Asset manager for energy transition and infrastructure investments
Aquila Capital manages alternative investments focused on renewable energy and infrastructure across seven European countries. The tech stack is entirely Microsoft-centric (Office, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Teams) with recent adoption of GitHub Copilot—a pattern typical of financial services firms modernizing legacy workflows rather than building custom tooling. Active hiring leans heavily toward finance roles (20 open positions), with regulatory compliance and fund automation appearing repeatedly in both projects and pain points, suggesting the firm is scaling operations while navigating complex renewable-energy sector rules.
