1KOMMA5°

At 1KOMMA5°, we pursue a clear vision: Living on wind and sunlight forever for free. To make this a reality, we are building the energy system of the future with Heartbeat AI. Want to be part of it?

We bring together regional craftsmanship and scalable software: We don't think of solar, batteries, heat pumps, and e-mobility as isolated components, but control them as an intelligent, integrated overall system in our virtual power plant. Directly connected to the electricity market – in real time, fully automated. This way, energy is used when it is available from renewables and particularly cost-effective. By 2030, our goal is to transition 1.5 million households to renewable energies. Over 3,000 people are working towards this every day, at more than 80 locations worldwide, from Finland to Australia.

Want to take responsibility and build solutions that truly matter? Apply now and help us shape the energy world of tomorrow.

Your mission

As a member of the B2C domain, you will build a virtual power plant leveraging our energy manager "Heartbeat", and continuously ship innovative energy market solutions to our customers.

You will be responsible for developing scalable, robust backend services that enable seamless integration of our energy management solutions with various energy markets.

Key responsibilities

• Work collaboratively with product managers, data engineers, and data scientists to understand problems, support discoveries, and create solutions our customers love.
