About the company

Epyr builds thermal energy storage systems that turn low-cost renewable electricity into high-temperature industrial heat. The company positions the product as “plug and play” for industrial sites, aiming to replace fossil-fuel heat with on-demand clean heat. Public updates show Epyr is moving from early development into first deployments with industrial partners. Epyr raised a €3M pre-seed round to fund early commercial rollout.

Locations and presence

Epyr is headquartered in Paris, with roles advertised as Paris-based. Commercial work is framed around France and wider Europe, reflecting long-cycle industrial sales and on-site deployment partnerships.

Palpable Score

53.0

/ 100

Epyr offers one clear early-career entry point through a structured, conversion-oriented internship that sits close to founders and commercial leadership. Beyond that, most visible hiring is senior, and Epyr shares very little about pay ranges, benefits, or early-career progression outcomes, which limits confidence for graduates comparing options.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company lists a Business Analyst role as a 6-month internship and explicitly frames it as a high-ownership early-career seat rather than admin support.
Epyr states the Business Analyst internship can convert into a permanent contract (CDI), which is a meaningful entry-level pathway when it happens.
The company’s other advertised role on the careers page is a Sales Manager position requiring 4+ years’ experience, so entry-level access looks occasional rather than recurring.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.0

/ 20

The company provides unusually concrete responsibilities for the Business Analyst internship, including lead qualification, account mapping, and maintaining deal-tracking tools used by leadership.
Epyr’s Sales Manager description is candid about long sales cycles (12–24 months) and multi-stakeholder complexity, which helps candidates self-select realistically.
The company does not publish interview stages, decision timelines, or assessment formats on the role pages, so applicants cannot judge process load upfront.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

14.0

/ 20

The company promises “real ownership” and progressive autonomy over customer interactions for the Business Analyst internship, which is a strong learning design for early-career hires.
Epyr explicitly offers direct collaboration with senior leadership and exposure to real sales negotiations and industrial decision processes during the internship.
The company does not publish a visible onboarding plan, mentoring structure, or feedback cadence (for example a 30-60-90 ramp), so support relies on role context more than stated manager practice.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

9.0

/ 20

The company does not publish salary ranges for the roles shown on the careers page, limiting pay transparency for early-career candidates.
Epyr frames the Business Analyst role as an internship with potential CDI conversion, but the public listing does not clearly state pay or standard benefits.
The company’s public careers materials do not spell out stability signals such as equity basics for juniors, healthcare, pension, or leave policies.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

8.0

/ 20

The company shares momentum outcomes like an announced deployment project with WEPA in Troyes, but this does not translate into published early-career progression data.
Epyr reports a €3M pre-seed raise, which supports hiring stability in the near term, but retention and promotion outcomes are not shared publicly.
The company’s LinkedIn presence shows a small team and ongoing hiring, yet public evidence of junior promotions or 12–24 month retention patterns is missing.
