Job title: Release Manager (APAC)
Location: Melbourne
Part time available?: Yes
Salary: $115,000 - $135,000 + Superannuation
Team: Engineering
Kaluza reimagines energy to bring net-zero within everyone’s reach. The Kaluza Platform enables energy utilities to unlock the full value of a radically changing energy system and propel us to a future where renewable energy is sustainable, affordable and accessible for all.
From automating and simplifying core operations including billing to create a lower-cost, higher-engagement experience, to optimising energy usage across smart devices in the home, we turn tough challenges into win-win-win outcomes for customers, suppliers and the energy system.
We champion a flexible, hybrid work approach and we find that teams often benefit from coming together in the office at least 2-3 days a week to foster connection and accelerate progress. Outside of these collaborative opportunities, we aim to be as flexible as possible to balance work with life. As a company we come together annually for our conference and end of year celebrations!
Our goal is to build a self-sufficient and empowered team here on the ground in Australia. We’re well on our way, but until we get there we still have some reliances on our UK team. Being comfortable working flexibly for a portion of your working week to cover time zones is required.
What will I be doing?
Kaluza is currently in an exciting growth phase, undergoing the next stage of our technology journey as we support our clients.

The Release Manager will have oversight of release trains, ensuring that all software released to Kaluza’s clients meets the required quality gates, and that all changes can be traced through the pre-production environment stack. The Release Manager is responsible for implementing and improving processes and tools to streamline release processes across production and non-production environments", ultimately contributing to an overall improvement in quality and the reduction of the number of incidents in production.
