Senior Software Engineer

Senior Engineer Location: Bristol, London or Edinburgh (hybrid, three days a week in the office) Level: Senior Engineer I - Senior Engineer II Team: Engineering Contract: Permanent Reporting To: Software Engineering Manager Please note: This role requires an existing right to work in the UK. We can’t offer visa sponsorship, but we review sponsorship role by role, so keep an eye on our careers site for future opportunities. About Kaluza Kaluza is the Energy Intelligence Platform, turning energy complexity into seamless coordination.

We help energy companies overcome today’s challenges while accelerating the shift to a clean, electrified future. Our platform orchestrates millions of real-time decisions across homes, devices, markets and grids. By combining predictive algorithms with human-centred design, Kaluza makes clean energy dependable, affordable and adaptive to everyday life. With teams across Europe, Asia and Australia, and a joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation in Japan, we power leading companies including OVO, AGL and ENGIE, as well as innovators like Volvo and Volkswagen.

The role You’ll join the Kaluza Technology community: a large team of product-focused and data-led Product and Platform Engineers working at serious scale. Our ecosystem is diverse depending on the team, spanning TypeScript on AWS, Go on GCP, and Scala, so we index on product-minded problem solving over language purity. As a Senior Engineer you’ll own a slice of the product end-to-end, from the first design conversation to running it in production, and you’ll build it with AI coding agents as your default. We’re looking for someone whose judgement is worth more than their typing speed.

Engineers at Kaluza build with AI, and we mean that practically. From your first day you’ll have paid access to Claude Code, with a budget we don’t ration, and MCP access to the systems you need. Our tooling and conventions are evolving quickly, and you’ll have a heavy hand in defining how we build moving forward.

Own a slice of the product end to end: shape the problem with product and design, build the interface and the services behind it, ship it, and run it in production.

• Work across the stack over time: depending on the team you’ll work across the interface people use, the services behind it, and the APIs between them, in whatever stack your team runs.
• Build with AI coding agents as your default: break work down so agents can execute it, direct them, review what they produce as carefully as a colleague’s PR, and maintain the tests and guardrails that let agent-written code merge safely.
• Stay close to the people who use what you build, directly or through our forward-deployed engineers: a supplier’s operations team, a customer plugging in a car at night. Instrument what you ship so you can see how it’s used, and turn what you learn into shipped changes.
• Make good work the default: shape the codebase, conventions and automated checks so that agents and new teammates produce the right thing without anyone catching it in review.
• Mentor, review, and share what you know.

These are the practices and behaviours we see most in our top engineers and value deeply, but we don't expect everyone to tick every single box. If you're excited by the role and can see yourself thriving here, we’d love to hear from you. Ideally, you’ll have:

• Experience shipping production software: You bring real depth to either the front or back end of a modern stack, and potentially an openness to stretch across both as you navigate our diverse ecosystem.
• A daily agentic development practice: You build with tools like Cursor or Claude Code, can walk us through work you’ve shipped this way, and review AI output as rigorously as a colleague’s PR.
• Able to navigate a complex, high-stakes domain: You keep complex energy logic legible across microservices, knowing exactly when to use sync vs async to prevent cascading failures.
• Cloud and operational ownership: You're comfortable deploying on major cloud platforms using shared tooling. You fully own your software in production, which includes participating in an out-of-hours on-call rota.
• Strong product sense: You relentlessly ask "why" before building, and can point to times when direct user feedback or metrics materially changed what you ultimately shipped.
• Clear written communication: You write specs, PR descriptions, and post-mortems with enough clarity and context that either a human teammate or an AI agent can immediately act on them.
• A multiplier for your team: You mentor peers and proactively shape how the team works; introducing conventions, checks, or shared context that makes everyone else’s output consistently better.

you’ve built tooling around coding agents (MCP servers, skills, CI checks); experience in energy or another real-time, regulated domain. Our Values Five values guide how we work at Kaluza:
