A quarter of all energy in the world is consumed to heat buildings. District heating is the most significant opportunity for cities to decarbonise. Gradyent is on a mission to help cities to decarbonise faster by digitising district heating with our digital twin. Backed by a group of top investors, we are scaling the platform globally.
We currently have a team of 120+ people and offices in Rotterdam (the Netherlands), Germany, Poland, and Hungary. Our team combines programmers and energy specialists, data scientists and top-tier consulting alums. We are expanding quickly and looking for an Integration Engineer to work with our clients and integrate their data into our product offerings.
We offer a SaaS solution to create digital twins of heating networks. These digital twins, powered by AI and analytics, optimise (district) heating networks from heat sources to customers. As a result, we are transforming networks by reducing CO2 emissions and optimising operations in terms of temperatures, pressures, costs and other metrics.
Gradyent has developed from a start-up to a scale-up: we are active in more than 6 countries in Europe (including the Netherlands, Germany, Finland, and Poland) and are working on further expansion.
