Connects home energy devices to markets
At Axle Energy, we’re building the infrastructure that will underpin the decarbonised energy system. Our software moves energy usage to times when electricity is cheap and green, by controlling vehicle charging, heating systems, and home batteries. We control hundreds of thousands of energy assets.
We’re building in a legacy industry and moving gigawatt-hours of electrons in the real world, but we operate at lightning speed, and we’re growing the team to meet customer demand.
We’re proud to be supported by world-leading investors, including Energize Capital and Accel.

This is a wide-ranging role that’ll require you to move at speed across diverse topics; in return, you’ll gain high levels of ownership and exposure. Example topics include:
entering new markets, from research & analysis to planning & delivery
helping our new and existing clients get the most out of our software
exploring and delivering on opportunities for growth in new verticals and customer segments
This is a high-velocity, high-impact role. To succeed, you’ll need to learn quickly, act with purpose, and absorb & process highly technical information. You’ll need to be strong with data, and have a ‘run through walls’ attitude to overcome the inevitable barriers.
A meaningful slice of equity in Axle, alongside a competitive salary, with total compensation ranging from £75k–£200k (base salary + equity).
We operate with a deliberately flat structure and aim to keep pay equitable across the company, with a 1:1 median ratio between founder and team compensation.
Enhanced parental leave to support you through life's meaningful moments.
Bi-annual retreats to strengthen team connection & shared purpose.
Hybrid working - We have a dog-friendly office around Farringdon. To maximize collaboration, we ask that you spend 2-3 days a week in the office.
The opportunity to directly shape the future of energy markets and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon world.
We are extremely keen to build a diverse company, and we’re particularly eager to hear from candidates who don't fit the traditional role stereotypes. If you’re motivated by our mission, please do reach out, even if you feel you might not ‘check all the boxes’.

Connects home energy devices to markets
Axle Energy connects distributed home energy devices—such as EV chargers, batteries, and heat pumps—to European electricity markets so suppliers and hardware makers can monetize flexibility as a virtual power plant. Its API and white-label tools let partners aggregate demand-side response, lower consumer energy costs, and support grid decarbonisation across regulated European markets. The company differentiates itself by focusing on the integration of household assets with a scalable European-market platform, enabling partners (energy suppliers and hardware makers) to rapidly deploy demand-side flexibility through a unified API and white-label solutions. Axle aims to scale its flexibility platform and expand market coverage to drive more value from distributed energy resources while aiding grid decarbonisation.
