Software Engineer, Quality Assurance

About Flo Energy

Hi, we are Flo! We are on a mission to switch as many people and businesses as possible to affordable, renewable solutions.

We began in a small shophouse in Singapore and have grown rapidly ever since, expanding into Australia with even bigger plans ahead.

Unlike other retailers, we have built our own best-in-class energy platform entirely in-house. Designed specifically for the sector, it automates complex processes and keeps costs down, letting us offer genuinely affordable products to our customers.

Behind Flo is a diverse team of passionate engineers, data scientists, operators, and energy experts. We come from different backgrounds, but we are united by the shared goal of creating a more sustainable future. If you want to make an impact and help accelerate the renewable energy transition, we would love to meet you.
