Software Engineers - Kaluza
Kaluza’s vision is to help create a world where decarbonization is easy. Born out of the OVO Group, Kaluza is the AI platform powering the future of energy.
From revolutionising customer billing to smart electric vehicle charging, our technologies are empowering some of the biggest energy suppliers to better serve millions of customers and unlocking the benefits of renewable energy and smart devices to help decarbonise the grid. Our products are built with differentiation in mind, giving developers endless ability to extend our core capabilities.
We are an agile scale up energy tech business, but we’re also backed by the resources of the UK’s largest independent energy supplier, OVO Energy. (The best of both worlds, one could say!).
Where in the world of Kaluza will I be working?
You'll be joining the technology area of Kaluza. We are a large team of both data-led and product focused Software and Production Engineers, pushing the boundaries of technology working at an extraordinary scale. As a collective we strive for engineering greatness and ensuring best practices across the board of the engineering community.
