Data Analyst at Octopus Energy

Sorry, but this job listing has expired!

Kraken is the technology tentacle of the Octopus Energy Group. 


Our team


All technology is written and maintained by a multi-discipline engineering team of around 500 people globally. Our engineers work in ‘super teams’ which are focused on key areas of our platform as well as other innovative products. This also includes server-side, client-side and mobile engineers working closely with UX experts, copywriters and designers. 

 

Teams are empowered to choose a way of working that works for them, often opting for a Kanban-like approach. Notion and Asana are then used to specify and manage work; Github, CircleCI and Terraform Enterprise as part of an immutable-infrastructure, continuous delivery pipeline; and Datadog, Sentry and Cloudwatch to measure performance and monitor production. 


We’re Charging Kraken to power utilities beyond energy (think water, broadband,..) and have created a new business Kraken Utilities. We are building this team from scratch and are looking for experienced engineers to help us build and scale the team, implement a good culture and work on some really exciting tech challenges. 

 

As an early tech hire into this team you will have a huge opportunity to impact decision making and growing into leadership roles as the business scales.

 

Together with the rest of the team, you will bring the same revolutionary customer experience, operational excellence and speed of innovation that Kraken is powering across energy retailers to other sectors.

 

Some of our coding conventions are open-source

 

Kraken is a great place to learn, work with some talented engineers and level-up your skills.  

 

Our technology


On the server-side, we mainly use Python. Most of our websites are powered by Django, Django-REST-framework and GraphQL (Graphene).  

 

We use AWS heavily  as part of a continuous deployment pipeline. See, for example, Django, ELB health checks and continuous delivery. 

 

Client-side, we use React, htmx and SASS; our mobile apps are built using native code or React Native.
