There’s no vacancies board here. When we find engineers whose work we admire, we reach out directly. So if you’ve had a message from FLOAT, it’s because we saw something specific and meant it.
You’re probably wondering what working here would actually be like. This page is the answer.
Our six values are borrowed (proudly but knowing it’s cheesy) from the best-run workplace on television: AFC Richmond, of Ted Lasso. And we take the show’s honest lesson with them: kindness alone got Richmond relegated. Belief without standards loses football matches, so our culture is both. Warmth and standards.
Nobody believed in Richmond either. Hydrogen and decarbonisation is the future one day and trash the next. We think it’s the lack of hope that kills you but we have it in abundance! That hope drives our belief in the climate mission and in each other, and we keep turning up when it’s tough.
Questions before verdicts: in code review, in strange market data, in hiring. Every anomaly is information. So is every person.
Decarbonisation is hard. Startups are hard. There will be downs. So: learn the lessons, forget the feelings. A ten-second memory for setbacks, a permanent playbook for what they taught us. Onward. Forward.
Roles here are wide, not narrow. Everyone carries real responsibility across the pitch, with the shared context to use it. And when something’s in the way, we play through the blockers: the ball moves through people, not to them.
We’re remote-first, so team is a conscious act. We show up for each other on purpose. Needing help is normal here, and so is giving it. We understand life is complex and personal responsibilities extend beyond work.
We work in a safety-conscious industry, and our software makes money-at-risk decisions in live markets. Everyone here is empowered (expected) to speak up about a risk, a number or a model. Honesty beats comfort.
FLOAT builds real-time optimisation for green hydrogen. Our software decides, in real-time, how a hydrogen plant should run and trades its electricity in the UK power markets. We are cutting production costs and keeping every kilogram compliant.
We’re at the founding-team stage: the product works, pilots with UK hydrogen producers are underway, and the next few engineers will shape the systems, the codebase and the culture permanently. You wouldn’t be joining a team. You’d be founding one.
And the deal is explicit. Everyone who joins FLOAT should become dramatically better at their craft AND literate in new ones. Hydrogen. Power markets. Software. AI. Climate and AI are disrupting existing companies. Join us to build a new one.
Maybe we’re already drafting your message. Or maybe we missed you — it happens, and we’re curious, not judgmental. Tell us what you’ve built.
