Team Lead Software Development | Fleet & Services (m/f/x)

Who we are

At Reverion, we’re on a mission to enable a decentralized, flexible, and carbon-negative energy system. And that’s what drives us every day.

We are developing innovative, reversible power plants that can efficiently convert gases such as biogas or hydrogen into electricity and heat. When needed, the process can be reversed to transform renewable energy into storable green gases. With an efficiency of up to 80%, Reverion power plants are among the most efficient in the world.
