As a Software Engineer on our Customer Success team, you will be working to make our service as easy as possible for our users. You’ll be improving the product where there are pain-points and helping to ensure we can resolve customer issues as painlessly and efficiently as possible. You will need to be a generalist who is happy to work across our existing technology stack and also be willing to suggest new tools and systems where you think they are needed. In this role, you will need to work alongside our Customer Success Advocates and a range of specialist engineers to solve problems so clearly written communication should be something you value.

We partner with energy companies such as Igloo Energy, Rolec Services and ESB to deliver tariffs and products which integrate smartly with electric vehicles and their chargers.

Since we were incorporated two years ago, we’ve grown from 0 to 12500+ users, raised a funding round, collaborated with 15+ energy companies and saved over 25 tonnes of CO2. We were part of Microsoft’s first AI for Good cohort, won the EDF Pulse Innovation Challenge and were named “Best Energy Startup in the World” by Free Electrons 2019.
