About Company
Bamboo Energy is a cleantech startup based in Barcelona, founded five years ago. We provide a cloud-based SaaS platform that helps optimize energy consumption, enabling users to reduce electricity costs and generate additional revenue, while supporting the integration of renewable energy into the grid. We are a young, fast-growing company using deep tech and data to accelerate the energy transition. Our tech team is responsible for developing the scalable cloud solution. We leverage software engineering best practices to offer reliable services to our clients. We hold software design sessions, we pair-program, and code is peer-reviewed and tested with continuous integration.
