We’re hiring
Join us in turning cities around
the world into power plants.
From Tokyo to the world. We’re looking for people who want to build the future of energy with their own hands.
A frontier challenge: tackling climate change at scale.
We build businesses with a large social impact that transform how society’s energy systems work. Virtual power plants (VPPs) and demand response resources created from power-consuming equipment are urgently needed worldwide to increase the share of renewables. Yet only a limited number of companies can deliver them. From Asia to the world, we are taking on that need.
Big, difficult challenges with real social value. That is what makes them rewarding.
Renewing energy systems is not easy. It demands large-scale work and exceptional capability in both business and technology. Overcoming those barriers can change the planet’s future. We embrace difficult challenges and bring technical and commercial expertise together to solve them. We are looking for people who share that energy and ambition.
An exciting moment to build the business together.
Greenphard has completed significant fundraising and established the foundations of its business. We are now entering a phase of major growth. There are few more exciting moments to join a start-up. We welcome people who are passionate about building the business together.
Let’s build something
extraordinary together.
Think Global,
Act Local
For me, extraordinary work has social significance, large scale and high difficulty. It is challenging, rewarding and global, with the potential to protect the planet’s future.
Small-scale efforts alone cannot solve a challenge as large as climate change. We need to think globally and act at scale. To achieve that, we must build the systems that enable scale through steady daily steps, at exceptional speed. That is the company I want us to be.
Think Global Act Local.
Keep the bigger picture in view, and make steady progress towards it every day. That is how I want to spend my life.
To achieve something at scale, we need to grow it as a business. We will build a company that earns a solid profit, and properly reward the people who contribute to it.
But money is not our highest priority. It is a means to an end: building a good business that contributes to people's future. That is why we are committed to creating a strong business, and why we want people with that mindset to join us.
I may be biased, but we have plenty of challenging work that really satisfies intellectual curiosity! If difficult challenges excite you, you will enjoy it here. Our core members need technical expertise, business knowledge, finance and languages. Few jobs offer such variety. And your work actually runs enormous factories—not only helping those facilities, but supporting regional energy supply and the spread of renewable energy.
It is deeply rewarding work. We are about to grow our organisation, and many systems are still being built. It can feel like a guerrilla operation, although our office is perfectly nice! If you have the drive of a special-forces team and feel you can do the work of a hundred people, we would love to hear from you. That is only a metaphor—we do not expect long working hours!
And if that is who you want to become, we would love to hear from you too.
Let's create work that excites us, together!

Who we look for
A team of one-person armies that can move the world
Professionals with deep expertise and broad capabilities
Our business combines hardware, software, control algorithms and complex business models. These closely connected areas must work together. Each of us needs deep expertise, a sound understanding of every area and the willingness to broaden our own specialism. Together, we turn all of them into one product. Each person covers more ground than is typical in a large company, while tackling difficult problems. We need every member to be exceptionally capable.
Pioneers who learn, act and lead independently
We are doing things that are new to the world, so there is no teacher with all the answers. We share knowledge and help each other, but each professional must also contribute their own skills, learn independently, think for themselves and lead the exploration of new ground. Our technology and business are complex and intellectually stimulating. We need pioneers who turn learning and thought into action.
People who are passionate about meaningful work
Our work operates at a scale that can directly help address climate change, supported by advanced technology and sophisticated business models. We seek people who are excited by that intellectually stimulating, meaningful work. As a startup, we will properly reward those who help the company grow. But we want teammates who see money as a means and share our commitment to the challenge itself. Let's create exciting work together.
