Working Student: Talent Acquisition (m/f/d)

About Us

At VREY, we are building the EnergyOS for apartment buildings.

There are over 3.3 million apartment buildings in Germany – and they are the black hole of the energy transition.

At the same time, regulation is forcing owners to make massive investments: solar power is becoming mandatory, smart meters must be rolled out nationwide within the next 5 years, and heating and mobility are being electrified. The apartment building is transforming from a concrete asset into an active part of the decentralized energy infrastructure.

What's missing is an integrated system that makes this change economically and operationally manageable.

VREY combines certified metering point operation with its own software, enabling owners for the first time to sell their self-generated solar power directly to their tenants – simply and without becoming an energy provider themselves (§42b EnWG).

This transforms regulatory obligation into a profitable and predictable opportunity:

• Double-digit returns and value appreciation for owners,

• ~20% electricity cost savings for tenants, and

• digital infrastructure for storage, heat pumps, and flexibility.

We already manage a three-digit number of projects – including the largest portfolio holders and housing cooperatives – in all 16 federal states. This makes us one of the leading providers in the market in a very short time.

As part of our seed financing, we raised €3.3 million from leading impact and energy VCs (including Rubio Impact Ventures, HTGF, Kopa Ventures). With the fresh capital, we are entering our next growth phase and are strategically expanding our team.

We are at the beginning of a structural market upheaval. Those who define the energy infrastructure in apartment buildings today will shape it for decades to come. Become part of VREY and build the leading EnergyOS with us.
