AI Senior Software Engineer
Deine Mission
About Wallround
Wallround is headquartered in Berlin, with additional locations in Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main, Munich, Friedrichshafen and NRW.
Our mission: we turn energy-efficient retrofits for multi-family residential buildings into predictable, lucrative investment opportunities. When it comes to modernisations, the real estate market is often a black box of rough estimates and fragmented processes. We are changing that. Through our integrated platform and streamlined workflow, we transform 'brown assets' into future-proof, high-yield properties.
