Capalo AI Talent Community

Capalo AI runs the trading intelligence behind more than 1 GW of battery storage across Finland, Sweden, Latvia, and Lithuania. Every day, our AI makes thousands of decisions about when to charge, when to discharge, and which electricity markets to bid into, turning energy storage from a fixed asset into the most profitable software-defined product in the energy system.

We recently closed a new funding round to accelerate our expansion across Europe - read more [here](https://capaloai.com/news/capalo-ai-raises-11m-to-become-leading-optimizer/).

We're building the platform that the next decade of European energy storage will run on. We're hiring fast across every function, and this page is for the people who want in, even if there isn't a posted role that matches you today.

Why Capalo

• Real impact, real megawatts: Your work shows up in carbon avoided, renewables enabled and grids that work. Not abstract, measurable.
• Hard, novel problems: Forecasting, optimization under uncertainty, real-time market participation and AI that has to be right in production every five minutes.
• Speed without chaos: We're scaling fast, new markets, new products, new hires, but with the engineering and operational discipline to not break what already works.
• A team you'll learn from: energy traders, ML researchers, platform engineers, and commercial operators, all unusually good at what they do.

Where We Hire

We hire across ten teams. Pick the one that best matches your background. You can also pick more than one, or tell us you don't fit any of these and have something different to offer.

Commercial

Growth — _Win new customers and new markets_

You hunt for asset owners, utilities, IPPs, developers, who are sitting on battery projects and need a smarter trading partner. Expect time in Helsinki, Stockholm, Riga, Vilnius, and at industry events. Strong commercial instincts and energy domain depth both welcome.

Customer Onboarding — _Bring signed customers live_

Once a deal closes, you turn it into a live, optimizing asset. That means coordinating with grid operators, project-managing across engineering and commercial and hitting a launch date. Project management chops with technical fluency.

Partnerships — _Strategic relationships across the energy ecosystem_

BESS doesn't operate in isolation. You build the relationships with hardware vendors, EPCs, traders, regulators, and grid operators that make our platform and our customers' assets stronger.

Marketing — _Build the brand serious buyers take seriously_

Energy is a serious industry that buys serious products. You build the brand asset owners trust, the content buyers actually read, and the demand the Growth team can convert.

##### Engineering & Product

Engineering — Optimization — _The intelligence behind the platform_

You build the algorithms that decide what every battery does, every minute. Forecasting, bidding, optimization under uncertainty. Math-heavy, deeply researchy, with daily real-world feedback in P&L. Strong fits include applied math, OR, ML, and quant trading backgrounds.

Engineering — Production — _The platform that doesn't stop_

You make sure the system keeps running when electricity markets don't wait. Backend systems, infrastructure, observability, and shipping into new markets without breaking the ones that already work.

Staff Engineering — _Technical leadership across the platform_

You set technical direction across teams, raise the bar on architecture and design and mentor engineers. Hands-on, opinionated, and trusted to make calls that compound for years.

Product — _What we build, why and in what order_

You translate market complexity, customer asks, and engineering reality into a roadmap. Heavy collaboration with Optimization, Production, and the trading desk. Energy or fintech product backgrounds are a strong plus.

Operations

Operations — _Keep a fast company moving without the wheels falling off_

Finance, legal, regulatory, and the operational scaffolding that lets a fast-scaling team stay nimble without missing what a much larger company would catch.

People — _Build the team and the culture that compounds it_

You make Capalo a place where talented people stay, grow, and bring their friends. Hiring, onboarding, development and the cultural work that quietly determines whether the company is here in ten years.

Don't fit any of these?

We still want to hear from you. Some of our best hires came in through a team description that didn't quite match what they ended up doing. Apply anyway and tell us what you'd bring.

How We Work

• Where: HQ in Helsinki, with team members across Finland, Sweden, Latvia, and Lithuania.
• Working language: English. All meetings, documentation and code reviews run in English.
• Hybrid: Most teams are in-office around three days a week. Specifics vary by team and role.
• Compensation: Competitive base salary plus meaningful equity. We share specifics transparently with candidates in process.
• Interview process: Typically 4 -5 discussions over 2–3 weeks, including a role-specific deep-dive and assignment. We'll lay out the full process before you start.

##### Who Tends to Thrive Here

• People who can hold ambiguity. Energy markets and AI both move fast and don't hand you the answer.
• Bias to ownership. Whatever your title, you'll be expected to spot problems and fix them.
• Genuine curiosity about the energy transition. The work gets harder before it gets easier - caring about the mission helps.

##### How to Apply

The application takes about 5 minutes.

• Pick the team(s) that match your background. You can choose more than one.
• Upload your CV.
• Write a short note on why Capalo and what you'd bring.

We'll keep your profile in our talent community. When a role opens that fits, a member of our team reaches out to start a conversation. We'll also occasionally share what we're working on - only when it's worth your time.

##### Build the Energy System of the Future

The energy transition is the largest infrastructure rebuild of our lifetimes. The companies that get the storage layer right will shape the next 30 years of how electricity actually works.

If that's the kind of work you want to spend your time on, we'd love to hear from you.
