Do you want to use your outstanding engineering skills for a project with purpose? At Bees \& Bears, we're looking for engineers who want to make an impact. Not just on our software, but on the planet.
If you're interested in building something great, and helping to define our engineering culture and standards, then keep reading!
At Bees \& Bears, we’re a Climate FinTech on a mission to unlock capital for the energy transition. We believe finance is the key to accelerating the shift toward a sustainable future. The challenge ahead is massive: by 2050, the world needs to invest €150 trillion (!) to reach climate neutrality. 65% of this investment will need to be financed through loans.
Our mission is to channel capital into the sustainable economy — to accelerate the transition and make the world greener.
What we do:
We work closely with installers of climate hardware such as solar systems, energy storage, and heat pumps — enabling their customers to finance installations easily through monthly installments. Our platform provides the technical and financial foundation to make this happen. In doing so, we’re actively accelerating the energy transition — for households, for our partners, and for the planet.
We’ve recently secured €500 million in funding commitments to green 25,000 households over the next two years. Prior to that, we raised two funding rounds backed by several renowned VCs — and we’ve been growing rapidly ever since.
We are looking for a highly ambitious individual to join the cockpit of Bees \& Bears as a
