Role overview
About the company
Metrisenergy
SoftwareLondon, United KingdomPre-Seed (VC-backed)
At Metris Energy, we're on a mission to accelerate the energy transition by helping solar owners manage their assets autonomously. Our platform, MetrisOS, powers thousands of commercial solar projects across the UK — delivering real-time data and automating time-consuming tasks like monitoring, fault detection, reporting, and billing.
As an early-stage climate tech company, we’re building the operating system for commercial rooftop solar — an end-to-end SaaS platform that streamlines deployment, management, and profitability for property owners, O&M installers, and investment funds. By reducing operational inefficiencies and enabling data-driven decision-making, Metris Energy is helping turn buildings into power plants and maximize the return on solar.
Join us in building the software infrastructure that makes widespread solar adoption possible.
