Who we are - Our Mission

terralayr addresses the massive deficit in global energy storage. The over-indexing of electricity generation from renewable energy sources leads to large volatility on the energy grid. The main problem is that wind and solar farms are fluctuating and, by definition, unsteady—there is no sun at night, and it is not always windy. This increases the need for flexibility in the form of battery storage systems to balance the grid in times when supply and demand do not match. By buying and developing grid-scale storage assets and virtually aggregating them across a layer, we are creating the world's first energy cloud. Imagine AWS for energy. Through the flexibility we secure, we can market flexibility-as-a-service and hedging products/power insurance to utilities, SMEs, and industrial players and create virtual storage capacity for PV and wind farms.

What we are hiring for - Your Role

Currently, we are looking for an Operations Support Engineer (m/f/d) to join our team.

• Continuous Improvement: Identify recurring issues and suggest improvements to processes, tools, or product functionality. Stay informed on system updates, patches, and relevant technologies to ensure best practices are followed.

What we are looking for - Your Qualifications

• Experience: Proven experience as an Operations Support Engineer or in a similar technical support role, ideally within the tech or energy sectors, with a strong track record of resolving complex application issues and supporting critical systems.
