We're on a mission to make a big green dent in the universe by building a truly sustainable energy system globally.

That means making power greener, smarter, and more affordable for everyone.

We put customers at the heart of everything we do: with always-fair prices, transparency and outrageous customer service.

We drive system change: with transformative tech to make renewable energy the norm and end global reliance on fossil fuels.

Octopus Energy Group is made up of 10 businesses spanning 6 countries across 3 continents, including: Octopus Energy Retail, Kraken Technologies, Octopus Energy Generation, Kraken Flex, Octopus Electric Vehicles, and the Octopus Centre for Net Zero. More on OEG @ octopusenergy.group

Octopus Energy Group has gone from a tiny startup supplier to a global leader. Since just 2016 we've become a global energy tech company launched in the UK and we're now made of 10 businesses, in 13 countries around the world, with over 5 million customers, with 25 million contracted accounts for our entech platform, Kraken. Through that relentless growth we still put customers at the heart of everything we do.

That's how we've got five stars on TrustPilot based on over 100,000 customer reviews and why consumer champions “Which?” have named us a Recommended Provider for the last five years in a row. We've also reached 4.8 on our Italian Trustpilot.

We're fighting to make energy fairer, more affordable, greener and more accessible for all.

Jump to all roles we're hiring for in italy.

We're shaking up the energy market and decarbonising our planet, using technology to unlock the green energy revolution. Our global energy revolution is backed by Generation, the sustainable fund co-chaired by Al Gore.

Octopus Energy Italia is looking to revolutionise the Italian energy sector.

To do this we need to grow with passionate people to help us do this, we have diverse roles ready to be filled across our Italian teams and need authentic, committed people for a wide range of roles.

We're in a start-up phase which means that you will be able to shape the future of energy in Italy from day one.

We are looking for a Data Engineer whose primary focus will be helping to ensure that projects around different teams are supported with tooling and applications that fit their needs, as well as building our modern data stack. On one side, we want to ingest the latest data, and build robust, well-tested pipelines that give us confidence in our data modelling. On the other hand, the candidate will be expected to leverage the use of APIs, periodic tasks scheduling, web crawling scripts and AWS tools to automate manual processes and scale operations.

Experience working in energy is beneficial, but not necessary. Experience owning the technical infrastructure at smaller organisations, such as startups is highly beneficial; you should outline this experience in your application.

Build and maintain testing and documentation frameworks for our data sources

Coordinate with software developpers to secure good integration with existing infrastructure and tools

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 need

First and foremost, we want our data engineers to be great software engineers with a passion for writing high quality code

Python

Web scraping and crawling libraries

SQL

Spark

Experience modelling data for analytics - ideally experience using dbt as a modelling tool

Experience in assuring data quality

Experience deploying data services in a cloud environment (ideally AWS)

Our Data Stack

Kubernetes for data services and task orchestration

Airflow purely for job scheduling and tracking

Circle CI for continuous deployment

Parquet and Delta file formats on S3 for data lake storage
