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.

Kaluza is currently in an exciting growth phase, undergoing the next phase of our international expansion in Melbourne to further reinforce our capabilities as a globally distributed energy platform.

This means that you would be one of the earliest Kaluza employees on the ground in Australia, working directly with our clients in the region.

We're in the early days of building our team and so in-office presence to us is important - working really closely with our clients to forge a strong working relationship. Our team currently works from our office in Melbourne CBD (Spencer St) 2-3 days per week.

Is this the job for me?

Ideally you'll have/be:

  • Experience in software engineering leadership and client service
  • A bias to action and a ‘Can do’ approach to problem solving in the face of uncertainty
  • Experience of building, managing and leading engineering teams
  • Experience of mentoring, training and developing other engineers
  • Experience in the energy retail or utility industry
  • Familiarity with supporting clients in high-level solution design decisions and throughout complex integrations and migrations
  • Alignment with the Kaluza values and mission

From us you’ll get

We're just getting set up in Australia for the first time, so we'll build out our full benefits offering in the coming months. Currently, from day one, you will get:

  • Progressive leave policies - including leave dedicated to the moments that matter to you the most
  • Annual discretionary bonus
  • Dedicated personal learning and home office budgets
  • Flexible working — we trust you to work in a way that suits your lifestyle
  • 26 days holiday
  • Kaluza Share Scheme

We'll then build out our benefits and progressive policies soon to ensure your Total Reward package is highly competitive, and that you're well looked after.

Kaluza’s vision is to power a world where net-zero is within everyone’s reach. Would you be interested in joining us to help achieve this?
