Our intelligent Platform enables energy utilities to unlock the full value of a radically changing energy system and propel us to a future where renewable energy is sustainable, affordable and accessible for all.\nFrom automating and simplifying core operations including billing to create a lower-cost, higher-engagement experience, to optimising energy usage across smart devices in the home, we turn tough challenges into win-win-win outcomes for customers, suppliers and the energy system.\nWe champion a flexible, hybrid work approach and we find that teams often benefit from coming together in the office at least 3 days a week to foster connection and accelerate progress.\nOutside of these collaborative opportunities, we aim to be as flexible as possible to balance work with life. As a company we come together annually for our conference and end of year celebrations!\nOur goal is to build a self-sufficient and empowered team here on the ground in Australia. We're well on our way, but until we get there we still have some reliances on our UK team.

This gives us the best of both: real time together to collaborate and build relationships, with the flexibility to work in the way that suits you best the rest of the week.\nKaluza Values\nHere at Kaluza we have five core values that guide us as a business: Play to win, Solve the real problem, Build trust every day, Own the outcome, Go further together\nFrom us you'll get\nCurrently, from day one, you will get:\nProgressive leave policies - including leave dedicated to the moments that matter to you the most\n\nAnnual discretionary bonus\n\nDedicated personal learning and home office budgets\n\nFlexible working - 3 days in our CBD Melbourne (WeWork) office\n\n26 days holiday\n\nNovated Leasing\n\nPurchase Leave\n\nWe want the best people\nWe're keen to meet people from all walks of life - our view is that the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.
