About the company
At VREY, we're building the EnergyOS for multi-family buildings. Germany has over 3.3 million apartment buildings — and they are the blind spot of the energy transition. VREY combines certified meter operation with proprietary software, enabling property owners to sell self-generated solar power directly to their tenants.

- You have strong frontend development skills with solid fundamentals (HTML, CSS and JavaScript), as well as familiarity with the Rails-specific frontend technology (Hotwire, Turbo and Stimulus) and a framework like React or Vue.
