Software Engineer | Energy & Climate Tech | London (Hybrid)


We are hiring a Software Engineer to join a scaling Energy Tech startup that’s tackling climate change head-on. They’re backed by top-tier investors (think the people behind Meta, BeReal, and Slack) and scaling at speed.


You’d be building the software infrastructure for a decarbonised energy system—writing production Python code that controls tens of thousands of assets like EV chargers, heating systems, and home batteries. Their platform shifts energy use to times when it’s cheaper and greener, with ML models predicting demand in real time.


Location: London – hybrid, 2-3 days onsite


Why Join:

  • $10M+ funding and strong commercial traction
  • Huge ownership from day one and a tight-knit team
  • Hard technical problems with direct environmental impact


Your Role:

  • Build and ship production-ready systems in Python and Typescript (open on programming background / FE or BE leaning Engineers), deployed on GCP with Docker
  • Prototype in Figma before moving fast to production
  • Help shape both the product and the engineering culture as they grow


They’re looking for engineers who thrive in uncertainty, enjoy rapid iteration, and care deeply about real-world impact.
