(Senior) Technical Operator (m/f/d)
(M/F/D) — Leipzig
What's it all about?
At Gridfuse, we believe the future of energy should be decentralized and renewable — and we’re building the infrastructure to make that happen.
The grid still depends on fossil fuels — not because we lack renewable energy, but because we lack the systems to integrate it reliably. Our mission is to shift that balance through technology: by building intelligent, decentralized power pools that respond to volatility in real time.
It takes a unique team to meet this vision. You will join our Operations team in our Headquarters in Leipzig, which is responsible for integration of our assets and troubleshooting in case of connection issues.
