King Energy is a well-funded, VC-backed renewable energy company that builds, owns, and operates solar infrastructure on multi-tenant properties.

We have all the good benefits, stock options, PTO, etc. and we welcome everyone equally.

King Energy was founded by ex-Tesla, SolarCity, Aura, Roofstock, and Vista Equity executives with multiple successful exits.  We believe in experience and building talent from the ground up.  So if you have experience in renewable energy, or you want to switch industries and be part of the solution to climate change then talk to us.
