As a Software Engineer, you'll be part of a multi-discipline engineering team of around 400 people globally, working in 'super teams' focused on key areas of the platform and other innovative products. You'll tackle challenging technical problems, like processing tens of millions of meter readings a day, and contribute to domain modelling in the complex UK utilities market.

The tech stack primarily includes Python, Django, AWS, and various other technologies. You'll work in an empowered team environment, often using a Kanban-like approach, with tools like Notion, Asana, Github, CircleCI, and Terraform Enterprise.

• Solving difficult design challenges in the complicated UK utilities market
• Handling large-scale data processing and machine learning pipelines
• Adapting Kraken to improve other utilities like water and broadband
• Contributing to the company's mission of fighting climate change

The ideal candidate should have experience with Python, Django (or equivalent web framework), domain modelling, HTTP and REST APIs, writing robust and fault-tolerant software, Celery and async processing, and Postgres. Experience with AWS, Terraform, Packer, and Consul would be a bonus.

Octopus Energy Group offers a unique culture where people learn, decide, and build quickly, with autonomy and alongside talented co-workers. They were voted the best company to work for in 2022 and offer various perks and benefits.

This is a hybrid position based in London, UK, though remote candidates within the UK will be considered. The company is committed to equal opportunities and welcomes applications from all backgrounds.
