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.
At Kraken we've developed a data platform that is used by Octopus Energy and our other clients retail energy businesses around the world.
The platform empowers users with self-service data analytics and automates our data processing workflows, from simple ETL jobs to ML training and prediction.
The data platform team works across the whole customer domain on anything from natural language understanding of our customer communications to processing billions of smart meter readings every day to support clients in creating customised and market leading smart energy tariffs.
As the volume, scope and geographical range of our data offerings rapidly expand, we're looking for an experienced data engineer to join the team to help us build and maintain our platform, pipelines and data sources.
We're passionate about building great technology to change the way customers use, and think about, energy for the good of the planet. This is a fantastic opportunity to work with us on data problems that genuinely move us closer to Net Zero, and support the energy transition.

- Build and maintain testing and documentation frameworks for our data sources.
- Work with the business to scope and deliver new data engineering projects and requirements.
- Maintain and build on our existing data infrastructure and tools.
- Support the internationalisation of our data infrastructure as we continue to grow globally.
What you'll have
- Python, SQL, Spark
- Experience in assuring data quality
- Experience deploying data services in a cloud environment (ideally AWS)
- Experience with APIs designed for high volume traffic serving data to customers or business critical applications.
- Experience with relational databases (Postgres/Aurora)
- The projects will be varied and we're looking for someone who can work autonomously and proactively to scope problems and solve and deliver pragmatic solutions.
