Description
⚡About Amber
Amber is an entirely new way to buy and sell power, designed for a world powered by renewable energy. We give customers direct access to the real-time wholesale electricity price as it varies every 5 mins and the technology to shift more of their energy usage to the times when cheaper renewables are available in the grid. It’s a cheaper way to buy power, a smarter way to sell power, and the fastest way for Australia to reach 100% renewable energy.
We are a clear category leader in Australia for home battery automation and are growing rapidly (over 80k customers). We have also recently expanded into licensing our core technology to utilities overseas, including a partnership with E.ON Next in the UK.
Amber is backed by top Australian and international investors including Square Peg, Main Sequence, Breakthrough Victoria, Commonwealth Bank, NRMA, Gentrack, ETF Partners (UK/Europe based), and E.ON Next.
We are scaling rapidly and you’d be joining a team of over 200 committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and purpose-driven culture as we transform a major industry.
Our products are reshaping home energy: Amber for Batteries cuts bills by exporting stored energy at wholesale prices of up to $20/kWh, and Amber for EVs enables the cheapest, cleanest charging. In 2026, we will push this even further with our new vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology.
💻 About the role
We're looking for a Chief Technology Officer to lead technology at Amber, reporting to our co-founder and Co-CEO Chris Thompson and joining the executive team.
Our founding CTO built Amber's technology function over seven years and moves on later this year. What started with an MVP built by a couple of engineers is now a global platform supported by a team of around 80 with even more growth to come.
The technology you'd own controls physical assets in tens of thousands of homes and bids them into the National Electricity Market every five minutes. Get a forecast wrong and customers feel it on their bill. It runs in two places: our own retailer in Australia, where we push it hardest, and inside the utility partners overseas who license it. Making one platform serve both properly is the central architectural problem of the next few years.
