Posted 1 day ago

Amber 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. 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 exported to the grid at times when the price they can be paid for it is highest.

We are backed by Australia’s leading VCs (including Square Peg Capital, Main Sequence Ventures, Rubio Impact Ventures, and Breakthrough Victoria), impact‑focused investors and individuals, and most recently by Commonwealth Bank, NRMA, Gentrack, ETF Partners (UK/Europe based) and E.ON Next (UK’s third‑largest energy provider).

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.

We’re now at a critical moment in taking the business to real scale we disrupt a huge market for the better. You’d be a part of a rapidly growing team of over 175, with expertise across energy, technology, marketing, and operations. We’re 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 unlocks more value for homeowners with batteries, driving down their energy bills and their payback periods. By storing energy when it’s cheap and exporting it to the grid for wholesale feed‑in rates of up to $19/kWh, Amber’s software is completely changing the economics of home batteries and accelerating the energy transition.

Amber for EVs is our EV smart charging solution that helps EV owners save on their charging costs by using more cheap, renewable energy – whether that’s their own excess solar energy, or renewable energy that’s abundant in the grid. In 2025, we are kicking off development of our game‑changing vehicle‑to‑grid technology.

What we believe a great team looks like We put the customer at the centre of everything we do . Whatever it is we are doing, it’s always with a viewpoint that this will help our customers, whether that’s 10,000 customers right now, or 1 million customers in the future.

We are willing to take calculated risks on bold ideas . We seek to do things differently and are willing to try creative ideas if we believe there is significant upside with a culture where we recognise that not all ideas will succeed.

Hypothesis driven approach . We develop hypotheses of actions we can take to improve the business and then set up the systems to quickly test if that hypothesis was correct.

We seek insight . We seek to disaggregate the data to draw out the insight to inform our next hypothesis.

We prioritise the biggest opportunities . We test a variety of ideas but quickly cut what isn’t working and double down on what is.

We continually learn and improve . We keep track of what we have learnt so that we continually improve and never make the same mistake twice.

We create leverage . We believe that the key to creating an efficient business at scale is to create leverage in everything we do. Whether that’s implementing a better processes or developing a new technology to solve a problem faster.

We have fun . We love coming to work, and interacting with our colleagues and customers. If we spot an opportunity for a joke, or to do something nice for someone, then we take it.

We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and a great culture of people who love coming to work to build a better world.
