About AmberAmber is an entirely new way of thinking about buying, banking and selling energy where home energy technology works to put money back in customers pockets and accelerate the renewable energy transition. Everything we build is about making that possible and putting traditional retailers in the shade.We believe the cheapest, fastest and most rewarding way to reach 100% renewables is to automate the growing wave of home batteries and EVs. To do that, we build products that customers love to help them unlock the full value of their home energy usage, storage and generation, while keeping them in control. Customers get direct access to the real-time wholesale electricity price and the technology to shift energy usage to the times when cheaper renewables are available in the grid and export to the grid at times when the price they can be paid for it is highest.We are backed by Australias leading VCs (including Square Peg Capital and Main Sequence Ventures), impact-focused investors and individuals, and most recently by Commonwealth Bank, NRMA and Gentrack.We are growing rapidly and have thousands of customers who love what we are doing and a great product that will play a significant role in driving Australia and the world towards a renewable future.Were now at a critical moment in taking the business to real scale as we disrupt a huge market for the better. Youd be a part of a rapidly growing team of over 150, with expertise across energy, technology, marketing, and operations. Were committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and a great culture of people who love coming to work to build a better world.Amber for Batteries product helps customers unlock more value from their batteries, driving down their energy bills and their payback periods. By enabling customers to store energy in their batteries when its cheap and export it to the grid for wholesale feed-in rates of up to $19/kWh, rather than a few cents, Ambers software is completely changing the economics of home batteries and helping to accelerate the energy transition. Customers can choose to set and forget with AI-powered automation or take control of their battery at any time if they want to, unlike with a traditional virtual power plant.Amber for EVs is our EV smart charging solution that is helping more EV owners save on their EV charging costs by using more cheap, renewable energy - whether thats their own excess solar energy, or renewable energy thats abundant in the grid during the day time. We believe in making it simple for any EV owner with solar to get the maximum amount of free EV charging from their solar set-up, without pricey-hardware. In 2025, we are taking the next step towards the frontier of the energy transition, kicking off development of our vehicle-to-grid technology that allows EV owners to use their car as a home battery, powering their home and earning from exporting excess energy to the grid.About the roleAt Amber we believe that enabling a culture where everyone at Amber is set up to do the best work of their lives and feels connected and supported is one of the most important things we can do to ensure Ambers long-term success.Want to help improve the environment by shifting Australia and the worlds energy usage towards renewables?Amber is on a path to move Australia and the world towards 100% renewable energy.
