As a growing SaaS business, we pride ourselves on technical excellence and the ability for our work to have a real impact in tackling humanity’s biggest challenge. 

We want the best people

At Kaluza, we empower our people to have choice around where and when they work - flexible working arrangements can be discussed for all of our roles. Please speak to the Talent Acquisition team for more info.

We're keen to meet people with varied backgrounds - our view is the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be. We want to build teams which represent a variety of experiences, perspectives and skills, and we recognise talent on the basis of merit and potential.

We understand some people may not apply for jobs unless they tick every box. If you're excited about joining us and think you have much of what we're looking for, even if you're not 100% sure… we'd love to hear from you.

Is this the job for me?

You’re the right person for us if:

• You are genuinely passionate about developing products that will positively impact over a million people and also our environment
• You love working in teams and collaboratively building features that impact customers
• You are motivated by owning products, from inception to continuous improvement
• You believe strongly in test automation, continuous delivery and working with best agile practices
• You love building scalable, resilient solutions
• You seek learning opportunities to deepen your expertise or broaden your knowledge

What experience you’ll need:

• You’re a hands-on engineer with expertise in at least one programming language - if your experience doesn't match our stack exactly then don't worry, we hire based on software engineering talent, not language-specific skillset. Interested in us? We're interested in you!
• You have built or contributed to a variety of systems, ideally in different technologies
• Knowledge of the best engineering practices and continuous delivery
• You have experience building highly performant applications

Our tech stack is different in different parts of the platform: Scala, Go, TypeScript and React are very common. We’re cloud native and use Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka and Terraform. We run our services in GCP and AWS.
