Job Details

Let's face it, the energy sector doesn't have a great reputation.
We’ve all heard the horror stories. You might have been hit with an astronomically high energy bill or witnessed a general lack of customer service.
At Branch Energy, we're doing things differently.
We build software that makes it easy for consumers to reduce their energy bills and carbon footprints. We help our customers save money and save the planet. It’s a win-win.
With a combination of empathy and a whole lot of data, we’re able to offer our customers green energy at a fixed rate that’s competitive with the financial cost of the greenhouse gas emitting stuff (never mind the long-term implications on our environment).
Why Branch?
We’re here to build something great.
We believe in what we do and we have the potential to make the world a better, cleaner place. There’s a lot of room for improvement in this tired industry, and we’re excited to deliver a level of service our customers didn’t think was possible from their energy company.
We’re still in our early days, but we’re growing fast. We raised a Seed round in 2021, and we’re gearing up for a big 2022.
Climate change is a huge problem, and it will take the best and brightest minds to make a difference. We expect big things from our team, but if you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
