Senior Engineer

Zeti is an award-winning technology company building ZetiOS, a proprietary operating system for hard assets across transportation, energy and construction. ZetiOS combines real-time asset data with the financial contracts that govern how those assets are funded and operated - enabling utilization-based finance, asset-level three-statement modeling and live ESG reporting that static, data-blind platforms simply cannot match. Our mission is to accelerate smarter asset-backed finance, and through it, the energy transition.

We serve four types of organization:

• Institutional lenders and funders - such as Paragon Bank - deploying capital across hire purchase, finance lease, PPAs and pay-per-use structures.
• Asset operators across EV fleets, hydrogen infrastructure and renewable generation who need flexible financing and real-time operational insight.
• Suppliers and manufacturers seeking asset intelligence and embedded finance capabilities.
• Public program administrators - such as CALSTART and the Lighter than Aire consortium - who need to monitor assets in order to perform automated regulatory reporting and to visualize geospatial data.

Alongside ZetiOS, a specialist professional services team connects capital with operators and navigates the complexity of each client's market. Founded in 2020 after incubation at Octopus Investments, Zeti has graduated from the Accenture FinTech Innovation Lab, won the Visa Everywhere Initiative (Europe), and raised capital from Powerhouse, Toyota Ventures and HYCAP. ZetiOS manages approximately £30m of deployed assets, has helped operators avoid over 15,000 tonnes of CO₂, and has a pipeline exceeding £400m across the UK, US and Central Europe. We're now entering a critical next phase of growth, and are looking for a Senior Engineer to lead the delivery of our priority projects.
