Job description

About Octopus Electroverse

We’re making electric vehicle ownership as smart and as simple as possible, by building the giant, virtual charging platform of the future.

In just three years, Octopus Electroverse has grown to become one of the largest eMobility players globally, with over 1,400,000 connected electric vehicle chargers and a customer ecosystem spanning web, iOS, Android, CarPlay, Android Auto & Automotive OS, and more.

But it’s just the start: we’re busy expanding internationally, working with more automotive and tech partners, building exciting new features at scale, and creating the integrated charging experiences of the future - all in the name of making public EV charging super simple for customers.

Electroverse is a multifunctional team made up of product, development, commercial, operations, marketing, partnerships teams, and more - all focused together on making Octopus the go‑to name in EV charging. And we’re looking for smart individuals with an interest in the space who can help us make it happen.

We’re looking for someone who’s passionate about code, curious, and eager to learn. You’ll be working alongside the backend team that provides services for our Electroverse ecosystem in the electric vehicle and electrification space with focus on helping develop the core experience for our B2C users. You’ll help us develop exciting new features that make our users’ lives easier, and facilitate our Mobile and Web teams to build the slickest experience possible. You’ll be able to build quickly and iteratively, enabling us to build on and expand the features that really matter to our users.

Our project is establishing itself as the leading e‑mobility provider solution within the industry and we want to take it to the next level. This means we're working on big features which will give you the chance to have a huge impact and, given our ambitions in the electrification space, influence how the back‑end scales to meet new challenges and create a wider ecosystem.

Overall, you'll work with a small, high‑energy project team to bring the product to life - an exciting opportunity to work within an already established but still rapidly scaling EnTech business.

What you’ll do

• Help us build new front‑end features and leverage user data to build a smooth experience.
• Enable us to build quickly but robustly, using feature flagging and A/B testing.
• Bring a product mindset to an engineering role, focusing on what matters most to the end user.
• Work as part of a larger cross‑functional team to deliver best quality product for our clients.

What you'll have

• The passion to create something amazing, and the mindset to learn and grow with the company.
• Experience building for front‑end - REST APIs, GraphQL etc. - or a willingness to learn.
• Experience with monitoring and debugging applications and infrastructure.
• Ability to discuss vision and features within a team and propose creative solutions.
• Experience working within a cross‑functional team and communicating across the whole software stack.

  Benefits

  • Flexible salary discussion based on experience.
  • Unique culture encouraging autonomy, rapid decision making, and building projects that break new ground.
  • Recognition on UK employer awards and leadership rankings.
  • Employee benefits hub.
