Help us use technology to make a big green dent in the universe!

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.

What we do: build the most AI-driven, innovative, forward-thinking platform for energy management. From optimising resources to delivering cost-effective, exceptional customer experiences through advanced Customer Information Systems (CIS), billing, meter data management, CRM, and AI-driven communications, Kraken is powering the next wave of innovation in the energy industry.

Why we do it: future energy will not look like energy as we know it today. We need to not just think about our future, but build for it. Now.

Energy is changing.

For years, it was an industry dominated by large suppliers using outdated systems that put profits first and customers last. Now, we’re using the latest technology and green generation to transform energy for customers, bringing the UK cheaper, greener, and fairer energy.

We enjoy the best of both worlds: backing from a £6bn business of highly experienced and talented individuals, and the dynamic environment of a start-up.

On the retail side, Octopus Energy is a Which? Recommended energy supplier, six years in a row (they’ve never given it to another supplier more than twice), and uSwitch’s Supplier of the Year three of the past five years.

On the SaaS side, Kraken is licensed to businesses globally, including EDF Energy, Good Energy, E.ON Energy, and Origin Energy – to support 24 million customers worldwide.

You’ll be working for a company that’s fighting climate change. We’re one of Europe’s largest investors in renewable energy, and we’re making it easy for people to use greener technology and power to move the UK towards a low-carbon future.

And for big change, we need big minds.
