About The Position

Zero Homes' mission is to electrify the world’s homes for healthy and sustainable living. Residential electrification is an extraordinary decarbonization opportunity, as 145 million homes in the United States account for 20% of our climate emissions.

Zero Homes is building a new experience for homeowners, contractors, and utilities, bridging the gap between the digital and physical worlds to make electrification fast, easy, and affordable.
