Software Engineer - Flex

Job title: Software Engineer

Location: London, Edinburgh or Bristol (including hybrid)

Salary: £50,000 - £80,000

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.

What will I be doing?

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.

Is this the job for me?

You're the right person for us if…

• 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
