About the company:

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

We believe energy should be better - for you and the environment.

We’re a leading energy technology (EnTech) company, providing a better experience for our customers through transparency, honesty and simplicity. Better for the planet, through real long-term investment in renewable generation and a low CO2 future. We make energy green and flexible for consumers, with fair and transparent pricing.

We're on a mission to make energy greener, fairer, and genuinely better for people. Our global energy revolution is backed by Generation, the sustainable fund co-chaired by Al Gore. To succeed with this mission, we need excellent technical people who want to use their skills on the biggest challenge the planet is facing.

Octopus Energy Engineering is responsible for the sites, services, and tariffs that are used by the millions of Octopus Energy customers worldwide. From building the latest, cutting-edge time-of-use tariffs, to helping customers actually enjoy tasks like providing meter readings through our wheel of fortune - and everything in between.

You’ll find a wide variety of challenges in the work we do as we help push the energy revolution forward. Our teams are multi-disciplined and collaborate between countries, meaning you have what you need to get the right people together and build the next great thing.

Octopus Energy is growing rapidly, and the Octopus Energy Engineering team is at the forefront of this expansion.

We are looking for a Frontend Developer who will work closely with Octopus Energy UK and various teams, focusing on the development and integration of new features for the website and mobile app.

The role involves working on different modules, including the private area, bill management, contributing to customer onboarding optimization and the implementation of marketing projects through dashboards and the personal area.

The team is driven by the mission of creating a direct impact on customers in everything it does, meaning priorities do sometimes change, but the pace and resulting feedback cycle is satisfyingly quick, and consistently so too.

We embrace flat hierarchies and an open, agile culture that fosters innovation, flexibility, and creativity.

We don’t hang our personalities up with our coats and nor should you. At Octopus, we hire great people who get stuff done, all whilst being themselves.

Great ideas come from great conversations: we’re looking for people who love to communicate and connect with their team.
