Overview

Kraken powers some of the most innovative global developments in energy.

We’re a technology company focused on creating a smart sustainable energy system. From optimising renewable generation, creating a more intelligent grid, and enabling utilities to provide excellent customer experiences, our operating system for energy is transforming the industry around the world in a way that benefits everyone.

It’s a really exciting time in energy. Help us make a real impact on shaping a better, more sustainable future.

Our Kraken 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 domains 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.

Some of our coding conventions are open‑source.

Kraken is a great place to learn, work with talented engineers and have a lot of fun.
