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.
Kaluza is currently in an exciting growth phase, undergoing the next phase of our international expansion in Melbourne to further reinforce our capabilities as a globally distributed energy platform.
This means that you would be one of the earliest Kaluza employees on the ground in Australia, working directly with our clients in the region.
We're in the early days of building our team and so in-office presence to us is important - working really closely with our clients to forge a strong working relationship. Our team currently works from our office in Melbourne CBD (Spencer St) 2-3 days per week.
Our goal is to build a self-sufficient and empowered team here on the ground in Australia. We’re well on our way, but until we get there we still have some reliances on our UK team. Being comfortable working flexibly for a portion of your working week to cover time zones is required.
Where in the world of Kaluza will I be working?
We’re very excited about Kaluza's growing presence in the Australian market. One of the key pillars for the expansion in Australia is rolling out and localising our Kaluza Flex solution.
You will have the opportunity to work with Kaluza Flex product and delivery teams to support bringing innovative DER (distributed energy resource) products to market including electric vehicle (EV) smart charging, residential solar and storage optimisation and smart HVAC.
Following Kaluza’s first phase of work in Australia, which has focused on building and launching an EV smart charging product, you will get the opportunity to work with Kaluza’s clients and Product teams to drive expansion into other DERs; developing solutions with deep local market integrations.
You’ll be working on Kaluza’s Flexibility platform. Designed to be the nervous system connecting energy retailers, grid operators, and consumers, Flex will aid us in creating the distributed, consumer-centric, dynamic energy system of the future. Bridging the gap between distributed renewable generation and smart devices, it helps consumers shift their energy consumption to times when there's more renewable energy. This not only saves them money, but enables society as a whole to meet the challenge of decarbonising transport and residential heating/cooling. We’re also supporting this vital shift by building the innovative technology behind unique, market-leading customer propositions like Vehicle to Grid, Charge Anytime Energy Plan with our energy retailer partners.
What will I be doing?
You will be the ‘on the ground’ Kaluza Flex product lead to drive forward the DER design, development and launch activities in Australia. Key responsibilities for the role include:
