A unique career
Joining Blykalla signifies a commitment to forging a future powered entirely by clean energy.
We work toward a future with 100% clean energy. Currently, the world is dependent on carbon-based baseload energy. That is why our goal is to construct and deploy 1 000 SMRs. Together they will produce close to 500 TWh clean electricity annually. If successful, we will avoid 0.5 gigatons of C02 - or 1% of global emissions - every year.
Our lead-cooled fast reactors (LFRs) will be used for electricity, heating, and industrial applications such as production of hydrogen, HVO, syngas, and biochar. By targeting otherwise hard-to-abate sectors we contribute to decarbonization throughout the industrial value chain.
If you're passionate about making a significant impact, we invite you to be a part of this groundbreaking journey.
Our Values
-
Trust through authenticity
We build trust by being vulnerable and admitting our own weaknesses and mistakes, and by asking for help. We assume good intent, are non-political, and only say things about colleagues that we would say to their faces.
-
Another world is possible
We take pride in being able to contribute to the fight against climate change. We are optimists. We believe that there are ways around every obstacle and never give up. We take an owner mindset and solve problems. Once a decision has been made, we commit to it. But when circumstances change, we also dare to revisit a decision.
-
We are kind, but we speak our minds
We also dare to respectfully challenge each others' intuitions and hypotheses. That means we encourage productive conflict and solve issues through open debate. We listen before we speak, carefully and actively.
While we prefer to make decisions based on data, we also realize we sometimes need to make decisions without perfect information.
-
Safety first
In the nuclear business, safety is non-negotiable. We move fast, but we never risk breaking things when it’s about the safety of our products. In order to build safe products, we test them early in a secure environment.
-
There is no “I” in the team
We seek what is best for Blykalla, not for our own. We win and we lose together. We hold each other accountable for group decisions and we celebrate successes, cherish our comradeship, and enjoy the ride.
-
Optimize for impact
Our focus is on delivering something that can be built and that our customers value. While ambitions fuel us, only results measure our journey. We all deeply care about the company's success. We need to be very smart and prudent on how to get there. We need to focus on where we can really shine.
What you get
We are proud to foster an inclusive workplace free from discrimination. We strongly believe that diversity of experience, perspectives, and background will lead to a better environment for our employees and a better product. This is something we value deeply, and we encourage everyone to be a part of making sure we have a safe, scalable, and carbon-free baseload power supply.

About Blykalla
Blykalla AB was founded in 2013 by Janne Wallenius, Peter Szakalos, and Jesper Ejenstam as a spin-off from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, where Janne Wallenius has carried out research on design and safety analysis on lead-cooled reactor systems since 1996.
The research brought together insights from fast reactor design, transient analysis, corrosion and materials science, nuclear fuel development, lead coolant chemistry, radiation damage, severe accident analysis, nuclear construction, and operation of nuclear power plants to create a unique reactor design that provides safe and sustainable baseload energy.
Our lead-cooled fast reactors (LFRs) will be used for electricity, heating, and industrial applications such as production of hydrogen, HVO, syngas, and biochar. By targeting otherwise hard-to-abate sectors we contribute to decarbonization throughout the industrial value chain.
