| Kaluza reimagines energy to bring net-zero within everyone’s reach. Our intelligent 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 2-3 days 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! 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? You will be working within the Kaluza Client Application Support team, with a focus on triaging agent & customer issues from Retailers & analysing problems that are discovered. With a unique combination of technical expertise, domain knowledge, and strategic oversight, the team delivers high-value work that directly supports business-critical functions. What will I be doing? You'll be the go-to guru for performing impact assessments and root cause analysis, identifying impacted accounts or processes and recommending technical fix approaches, using the Kaluza incident process. When you’re not saving the day, you’ll be helping define what a good Client Support looks like, liaising with product teams to provide updates and solutions to customers. This is a technical role and candidates will need to demonstrate a strong desire and ability to quickly grasp and work with new and existing technologies, being proactive with a strong technical background and a deep understanding of either the energy industry or the SaaS business model. This includes providing a mix of analysis, process orchestration and process implementation support for our Product teams by creating and maintaining data pipelines that are efficient and scalable and where suitable, using platform APIs to provide solutions for clients. You will play an integral part in standing up an enduring Kaluza presence in the region and supporting our clients. Kaluza is predominantly based in the UK. Due to the time difference between Melbourne and the UK, you will need to manage client expectations and interactions with UK teams across time zones, with support from your UK counterparts. You’ll be working predominantly on the Kaluza Energy Retail platform. This is a single instance, SaaS technology platform that aims to revolutionise the operating platforms for energy retailers globally. This platform has been built with scale and technical quality in mind and is the foundation for decarbonisation efforts by Kaluza’s customers. We’re looking to transform to a multi-tenant, international ready model to help the business take on new challenges and external customers. Key responsibilities include: Triage agent and customer tickets, prioritising issues based on their urgency and business impact using JIRA. Deep dive into multiple data sources like Databricks, APIs, and dashboards to uncover trends and support root cause analysis. Be proactive in containing and mitigating incidents to prevent further impact across the platform. Identify underlying technical issues through root cause analysis and recommend necessary fixes or structural improvements. Work closely with Product and Engineering squads to resolve complex problems and implement scalable solutions. Champion the incident management process by providing timely analysis and actionable fix recommendations. Liaise with various stakeholders to manage expectations and provide clear updates to both internal teams and clients. Act as the go-to expert for early support on the Retail Energy platform, ensuring smooth adoption for every release. Drive the identification of feature gaps and work with product teams to prioritise their resolution based on impact. Translate complex problem statements into well-structured and efficient technical solutions. Leverage data-driven insights to improve operational performance and inform product development decisions. Automate manual workflows using Python, SQL, and AWS, feeding key learnings back to our engineering community. Join the 24/7 on-call rotation to help maintain platform stability and respond to critical incidents. |
