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

Kraken powers some of the most innovative global developments in energy. KrakenFlex is 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. KrakenFlex is positioned to be at the heart of the energy transition. The aim is to enable customers to release £30bn of value per annum from distributed energy resources (DERs) through a Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription model with a global addressable market of £2.4 billion per year, by digitally connecting hundreds of thousands of DERs with energy markets. KrakenFlex is a recognised thought leader and innovator in the industry.

• We have lots of difficult design challenges to solve. The UK utilities market is complicated, outdated and process-heavy — there is a lot of domain modelling to get right. Strong attention to detail is essential.
• We have challenging technical problems to solve; like processing tens of millions of meter readings a day. We need the right technology in place to handle this smoothly, and to feed data into a machine learning pipeline that models and predicts consumption. We may also adapt Kraken for other utilities such as water and broadband.
• There's a great opportunity for disruption in the UK energy market. The big suppliers still dominate, but are not exactly popular. The energy landscape is changing as we move to more dis-aggregated forms of generation, with less predictability, more dynamism and smarter technology.

• We're looking for someone with a general interest in technology and problem-solving; someone diligent and thoughtful. It would be helpful to have experience/expertise in the following (in rough priority order):
• Python
• Django (or equiv. web framework)
• Domain modelling
• HTTP and REST APIs
• Writing robust and fault-tolerant software
• Celery and async processing
• Postgres

Plus experience in the following would be a bonus:

• AWS
• Terraform, Packer, Consul

• Wondering what the salary for this role is? Just ask us! On a call with one of our recruiters it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary. The reason we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Kraken — what's more important to us is finding the right Kraken-fit.
• Kraken has a unique culture. An organisation where people learn, decide, and build quicker. Where people work with autonomy, alongside a wide range of amazing co-owners, on projects that break new ground. We want your hard work to be rewarded with perks you actually care about!
