CO2 emissions in the real estate sector must be reduced quickly. But what is not measured cannot be controlled in a targeted manner: Our live data on consumption and generation in properties enables the most effective use of electricity, gas, heat and water in everyday life.
 
The software platform we develop is used exclusively in-house at metiundo.
We use it to automatically collect, process, and distribute measurements from electricity, gas,
heat, and water meters as well as to configure smart meter setups.
 
We are a young Berlin start-up that supports sustainability and also lives it in our day-to-day business. To support our team we are looking for a Senior Software Developer in Berlin or Heidelberg at the earliest possible date.

  • You ensure that goals and milestones are met while balancing long term and short-term priorities and managing technical debt.
