Energy consumption app and solar installation platform for French homeowners
Hello Watt pairs a consumer app (2M+ downloads) with field installation services for solar, heat pumps, and EV chargers. The stack is classical Python/Django/Redis backend on AWS with Flask/FastAPI microservices, plus heavy reliance on Data Studio and SQL for consumption tracking—a lean, data-first architecture suited to the energy transition use case. Hiring velocity is decelerating while internship intake remains high (21 of 49 open roles), suggesting a shift from pure growth mode toward operational efficiency and margin improvement.

Hello Watt helps French households reduce energy bills and decarbonize their homes through two integrated channels: a mobile and web app that measures and optimizes consumption, and a direct installation service deploying solar panels, batteries, heat pumps, and EV charging stations. The app now tracks 2M+ users across France. The company also operates installation operations and is expanding geographically into Spain and broader Europe. Founded in 2017, Hello Watt is self-owned with 201–500 employees based in Paris.
Python, Django, Flask, FastAPI, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB, AWS (Elastic Beanstalk, RDS), GitLab CI/CD, Data Studio, and SQL form the core. Frontend and marketing ops use Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Hootsuite, Canva, and Photoshop.
Hello Watt has 49 active roles, with recent posts in France and Spain. Top hiring: sales (15 open), marketing (12), product (6). Most roles target interns and mid-level candidates; velocity is decelerating.
Current priorities include energy flexibility features, solar panel installation expansion, international scaling, SEO and tracking optimization, sales automation, and integration with solar equipment manufacturers.
