Octopus Energy Engineering ️ – Mobile /

Full-time /

Hybrid

Octopus Energy Engineering is responsible for the mobile app that connects over three million monthly active customers across eight countries to the energy solutions that shape their daily lives. From seamless onboarding and smart control of cutting-edge Octopus Energy hardware, to loyalty schemes and demand flexibility, our work is at the heart of the clean energy revolution.

We’re growing fast to meet the demands of a global business with a single app, and we’re looking for passionate engineers who want to build technology that makes a real impact. If you want to shape the future of energy tech, solve complex problems, and build products that genuinely help people, we’d love to hear from you.

Our Team

We relaunched the Octopus Energy app with a small team of 4 engineers, product, and design in 2021. Since then we’ve grown to multiple cross-functional teams and over 20 mobile engineers.

We’re expanding to meet the challenges of rolling out a single platform which supports diverse utility markets around the world. Every team member helps define culture and processes necessary to work collaboratively and effectively across multiple product teams, whilst instilling good engineering practices for the team as a whole.

Our Technology

As an organisation we like to move quickly. This is true both in how we operate as a business and the technology choices we make. We were very early adopters of Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and used the technology when it was in pre-alpha, at scale, to great success. It helps us share code across Android and iOS without the user experience tradeoffs.

KMP was officially released in late 2023 so we don’t expect our applicants to have experience using it. It powers the extensive shared layer across our Android and iOS apps, with UI powered by Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI. Our app is built around offline-first reactive patterns and utilises unidirectional data flow with a layered architecture. Our view models are written using Jetpack Compose and compliment our state driven UI.

We release updates to customers weekly. We gain release confidence with our suite of automation and unit tests running in CI (GitHub Actions), and configure features remotely using feature flags.

We embrace flat hierarchies and an open, agile culture that fosters innovation, flexibility, and creativity.

We don’t hang our personalities up with our coats and nor should you. At Octopus, we hire great people who get stuff done, all whilst being themselves.

About You...

We’re looking to hire someone with 4+ years of experience with Kotlin.
You’ll be someone who appreciates the impact a nimble team can make on customers and clean energy.
Your passion for clean energy and sustainability will help provide context on your everyday work.
You will thrive with us if you can effectively communicate with coworkers in different timezones.
You’ll enjoy contributing across the whole development process including design and product.
Finally, you’re interested in staying on top of upcoming technologies that could benefit our team.

We would prefer someone who can work in our London office but will consider remote candidates. However, you do need to be able to work in the UK.

We're very excited to be growing our team. We're looking for skills and experience to help shape and define the future of not only our team, but the wider business at a global scale. If you're reading this and grinning, please apply! There are huge challenges to tackle, and we need amazing people who are keen to get stuck in.
