Our software moves energy usage to times when electricity is cheap and green, by controlling vehicle charging, heating systems, and home batteries. We control hundreds of thousands of energy assets.\nWe’re building in a legacy industry and moving gigawatt-hours of electrons in the real world, but we operate at lightning speed, and we’re growing the team to meet customer demand.\nWe’re proud to be supported by world-leading investors, including Energize Capital and Accel.\nRead more about what we’re building here.\nAbout the role\nSoftware Engineers at Axle build the core infrastructure for connecting to distributed energy devices, orchestrating them, and allowing them to participate in electricity markets.\nThis is a generalist Software Engineering role, encompassing product-engineering, devops, and data engineering. We encourage engineers to own as much of the problem-space as they can: you’ll spend time talking to clients, getting feedback from users, and working closely with market operators.\nAt Axle, we work in a deliberately flat structure. That means fewer layers, faster decisions, and more ownership for everyone.\nSoftware engineering at Axle looks like\nForming a deep understanding of the domain & the business, so you have enough context to execute independently at speed\n\nFocusing on outcomes, not process, and taking ownership for the end product you ship into the world\n\nManaging your own time and those of others to adapt to changing scope and deadlines, delivering 80% of the value in 20% of the time\n\nTech stack\nWe build in Python + React for the frontend\nEverything we build lives in Docker, for minimal cross-platform faff and maximal reproducibility.\nUnlimited Claude Code tokens - we are aggressive users and explorers of AI, and encourage everybody to reconsider their workflows regularly\nWe deploy on GCP\nWhat's in it for you\nA meaningful slice of equity in Axle, alongside a competitive salary, with total compensation ranging from £75k-£200k (base salary + equity).\nWe operate with a deliberately flat structure and aim to keep pay equitable across the company, with a 1:1 median ratio between founder and team compensation.\nEnhanced parental leave to support you through life's meaningful moments.\nBi-annual retreats to strengthen team connection & shared purpose.\nHybrid working - We have a dog-friendly office around Farringdon. To maximize collaboration, we ask that you spend 2-3 days a week in the office.\nThe opportunity to directly shape the future of energy markets and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon world.\nWe are extremely keen to build a diverse company, and we’re particularly eager to hear from candidates who don't fit the traditional role stereotypes. If you’re motivated by our mission, please do reach out, even if you feel you might not ‘check all the boxes’.\nInterview process\nInitial interview\n\nRemote pair programming\n\nFinal interview (in-person)\n\nOffer, references, and welcome to the team!","description_format":"text","description_chars":3068,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Hybrid work","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy & Utilities","Energy Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-15T19:52:59Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T06:21:15+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":13,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.374,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":30,"expected_fill_days":11,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":264857,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/axle-software-engineer-3","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/axle-software-engineer-3.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T09:05:58Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":13846,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":33617},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=33617"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Faxle-software-engineer-3"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Faxle-software-engineer-3"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Faxle-software-engineer-3"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/axle-software-engineer-3\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Faxle-software-engineer-3"}]}
