Kaluza wants to power a world where net-zero is within everyone’s reach, by building the platform that will accelerate a sustainable, affordable and resilient energy transition. It’s a huge challenge, but often the toughest problems are the most rewarding to solve.
Since launching in 2019, Kaluza’s technology has been empowering some of the biggest energy suppliers to better serve millions of customers.
From revolutionising billing to smart electric vehicle charging, our real-time cloud platforms transform supplier operations, reducing cost to serve and boosting engagement. And most importantly, they enable suppliers' customers to drive decarbonisation with smart, low carbon technologies.
Where in the world of Kaluza will I be working?
You'll be joining the Tariffs and Pricing team at Kaluza. Our mission is to enable retailers to continuously deliver the most innovative and competitive tariffs in the market through an intuitive, flexible and customisable platform.
The team is part of a larger group working on the Kaluza Retail platform called ‘Orion’. This is a single instance multi-tenant SaaS technology platform that aims to revolutionise the operating platforms for energy retailers globally. This platform has been built with scale and technical quality in mind and is the foundation for decarbonisation efforts by Kaluza’s customers. We are looking to transform to a multi-tenant, international ready model to help the business take on new challenges and external customers.
What will I be doing?
You'd be joining as a tech leader contributing to the long term technical strategy, taking on responsibility for the team's domain and codebase and ensuring that the team achieves its product and technical goals. On a day to day basis, you would be fully embedded in the team and take a leading role in ensuring the team is operating effectively; you will also be working within a team of other senior leaders responsible for designing and evolving the architecture for this platform over the long term. This work will include building proof of concepts, delivering code into production, whiteboarding or collaborating with other teams
and engineers to achieve needed steps.
Key responsibilities include:
