Kaluza reimagines energy to bring net-zero within everyone’s reach. The Kaluza Platform enables energy utilities to unlock the full value of a radically changing energy system and propel us to a future where renewable energy is sustainable, affordable and accessible for all. 

From automating and simplifying core operations including billing to create a lower-cost, higher-engagement experience, to optimising energy usage across smart devices in the home, we turn tough challenges into win-win-win outcomes for customers, suppliers and the energy system. 

We champion a flexible, hybrid work approach and we find that teams often benefit from coming together in the office at least once a week to foster connection and accelerate progress.

Outside of these collaborative opportunities, we aim to be as flexible as possible to balance work with life. As a company we come together annually for our conference and end of year celebrations!

What will I be doing?

A technical leader in our Deployment Design team, you will be responsible for the design, plan and build of the data migration for each of Kaluza’s platform deployments. The Migration Architect will be well-versed in the complexities and risks associated with data migration programmes, and be well-equipped to develop methodologies that reduce and remove these risks. 

You will be a key member of the Deployment Design team: a specialist unit focused on winning Kaluza new business and then delivering on the deals made. The team’s mission is to create seamless, scalable, and secure deployment solutions that empower our clients to accelerate innovation, achieve operational efficiency and business success. Through collaboration, a focus on repeatability, and a user-centred approach, we design and implement reliable SaaS deployment architectures that enhance performance, minimise risk, and support future growth.

As well as exceptional technical skills, you must have an acute commercial understanding of technology-based transformations, including contributing to business case development, the ability to solve complex problems and make well-reasoned recommendations to stakeholders who are both technical and non-technical.
