## Job description

You'll help build Furo from the ground up — across product, operations, and growth.

- Shape and scale the company alongside the founders
- Drive projects in sales, marketing, and operations
- Build systems and processes that keep us moving fast

## YOU WILL HAVE FUN IF YOU ARE

Founder at heart

- High ownership: You take full responsibility for your projects
- Hustler mentality: You get things done fast, even when there’s no playbook
- Generalist mindset: You jump between strategy, sales, and operations with ease

Hands-on operator

- You love making things work from talking to customers to fixing a process
- You thrive on learning fast and improving daily
- You enjoy traveling to customer sites and understanding problems on the ground

Builder of organizations

- You help shape the company culture and recruiting processes
- You design scalable internal systems and workflows
- You want to experience what it’s like to build a company from zero

## YOU WON’T HAVE FUN IF YOU

- Want a predefined role: We wear three hats at a time (and you will too)
- Expect top-down instructions: We trust you to figure it out
- Prefer a typical 9–5: We move fast and take full ownership
- Don’t enjoy being close to customers, partners and investors: We visit sites across Germany (and sometimes the US)

## QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience in a fast-paced environment (top-tier consulting, investment banking, or hypergrowth startup)
- Proven ability to own projects end-to-end and make decisions independently
- Exceptional problem-solving and communication skills
- Curiosity for the energy transition and climate tech space
- Fluent in German (at least C1)

Don’t worry if you haven’t worked in energy before. What matters most is your drive, ownership, and willingness to learn fast.

## PERKS

- Super small team, super early → you're not only part of our culture, you will shape it
- Responsibility from day one → the best idea wins, regardless of who it comes from
- All the tools you need → Claude, n8n or any other AI subscriptions, whatever helps you build faster
- Direct customer access → build what matters, see impact immediately
- Munich-based → work alongside founders solving hard problems together
- €70-100K salary + equity

## About Furo

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Furo provides a hardware‑agnostic AI software platform that plans, operates, and commercialises industrial battery storage systems from a single interface.
- **Entity Type**: Private (startup; formerly Lumera Energy)
- **Headquarters**: Munich, Germany
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Simon Wittner, Leonie Wagner, Lena Sophia Voss

## Core Business
Furo is an energy software company focused on the commercial and industrial (C&I) battery storage segment. The platform covers the entire lifecycle of a storage system – from sizing and profitability simulation (virtual battery/digital twin) through real‑time optimisation and automated energy trading.  
- **Primary industry**: Energy software / Battery storage / Cleantech  
- **Target customers**: B2B – project developers, installers, energy suppliers, municipal utilities, and industrial operators  
- **Mission**: Turn energy volatility into a competitive advantage for European industry by making every battery storage system operate at maximum economic potential.

## Products & Services
- **Design Software**: Sizes the optimal storage configuration and calculates profitability in minutes using load profiles and location data. Generates customer‑ready documents.
- **Virtual Battery & EMS (Energy Management System)**: A digital twin of the storage project that simulates expected revenues before installation and seamlessly transitions to live operation after commissioning.
- **Flexibility Marketing**: Automatically detects unused capacity and markets it on wholesale energy markets (spot market arbitrage, atypical grid usage, dynamic tariffs) – even for systems below 1 MW.
- **Multi‑Use Optimisation**: Combines self‑consumption maximisation, peak shaving, spot trading, and grid services in a continuously learning AI that adapts to weather, prices, and consumption patterns.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Funding**: Not publicly disclosed (private startup with paying customers).
- **Key Metric**: Over 3,500 industrial sites are already being planned or optimised on the platform; ~100 paying customers and >600 companies registered.
- **Notable Partners**: Enpal, Sonnen (Shell), Fenecon, BayWa, Segen, IBC Solar, badenova.
- **Growth Signals**: Launched the first complete operational solution combining planning and real‑time operation (May 2026). Active in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Spain. Claims to reduce payback periods from 15 years to 5 years and increase economic potential by up to 40%.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Hardware‑agnostic**: Compatible with all common battery technologies – vendor lock‑in avoided.
- **First to unify planning and real‑time operation**: No other system on the market combines sizing, forecasting, multi‑use optimisation, and automated trading in one platform for C&I storage from 150 kW.
- **AI‑driven forecasting & learning**: Uses price, weather, and consumption predictions that continuously improve – replaces static, rule‑based controls.
- **Virtual Battery**: Enables operators to model revenue before any hardware is installed, reducing investment risk.

## Strategic Focus
- Become the central energy flexibility platform for European industry by coordinating all stakeholders (OEMs, project developers, industrial customers, utilities) on one system.
- Expand geographic presence beyond DACH and Spain into additional European markets.
- Continue product development to serve both small industrial sites (≥100 kW behind‑the‑meter) and larger facilities (>3 MW).

## Why Work Here
- **Mission‑driven team**: Founded by engineers and consultants from Apple, Google X, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and BCG who returned to Europe to tackle the energy transition.
- **High growth trajectory**: Young company (founded 2025) already with hundreds of customers and rapid product expansion – opportunity to shape the future of industrial energy.
- **Cutting‑edge tech stack**: AI, digital twins, real‑time optimisation, and energy trading – work on a platform that directly impacts carbon reduction and industrial competitiveness.
- **Collaborative culture**: Small, focused team with backgrounds in top tech and consulting firms; offices in Munich (remote/hybrid policy not specified – check careers page for current openings).
