Careers
Own a whole layer of
Europe's energy machine.
Most engineers spend a career on one slice — a cell, a converter, a trading model — of a system someone else designed, from parts made abroad. WLF builds the whole machine, cell chemistry to grid trading, under one roof in Europe. Come own a layer of it.
Culture
What it's like
to work here.
We're small and early — which is the point. Real scope, fast calls, and work that ships to the grid instead of a slide.
Own the layer, not the ticket
You take a layer end to end — design it, build it, run it. No one hands you a boundary and a backlog.
Live, or it doesn't count
We measure work by what runs on the grid, not what clears review. Your decisions dispatch real megawatts.
A conversation from the call
Small, flat, fast. You're one conversation from the decision that matters — not three layers down a chart.
European on purpose
Designed, built and run in Europe. You're building the answer to renting the grid's brain from abroad.
The short version
Small team.
Whole machine.
We're not adding a slice to someone else's stack. We're building the whole machine — cell chemistry to grid trading, in Europe — and we hire the people who want to own a piece of it outright.
If you've spent years polishing one corner of a system you'll never watch run, this is the opposite of that. Fewer meetings, shorter chains, and the thing you build actually dispatching power. Here's what that trades away — and what you get instead.
“Let’s align on the roadmap.”
Decide, build, and learn by Friday.
“Hand it to the next team.”
You own it from schematic to the grid.
“We’ll circle back on that.”
The person who can say yes is in the room.
“Source it from abroad.”
Built where it runs — Europe, on purpose.
