At Gridfuse, our mission is to shift this balance through technology. To shift the balance of inputs, so that renewables become the world's main source of electricity. To shift the balance of the grid by building renewable power pools that can balance themselves in the face of unpredictability and intermittency.
It takes a unique team to meet this vision. So, if you’re a data geek who sees the big picture, or a software engineer with a passion for a greener world, or simply someone who sees challenges and thinks in solutions, come join us at Gridfuse. We’re a diverse team of pragmatic engineers and energy market specialists, we’re based in Leipzig, and we want to change the world of energy with technology.
