Company Overview:

Sustainability happens when it makes economic sense. King Energy builds, owns, and operates solar infrastructure on multi-tenant properties. We are a VC-backed, software-first renewable energy company revolutionizing multi-tenant commercial solar. With $36M in venture capital raised from the top renewable investors, including ArcTern, Blackhorn, Next Frontier Capital, and Active Impact, we make solar power accessible and profitable for tenants and landlords alike. Founded by proven executives from industry leaders like Tesla and SolarCity, our team has a proven track record of success. King Energy has over $200M in project funding and more than 20M square feet of commercial rooftop; King Energy is driving the energy transition.

We are a company that fully supports remote work. We encourage travel a few days a year to our headquarters in Durango, Colorado and San Luis Obispo, California, and we have two annual offsites. Otherwise, that is it. You are welcome to live and work wherever you please.

We offer a 9-80 work week (meaning we take every other Friday off), world class benefits, stock options, PTO, and plenty of training in the fast moving world of renewables. We believe in experience and building talent from the ground up. Of course, we welcome everyone equally.
