What the job involves
- You’ll be working on Kaluza’s Flexibility platform
- We’re a large team of both data-led and product focused Software and Production Engineers, pushing the boundaries of technology and working at an extraordinary scale
- As a collective we strive for engineering greatness and by ensuring best practices across the board of the community
- We have multiple roles available, and hence there’s some flexibility about exactly which team you might be working in
- Based on your skills and experience and where you see the next step in your career, we’ll work together with you to find the best match
- If you’re more inclined to the backend, then you could be working in one of a number of areas, from integrating new electric vehicles to the Flex platform through to building out the interfaces to enable retailers to offer flexible propositions to their end customers (such as Charge Anytime for OVO Energy)
- If you’re able to work across the full stack then you could be working alongside data scientists and other backend engineers on the core optimisation engine and the user interfaces that sit on top
Salary benchmarks
Our take
The energy landscape is one of the most dynamic and fast-evolving sectors in the world. More and more energy retailers are looking to move further toward digitisation and reap the benefits of modern technology in an increasingly connected world. But many are struggling with the transition, held back by legacy operating systems which slow them down, drain resources, and hamper innovation.
This is where Kaluza comes in. An ecosystem of platforms whose services range from energy billing to smart electric vehicle charging, Its real-time cloud platforms transform supplier operations, reducing the cost to serve and boosting customer engagement. Essentially, its platform is aimed at helping businesses streamline their operations, saving them time, effort, and money which can be better invested elsewhere.
Kaluza is riding the momentum of a growing desire for sustainable business and services. Its program relating to electric car charging, for example, will be able to capitalise on huge new demand in that sector - over 100,000 electric cars are already on the roads in the UK, and Bloomberg New Energy Finance has predicted that electric cars will account for over 50% of new global car sales by 2040. As the globe moves further towards sustainable use of energy in the coming years, Kaluza could be very well positioned to capitalise.
