Eight promises, zero fine print
Here's exactly what you can expect when you join us.
People who actually give a damn
The energy at epilot comes from people who care — about the mission, about the product, and about each other. You won't find passengers here. What you will find are driven, talented colleagues who bring their whole selves to work and genuinely want to see you succeed alongside them. Summer fests, carnival celebrations, workation trips abroad — we work hard and celebrate properly.
Remote-first by design, not by exception
Remote-first is the default at epilot — not a perk, not a policy exception, not something you have to negotiate. Whether you work from home, a café, or a co-working space in Lisbon on our next workation, you're a full citizen of this team. If you want a desk in our Cologne HQ, it's there. If you don't, that's completely fine too. You own your schedule. However, GTM and customer-facing roles that depend on being close to the market require some onsite presence - that's part of the job, not a workaround of the promise.
Your work ends up in someone's home
A solar panel on a rooftop in Munich. An EV charger in a garage in Vienna. A heat pump replacing a gas boiler in Berlin. These are the real endpoints of what we build at epilot. Our vision is to make purchasing energy products as easy as buying a pair of shoes online — and we're getting there. Whatever your role, you're part of that chain. That's not a metaphor.
A tech stack worth talking about
Our product squads work with modern web and cloud technologies — React, Svelte, Python, TypeScript, serverless AWS — in an agile environment that values shipping over debating. No legacy baggage, no death-by-committee. Curious what's under the hood? Explore our tech stack, our engineering principles, and our dev.to blog.
28+ nationalities, one working language
Our team spans four continents and more than 28 nationalities — and that's not a diversity statistic we're proud of once a year, it's just what Tuesday looks like at epilot. English is our working language, which means wherever you're from, you can show up fully. German is useful for some customer-facing roles, but it's never a barrier to joining or growing here.
No black boxes — not even the financials
At epilot, management decisions and company financials are shared openly. Not in a sanitized summary — openly. Through quarterly kick-offs, company breakfasts, and a culture of direct feedback from day one, everyone knows where we stand, what's working, and what isn't. Flat hierarchies aren't a talking point here — they're how decisions actually get made.
AI-first, not AI-curious
We don't treat AI as a future roadmap item — it's how we work today. Across every team, from engineering to people operations, we use AI tools to move faster, automate the repetitive, and free up human judgment for the work that actually matters. You'll be encouraged to experiment and build with AI from day one — not wait for a policy that permits it.
Built to grow with you
epilot has around 120 people across four continents, and is growing. That means you're early enough to shape how things are built — and funded enough that we're not making it up as we go. Things you do now will still be visible in this company years from now. We share our financials openly, so you can always see the runway for yourself.
