Senior Fullstack Engineer

Podero background

🟪 Podero is a fully funded 12-people seed-stage startup currently growing to ~20 people.

🟪 At Podero you’ll have a great support system around you. Our founders Chris and Moritz are both engineers and understand the intricacies of technical product decisions. Sebastian, our head of engineering has over 20 years of experience and is known for giving non-opinionated advice. Our team of engineers has worked on electricity and advertisement trading, heating system optimization, supply chain predictions, autonomous driving, oil-rig steering, payment software, and much more.

🟪 We started Podero after advising 20 apartment buildings to switch from oil & gas heating to heat pumps. We realized we could significantly reduce consumer energy costs by building software to steer electrical devices according to electricity markets. Since cheap power prices correlate with lower carbon emissions, we also measurably reduce the electricity’s CO2 intensity when saving consumers money. Theoretically, we could reduce 4.4% of all carbon emissions if rolled out on a global scale.

🟪 Podero is based in Vienna, Austria, and serves customers in DACH and Scandinavia.
