<h1>About Enode</h1>The grid was built for predictable, centralised power. Today it's absorbing intermittent supply from grid scale solar and wind, alongside dynamic demand from EVs, heat pumps, and home batteries. The missing piece is software that can connect and orchestrate these devices at scale.<a href="https://enode.com">Enode</a> provides the infrastructure layer that makes this possible. Our <a href="https://enode.com/connect">Connect</a> API gives energy companies a single integration to 1000+ devices across 80+ brands. Our <a href="https://enode.com/optimize">optimisation</a> tooling gives energy companies the building blocks to manage those devices locally - think smart charging for EVs. Our <a href="https://enode.com/flex">Flex</a> product turns those connected devices into a flexible, controllable asset for energy companies.We work with device manufacturers across the energy hardware ecosystem - from EV brands to heat pump and solar inverter producers. Our customers are energy retailers, utilities, and traders building the next generation of energy services. We're backed by Y Combinator, Lowercarbon Capital, and Creandum.The decisions made now will shape how the energy system gets built. We're looking for people who take ownership, move fast, and care deeply about the role technology can play in the energy transition.<h1>AI is fundamental to how we work</h1>AI is how a team our size keeps rewiring the way we work, fast enough to match what our mission demands. We look for people who reach for AI as a reflex and who can drop a habit that used to work. People who care about unblocking others, not just about what they ship themselves. If that's not quite how you work yet but it's the direction you're heading, we'd still like to hear from you. We assess this in our interview process, alongside everything else we look at.<h2>What we’re looking for:</h2>We're hiring a Partnerships Manager to work closely with the manufacturers (OEMs) whose devices are optimised by Enode. OEM partners are a vital part of Enode’s platform, and how we work with them determines how fast we scale as a company. Enode is partnering with leading automotive, EV charger and solar &amp; storage companies, e.g. VW Group, Zaptec and Solis. You'll sign new partners, succeed with existing ones, improve our product, and shape the playbook we use to do it.
