Job description

We're empowering millions of people to access clean, affordable energy. We're a Melbourne-based technology company, and our world-first technology, SolShare, unlocks rooftop solar for apartment residents. This smart hardware connects a single rooftop solar system to multiple units and common areas, fairly distributing solar energy so everyone gets their fair share. SolShare helps reduce both energy bills and carbon emissions.

SolShare removes the technical and ownership barriers that have long prevented apartment households from accessing rooftop solar. We built it here in Melbourne, and it's now connected over 13,000 apartments across Australia, the UK and the US. We're doubling our installation base each year, and we're aiming to connect over 100,000 apartments by 2029. SolShare now also brings shared battery optimisation to apartment buildings.

We're growing quickly, and our technology is becoming more capable as we scale. That means we need great people to help us build what comes next.

About the Role

Our SolShare technology brings together mechanical, electrical, electronics, firmware, cloud and web software engineering.

• Lead and develop the cloud and web team – day-to-day management, mentoring, design reviews and removing roadblocks.
• Turn product goals into a prioritised delivery plan, working with stakeholders and technical partners.
