Otovo is a venture backed startup intent on simplifying the transition from energy-draining, stupid individual homes to solar powered, smarter and interacting communities. We build software that helps people decide on going solar and we run a network of installers that make it happen in the real world. In addition we connect the solar powered homes with the grid and operate a power company that sells clean and local power. We will add capabilities and products as we move forward. We were founded in 2016 and recently completed our series A funding (€6m). We have launched products, attracted customers and have a pretty steep revenue curve. Otovo will be taking risks, which also means there is ample opportunity to be part of the fun and influence outcomes substantially. It’s cool to get in early.

About us

We value curiosity and experimentation. At Otovo we make decisions fast and we act early, learn quickly and keep moving. We allow for flexibility in work hours and workstyle even as we work hard and work a lot. Our work environment is open minded and inclusive. Our people are intent on creating results, so we love when people do stuff rather than talk about it or plan forever. We celebrate completing things, not starting them.

Otovistas are positive and love a (sometimes tequila-infused) party. We’ve gathered a bunch of really smart people with cool and diverse competencies as we employ developers/programmers; project managers and technical experts; and sales consultants. We understand you have a life to live outside of work. We’re family friendly. We awill be prioritizing diversity in our hiring.
